November we are seeing the Louis Vuitton L’Invitation Au Voyage” take the top spot in the leaderboard. The epic production with high entertainment value continues to demonstrate the power of celebrity and high production value in generating viral shares and user engagement on YouTube. Google India’s “Reunion” spot in 3rd place showcases the universality of a core consumer insight that is at once highly local to India and Pakistan, yet also relevant to users across the world. And finally, in 5th place, is a new entry for Mobinil featuring Amr Diab that despite only being on YouTube for 7 days in November has already become one of the most popular spots of the month.
