New Nike Running Commercial

Chris Cunningham’s Gucci Ad

This amazing viral for something. It’s a very elaborate steganographic puzzle that has kept me captivated all week.

Hidden messages in photos, secret MP3 files in the source code that need to be played backwards…I sure hope it’s something good.

This recruitment site advert from STV in Scotland is great:

Wonderful music, perfect story telling, etc.

I can’t believe that this video was not an ad for Southwest Airlines.

If it was, I think it’s brilliant (especially the last line: “you can not get that on United, lemme tell you that!”)

If it wasn’t, it’s a lucky bit of exposure.

I’m already an NBA fan but these commercials for the playoffs get me.

Because you care about your Twitter, don’t you?

I found this CSC campaign especially powerful. They flipped around an old saying and turned it into something memorable and applicable to their brand.

For those of you that don’t want to click, they take common defeatist cliches and turn them into: “Rome wasn’t built in a relentlessly competitive technology-driven digital age.”

The new Audi Q5 Identity Theft ads are fantastic… Depending on where you live, you may not be able to swing a dead cat without hitting a Lexus SUV … and they’re all the same color. This ad is just so true: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9tzrmUN-7k

Brilliant series of ads:

It takes something special for a Big Pharma ad to appeal to me, so this Pfizer commercial is pretty amazing. Slays me every time.
