YouTube on Friday released its first-ever regional language Ads Leaderboard, listing the top ten most-watched regional language advertisements on its platform.

The list includes the top 10 most-watched ads spanning the second half of 2020 encompassing advertising in six regional Indian languages. The list has been announced keeping in mind the increasing preference for regional content, the Google-owned video platform said.

Sapna Chadha, Senior Director of Marketing for SEA & India, Google, said, “Today, 1 out 3 Indians consumes online video. What’s heartening to see is that brands are being agile, and creating marketing assets especially to reach users in different languages. This first regional leaderboard is a sign for the times, and consumers can expect more memorable language advertising in 2021 on YouTube.”
