The Poop-tastic Planner’ — Sit Amet

The Finger You Never Saw Coming!’ — ŌURA

  • What’s happening: A hand with an ŌURA ring extends a finger. A bearded man with a basketball is blurred on a court. The cheeky call: "Give us the finger."

  • Why it’s awesome: It cleverly flips a notorious gesture on its head, using bold wordplay to create an unforgettable, cheeky hook. This audacious move ensures ŌURA stands out and commands immediate attention.

The Ununterrupted Pour’ — Meshki

  • What’s happening: Meshki drops a two-part Instagram ad featuring a woman pouring from a jug in one post, with the liquid caught by another in a martini glass directly below it, creating a single, continuous visual stream.

The Paper Punch-Up!’ — Reflex

  • What’s happening: An office drone, pushed to his limit, has gone full Office Space on a copier with a sledgehammer. Clearly, someone messed with his TPS reports. The culprit? "Brand Y" paper.

  • Why it’s awesome: It brilliantly exaggerates common office tech frustration, pinning the blame squarely on cheap paper. Hilarious, relatable, and gets the point across: invest in Reflex paper, save your sanity (and your printer).
