Arnold Schwarzenegger Terminates The YouTube Ad Leaderboard

Arnold Schwarzenegger Terminates The YouTube Ad Leaderboard

Among branded videos released on YouTube in June, the Terminator is tops. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s social prank to support the After-School All-Stars program grabbed the number one spot in the latest YouTube Ad Leaderboard, which shows the top sponsored content released on YouTube each month.

In a video released on June 17th, the Governator dons his Terminator get-up and walks around downtown Los Angeles. While it’s fun to watch Ahnold intimidate random passersby, the video was primarily intended as a way to spread the world about his recent Omaze campaign to support After-School All-Stars. Given its 22.7 million views, I’d say it accomplished that goal quite well.

Following right behind The Terminator on the Ad Leaderboard is a video from Dove, which has established itself as one of YouTube’s top brands. In April, the cosmetics company made a splash just in time for Mother’s Day, and in June, it gave Father’s Day a similar treatment.

In third place comes an ad for a mobile game, and no, it’s not Clash of Clans. Instead, collectible card game Hearthstone–which is currently the third most-streamed game on Twitch–scored seven-digit views with a clever commercial.

Here, courtesy of Google, is the entire June Leaderboard:
