Nike: The day the stadium spoke

In this Nike Argentina spot, first aired last Sunday during the final of Copa America, one of the most watched sport events in Latin America, the 'voice of the stadium' delivers a rousing message to soccer players from the Boca Junior team.

Boca Junior is Argentina's biggest team and is sponsored by Nike, but has been struggling recently. The ad was filmed as the players attended a training session in the Bombonera stadium, taking them by surprise.

Agency: BBDO Argentina

Citroën UK: DS4SEEKERS - A game of hide and seek

A game of hide and seek in the real and virtual world by Citroen UK for the promotion of the new DS4. The campaign "DS4SEEKERS". Players use their mobile phones to hide or seek virtual DS4s on Google Maps and Google Streetview and score points in order to win a real DS4. With each point you get one entry into the draw so the more points you get, the more chances you have of winning.

It's cool that you can play out on the streets, if you have the time of course and online if you don't. The game will run for two 10 day periods, with the second planned for September 2011.

Agency: OMD UK.

Captain Morgan's: Glass

Captain Morgan saves the poor little waitress and gets the party started.
