WWF - Coins Outdoor campaign

This is a fantastic campaign I stumbled across today by the WWF in Brasil, raising donations in a rather innovative and different way. The magnetic posters were placed across Cinemas, Gyms, and Reception areas in company buildings, and relied on a paint by numbers type method of placing certain coins on the highlighted positions to reveal the hidden creature.

IFAW - Spoof Cadbury Gorilla advert

The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has release a viral spoof remake of the Cadbury Gorilla advert, which features a Gorilla-less drum kit, with the caption 'A world without Gorillas is closer than you think'.

This clever and very simple remake puts across an extremely clear message in a way that is eerily impactful. Take a look yourselves below...
