Coke’s Brazilian ad agency created this clever campaign for Coca-Cola.FM which converts the magazine it appeared in into a low-fi acoustic speaker dock for iPhones and iPod Touches.

A clever beach-side promotional display for Sprite looks like a giant soda machine, but we’re thinking that it dispenses water and not lemon-lime soda or else it would make for one sticky mess.

The World Wildlife Fund’s latest promotional clip perfectly juxtaposes the parallels between human and animal life, reminding us that we all need to share this one planet we have.

A completely psychotic (but unaired) ad for NutriGrain in which we are led to believe the cereal bars are not only nutritious, but filled with methamphetamine. What did we just watch?

Israeli television commercial director Roni Kleiner’s 45 second live action PSA is enhanced with a dramatic visual effect, and is beautiful in its execution of a strong yet simple message.
