The Top 5 Most Shared Ads of 2015

#1: Android's adorable 'Friends Furever' ad hit the top spot will a huge 6.4m shares, and its easy to see why. I doubt there's a person out there who doesn't find this spot heart-warming - if unlikely paired animals coexisting in harmony doesn't bring a smile to your face, then I don't know what will! The animals are cleverly used to emphasise Android's 'be together not the same' catchphrase while also having a little dig at the more mainstream iOS system.
#2: 'Disney Characters Surprise Shoppers' features a hidden camera element where Micky, Minnie, Goofy and the gang surprised passers-by in a mall by imitating their movements. The feel-good ad sees the public relinquishing their maturity to have fun with their favourite Disney characters, and proved popular with 3.9m shares.
#3: Purina's 'Puppyhood', probably my personal favourite, tells the story of a young bachelor who falls in love with a King Charles Spaniel puppy. The life of a pet owner isn't always easy, but its always full of fun. Both funny and sweet, the spot was shared over 3m times.
#4: Fourth place goes to Christiano Ronaldo and Monster's public stunt which saw the famous football hide his identity on the streets of Madrid. He pretended to be a homeless man and surprised onlookers with his fast footwork. He eventually reveals himself to an astonished young boy, and signs his football for him. The video generated 2.9m shares.
#5: Budweiser's 'Lost Dog' campaign is another touching spot telling the story of searching for a place to call home. The ad was aired during the Superbowl and was passed on 2.8m times.
