Samsung Beats Apple With Two Top Ads of the Week

By Karen Fratti 

The top ten ads of the week are in, ranked by digital share of voice (SOV). According to an iSpot TV spokesperson:

After three weeks of Supercell’s “Clash of Clans” dominance, this week finally saw a nearly complete refresh of the list with seven new ads making their debut.

Despite a week that led into Apple’s big WWDC keynote and all the news that followed, it was Samsung that led the advertising charge to take the top two ad engagement slots in support of the Galaxy S6 Edge device. Its “Wireless Charging, Wide Angle Selfie” spot had the best digital share of voice rating of over 2%, with 2.9 million online views and over 8,000 social actions. And its “Edge Display” spot came in second, with a 1% digital SOV backed by over 1 million online views another 8,000 social actions.

Meanwhile, rival Apple had only one ad in the top ten, the “Shot on iPhone 6 by Antoine D.” which ranked dead last at 10th with a .48% digital SOV ranking, over 300,000 online views and 4,000 social actions. This may prove an interesting foreshadowing to next week, with Apple expected to debut several new ads in support of its newly announced services, such as Apple Music.
