• Top 5 Branded Videos of the Week: Ramseyfication levels increasing (and MrBeast is here too)
• Top 5 Branded Videos of the Week: Hello this is Dave Ramsey calling

  Last week, we picked a Yrefy-sponsored Dave Ramsey highlight as our bonus video, because we'd noticed the financial advice-spouting show host frequently churns out over two dozen sponsored videos a week. This week? He's made spot #3 on our list, with a video where he advises a young man whose dad put him in one hell of a situation. We're pretty pleased with our prescient pick (say that five times fast), and while we know Ramsey's often tough advice can be controversial, he does help some callers navigate seemingly unwinnable scenarios--including this one.

  
• Top 5 Branded Videos of the Week: LEGO, Disney, Tide, oh my

  Big-name sponsors is the name of the game in our latest Gospel Stats Weekly Brand Report , with LEGO, Disney, and Tide all pulling in the top 5. We also have something else notable: Shorts in spots #1 and #2. Does that mean we'll start to see more Shorts sponsorships? Maybe! Does it mean brands are finally understanding/embracing the Shorts ads tools YouTube has been steadily bulking up? Also maybe! Whatever the case, it's clear sponsors with lots of cash to splash see Shorts as a key to summer marketing. We're curious if it pays off for them.
