Go Binge tops YouTube most watched list

The chilled dolph-a-sloth, created for Three UK’s Go Binge offering, has found itself at the top of YouTube’s most watched ads list for July.

At the time of writing, the second of our animal mash-ups for Three, following May’s giraffe-a-mingo, has clocked up almost 4.3 million views on the mobile provider’s YouTube channel since launching last month.

Babbel – Missing Out

We took a trip to Barcelona with Babbel, the language learning app, to find out just how much English speakers miss out on abroad by not speaking the local language.

In the experiment, British tourists were offered some of the best holiday experiences imaginable, all for free. A yacht, a helicopter, a personal butler, €5,000 spending money, you name it. All they had to do was say “si”. Watch below to see how they fared.

The spot, directed by Tom Gorst and produced by Full Fat Films, was created as part of Babbel’s Be A Better Brit Abroad campaign and will broadcast across social platforms.
