I’m not sure that this is an actual Alexa commercial but it demonstrates the kind of questions that would be asked of Amazon’s Alexa in the Middle East. I’ve found a couple of these types of videos online lately. Also, I recently discovered that Amazon is launching Alexa in Saudi Arabia which I think is very cool.
Hello World,
I’ve been thinking about how I could possibly start an Inside That Ad (ITA) YouTube channel. Do you guys think that’s even possible? The reason I am considering a YouTube channel for the ITA blog is for three reasons:
- There isn’t advertising and or a marketing channel like the ITA blog on YouTube. You know, a channel the discusses the ad as content along with the ad’s creators (i.e. ad agency or marketing firm.

It’s time for the year-end lists, and here’s a fun one—the 2017 YouTube Ads Leaderboard, featuring the most-watched ads on the video platform this year.

Remarkably, the No. 1 spot on the list, with more than 150 million views, comes from India. It’s a Samsung spot that we wrote about back in January, shortly after it broke and began pulling in views by the millions in just its first few days.
Looking back at 2016, the year was one of the biggest yet for video marketing. More and more outlets adopted this form of advertising than ever before, and this massive adoption rate created new practices and trends that no one really saw coming.
