YouTube Reveals Top Ads of 2018 EMEA

YouTube has released its overall 2018 EMEA ads leaderboard. The top spot is taken by German online real estate portal Immowelt, with its epic narrative depicting the search for larger living spaces through the ancestor of the main character, Eddy.

Google Home’s take on Christmas stalwart Home Alone plays on nostalgia, hitting the second spot – and it wasn’t the only Christmas ad to win big. John Lewis and Sainsbury’s both feature with this year’s festive ad offerings.

Nike’s ‘Dream Crazy’, featuring US football star and political activist Colin Kaepernick, also made the cut, coming in at number 4 after prompting debate across the globe.
