The year’s most-watched advertisements have been revealed by YouTube, with Nike, Google and Hyundai the creators of the three most popular in 2020. Amid a year that brought unprecedented and unpredictable shifts for both consumers and brands, YouTube said ads in 2020 generated more than 470 million views and over 1.3 million likes—with 714,000 of those likes going to Clash of Clan’s short film, ‘Lost and Crowned’. While the list often features ads from the Super Bowl, the top game-day ad in 2020 hit a different tone, with Google’s Super Bowl spot ‘Loretta’ receiving many accolades after it shared the emotional, true story of an 85-year-old man who uses Google products to help him ‘not forget’ the memory of his late wife. (According to YouTube, the man is also the grandfather of a Google employee.) Josh Krasinski was also on hand to teach us how to smaht pahk the new Hyundai Sonata, while Turbo Tax made waves (and raised a few eyebrows) with its remixed ‘All People Are Tax People’ Super Bowl Spot. However, it was Nike’s ‘You Can’t Stop Us’ that took the top spot for the second time, with a video that spoke to the power of resilience…

As Silicon Valley’s tech giants come under increasing antitrust scrutiny, Chicago attorneys are pursuing compensation for hundreds of millions of Facebook users, claiming the social media company used their personal data without their knowledge to thwart competition. A complaint naming two Facebook customers and seeking class-action status was filed Dec. 3 in U.S. District Court in Facebook’s home state of California. It could be a huge class: In July Facebook had nearly 2.5 billion active daily users when counting all its product offerings, including Instagram, according to the lawsuit. It said Facebook has acquired 63 firms since 2004 as part of a strategy the suit termed “copy, acquire or kill.” Integral to that strategy was surreptitiously using data from Facebook customers and their “friends” to surveil emerging social media firms and “cheat its way to market dominance,” according to the suit. “Facebook used the data that it obtained from users to track the websites and apps visited by its users—often without full disclosure—in order to identify which upstart competitors were gaining traction so that it could target them for acquisition or destruction,” it alleges. Facebook had no immediate comment. Stephen Swedlow, a partner in the Chicago office of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart…

Today, Facebook Gaming announces a new initiative targeted specifically at Black streamers on the platform: the Black Gaming Creator Program. The company says it plans to invest $5 million a year over the next two years to support the Black gaming creator community. If you’re selected to take part in the program, there are some benefits. You’ll get Facebook Gaming partnership, early product access (along with product feedback sessions), community support — which includes invitations to all digital and in person events — and mentorship. The program also comes with guaranteed monthly pay, which distinguishes it from other creator mentorship programs. Interested creators can apply here. Leo Olebe, the global director of games partnerships at Facebook, said in a statement that the new initiative was part of Facebook’s $200 million commitment to support Black-owned businesses and organizations, which the company announced this summer. “Game streaming brings people together in a powerful way over a shared passion for games, and we hope to encourage more people to express their creativity through gaming,” he said. It’s an interesting move from Facebook, not least because it’s rare that a company puts money where it says its values are. On the other hand: Facebook…

Since its creation in October 2010, Instagram has quickly become one of the world’s most frequented social media applications, with over 1 billion monthly active users in 2020. It’s clear that the user-friendly, photo sharing network has completely changed what it means to view and post visual content. But how has the rise of Instagram affected important brands in today’s culture? Specifically, when it comes to sports companies, marketing tactics are focusing more on how they can appeal to users through the popular platform than by using other, more traditional methods. Let’s take a look at some reasons why Instagram may just be the most useful tool of the moment. Over one billion monthly users Sporting companies and brands that do not have active and relevant Instagram accounts are undoubtedly losing potential customers. Many sports fans use the platform as a tool to check news and enjoy high-quality photo content from their favourite teams, visiting pages that are related to the industry as well.
