Check out this great campaign by Wilkinson. Their commercial (movie trailor format) links to a fun website where you can learn and play. Although he download time for the site was unruly, if you have patience, it's fun. Enjoy.

No discussion of marketing videos would be complete today with a discussion of the Mac Vs PC ads, which are arguably the finest commercials in market today.

If you haven't seen the Trunk Monkey, then you're in for a treat. It's a concept that should make it's way into real life! Congratulations to Suburban Auto Group and their agency R/West.
