Most watched ads in August 2009

Finally, an old favourite has come on top in the BT-TAM most watched ads list. Lifebuoy Total has inched up from its 5th slot in July to the No. 1 rank in the August list.

Otherwise the constituents of the list have pretty much remained the same with a few of them trading ranks. Kinley Mineral Water and Parachute Advansed are the only new entrants this time in the top-10.

Chances are that one would not have to jog one’s memory too hard to recollect watching these ads. Whether one liked them, or not, is, of course, a different story.
