Tubular’s newest sponsored video chart is here! The Swiss watch brand teamed with the former, tennis-based athletic organization to create the most-watched sponsored video for the week of July 15: a clip congratulating this year’s champion Angelique Kerber generated 8.4 million views in just three days! As for Epic Games, the video game publisher’s wildly-popular title Fortnite continues to attract millions of views on related content. Top 10 Global Sponsored Videos 15-21 July 2018 Now we move on to our main insight for this week’s sponsored videos: if you want views, all you have to do is talk about food. Audiences are obsessed with culinary content, as we’ve seen on previous sponsored video charts, as well as on our monthly leaderboards of most-watched brands and publishers. In #5 we saw alcoholic beverage producer Bulleit partner with the ever-popular BuzzFeed property Tasty to produce a 3.6 million-views-strong clip about how to make blackberry bourbon lemonade, a refreshing recipe which clearly seemed to appeal to audiences around the world (maybe because we’re dealing with heat waves everywhere?).

As for Epic Games, the video game publisher’s wildly-popular title Fortnite continues to attract millions of views on related content. For the week of July 15, this was certainly the case as Epic partnered with beauty influencer James Charles to produce a video of the creator learning how to play Fortnite that pulled in 2.4 million views to land at #8.
