Bell’s Whisky: The Reader

Heartwarming! An elderly man who doesn't know how to read, picks up a book from a bookstore and he begins a journey from illiteracy to literacy. From learning the first letters of the alphabet to reading the entire book. A true man of character. He finally meets the author. The tagline, Give that man a Bell's, comes as a reward.

Learn For Life Foundation: Set Yourself Free

Stay in school or die horribly! This is what happens when you slack off.
This is not the usual public service announcement you'd expect. It's more like a splatter movie. And a big viral hit.

Kia K900: The Truth (Super Bowl 2014)

Laurence Fishburne returns to the role of Morpheus for Kia's Super Bowl commercial. He acts as a valet who ask a rich couple to make a choice between the luxury they know and a kind of luxury. There is a blue and a red key (remember the blue/red pills from Matrix?). "Take the blue key and go back to the luxury you know. You take the red key and you'll never look at luxury the same again."

They take the red key and while they drive Kia's K900 luxury sedan, Morpheus sings Nessum Dorma while cars explode!

Newcastle Brown Ale: The Teaser for the Trailer for Newcastle's Mega Huge Football Game Ad

I love the ingenuity of Droga5. He makes fun of Super Bowl teaser campaigns with this trailer for the Mega Huge Football Game Ad Newcastle Brown Ale would've made if they had a mega huge advertising budget.

Without having an ad in the Super Bowl he managed to top the list for teasers.
