Tumblr finally ventured into advertising this year shortly after Yahoo acquired the company, and Adweek has compiled a list of the top 20 ads for 2013.
The majority of them animated GIFS, Adweek says the ranking is based on engagement (likes, notes, reblogs, etc.) within the first 24 hours of publishing.

With the help of Tumblr user Matthias Brown, Converse saw over 180,000 notes.

Leonardo DiCaprio is still short of an Oscar, but Warner Bros. received 152,000 notes.

An end to the Hangover series, Tumblr users returned the thumbs up in the form of 76,000 notes.
