Compiled for M+AD by Colmar Brunton client executive Mark Evans: An American ad has invaded the latest Top 10 – Samsung S8 Ostrich debuted last month at #2, but has gone straight to No 1 in the latest survey.
“The song makes it,” said one observer, echoing those who say they were pulled in by Elton John’s Rocket Man (not to mention the comedy act put on by the ostrich flock).
And, inevitably, Mitre 10 Sandpit is still a key part of the top 10 – as it has been for every month for the past seven years (yes – seven!).
The only debut this month is another offshore ad (Skoda Karaoke out of Czech Republic).
