If You Don’t Watch This Ad, A Puppy Will Be Killed!

YouTube videos often have short ads that can be skipped after five seconds. And 94 percent of them get skipped after the first five seconds. I write a blog about ads, and I still skip these ads. So Nail Communications, a Providence, Rhode Island agency has an interesting way to make you watch. The same tactic was used on an old National Lampoon magazine cover, but still, it’s pretty notable. And it’s got a great 26% view rate. I’m glad that adorable puppy didn’t get electrocuted, and I’m glad the ASPCA will get some extra dough.
