  • It’s that time of year. Everybody’s putting out their best of 2014 lists. This time it’s YouTube with the top ads of the year.

    “Thanks to the creativity of this year’s videos, people are spending more time watching videos from brands than ever before,” says YouTube’s Alyson Yaffe. “In fact, we watched more than 1 billion minutes of the top 10 ads this year alone. And while the top ads are nearly 50 percent longer this year compared to last—averaging around 3 minutes each—we stayed tuned longer, spending around 50 percent more time watching them.”

    YouTube also has a rewind video available here.
