• Top 5 Branded Videos of the Week: Ramseyfication levels increasing (and MrBeast is here too)

  And so our bonus video pick turned out to be more prescient than we first thought. Like we mentioned in last week's Gospel Stats Weekly Brand Report, we picked a Dave Ramsey video as our bonus for the week of June 16, because we'd noticed his clips popping up more and more. Then, when we tallied last week's list, Ramsey took spot #3. This week? He took spots #3 and #4, and by our count posted a total of over 30 sponsored videos this week. MrBeast is still in spot #1, of course.....but maybe not for long?

  
• 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.
