Five of the best online ads of July: Adidas, Refuge, Louis Vuitton, Dove and Ikea 09 August 2012, 2:28PM Tweet Following a request on last month's blog post asking for greater focus on non-TV creative and interactive ads we’ve tried to expand out this month's ad list. Showcasing interactive ads after they’ve run is difficult as the interactivity has normally been taken away but we’re going to do our best for a few months. Likewise the majority of video ads run across both TV and Video (99% for Vindico in the UK and 97% in the US) so it can be difficult to find video only executions, which have also done enough to make the top 5! Again, we’ll try and make sure that we represent these ads as best we can. Feel free to respond and recommend ads to us if you like!
