Parody of the fantastic Sony Bravia commercial (can’t believe I hadn’t posted about that!).
Great guerilla campaign for the World Wildlife Fund: a book on ‘Amazing Animals’ is left in libraries and bookstores – but it only contains blank pages. A simple and original way to convey the message.
Very clever Greenpeace ad to encourage paper recycling. This Sony ad is also nice and simple.

As part of their Simplicity ad campaign, Philips has asked a number of Time publications to print the table of contents on the cover. Benefits the reader, and ties in nicely with the campaign message.

Some great case studies in photo retouching by artist Taylor James.
A collection of Smirnoff ads.
