According to Ad Age, The Google is loving Burger King’s branded content play, Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy.
Branded-entertainment deals can be complex and difficult to replicate, and deals like Mr. MacFarlane’s — which has racked up more than 12 million views since it launched in early September — don’t come around very often.

The series debuted on Sept. 10 and will continue for 50 total episodes.
