Tag a piece of furniture as yourself and you get the item. It’s that simple. In this promo, IKEA hijacked existing Facebook technology, and infiltrated the photo albums with beautifully shot IKEA rooms.

Epic-ly bad… or AWESOME!!! The guys behind ilovelocalcommercials.com are brilliant. It’s simple, nominate a local deserving small business, these guys come out and film an epic commercial and proceed to get half a million views on YouTube. Then, they get another 100k views from the behind the scenes. Amazing how a video camera, creativity, and a little editing can take local commercials to a level never imagined. These guys did the Red House commercials too.
The Volvo S60 Blind Preview. Volvo produced a mini-documentary in which a blind artist paints the new Volvo S60, “a car no one has seen yet.” The related videos are brilliant.
Expense a Steak. A single function site that generates a set of receipts for office related items that total up to an amount in which you want to hide from Accounting. Simple and effective. I know it was heavily shared around the redpepper hq.
