How do you advertise Friends to the YouTube generation? By creating responsive pre-roll YouTube ads which matches users’ search terms with scenes from the 90s sitcom.
The final episode of Friends aired on May 6, 2004, almost one year before YouTube had even launched (February 14, 2005). The Friendly Preroll campaign from Ogilvy Paris, tags thousands of YouTube top searched videos in the campaign.
