*Cute Ad Alert* Why we’re loving Android’s ‘Friends Furever’

   



I think it’s fair to say that by now we’ve all come to learn that content featuring animals – basically anything that’s cute or fluffy – is a big winner in the viral video stakes.

Most recently we’ve seen Budweiser leading the charge with its #BestBuds campaign, but remember back to Cadbury’s Gorilla ad? What about Guinness ‘Surfer’? Or Rolo’s Elephant TV ad? The list could go on…

Well now Google is joining in on the trend with its latest Android ad ‘Friends Furever’ featuring countless adorable animals aimed at showing the world how to “Be Together. Not the same.”

And to whoever says cute animals aren’t a sure fire way of ensuring your ad goes viral: Unruly’s Viral Video Chart has tracked a whopping 376,000+ shares of the ad so far* and the ad itself has racked up a whopping 9.2 million+ views on YouTube*.

Now we’re off to look up cats on BuzzFeed…

(*Figures correct at time of writing - things move so quickly in the online world that we can't always keep up!)
