YouTube's seven ads of the year 2018 have been announced - Video

Let's face it, a lot of the time adverts are nothing more than annoying, or they give us a break to go and get some snacks, coffee or another beer. However, sometimes the creators of the ads work magic and make something really worthwhile. This is the case with the YouTube Ad of the Year 2018, run together with the Webby Awards.

The following are the seven best adverts of the year on YouTube, chosen by popular viewer vote.

'Heart of a Lio' - Gatorade

This Gatorade ad presents an animated short film called “Heart of a Lio,” which encourages people to sweat for their dreams. Apparently if you drink Gatorade, you can then beat Lionel Messi.
