Kinect – such an ugly word. No matter – enjoy these beautifully conceived ads by advertising juggernaut McCann Erickson.

Sao Paulo’s advertising campaign to promote pet ownership is a lovely concept, beautifully executed. Chic would approve, I’m sure.

Hurrahs and high fives to the kraut pixelmeisters at Serviceplan for their splendid campaign for Lego.
