Conclusion

The rankings still can change as brands fight for social media users’ attention. However, based on the videos above, we can draw conclusions on what is the secret of a successful commercial.

1. Play Mind Games

All best commercials include a high level of emotions whether it is a funny scene or a moving moment which concerns the most important values. It is the content that people want to share.

2. Hire a Famous Person

Working with influencers is a good investment. Celebrities and big names in general help to increase reach, popularity and to attract a wider audience.

3. Be Consistent

Don’t forget to incorporate your brand image in a message. When your company focuses on family values, include them in a video. Like Budweiser refers to the importance of friendship.
