'Money talks, honesty wins' - Hyposwiss Private Bank
Whatâs happening: Okay, letâs get real. Hyposwiss is laying it all out there: they love their clients for the cash, and the clients love them for not beating around the bush about it. Itâs a classic case of mutual appreciation... and transactional honesty.

Why itâs awesome: I mean, who doesnât love a bank that admits the obvious? Theyâre not pretending to be your best friend; theyâre just really good at keeping your money safe while making you feel valued. Itâs cheeky, itâs bold, and itâs a little too honest â and I love it.
'A century of heroes' - Getty Images
Whatâs happening: Getty Images throws it back 100 years to show us that nurses have been absolute legends forever. From the Spanish Flu to COVID-19, these heroes have stayed masked up and ready to save the day, literally.

Why itâs awesome: Itâs like time-travel, but instead of DeLoreans, weâre riding on emotion. The side-by-side comparison just hits you right in the feels, reminding you that some things, like heroism and face masks, never go out of style. Also, Getty casually flexes its collection of iconic moments. Well played.
'Highlighting tough truths' - Staedtler
Whatâs happening: Ever wanted to break up with someone, but also kind of teach them a lesson? Enter Staedtlerâs highlighter, your partner in emphasizing the awkward truth in the brightest yellow possible. Tough love, but make it bold.

Why itâs awesome: This ad is savage in the best way. It turns a plain old highlighter into a weapon for clarity. Plus, who doesnât love the passive-aggressive brilliance of marking exactly what you want someone to take away from your words? Genius.

90,082 founders, investors and leaders read this.
Founders and leaders that read Open Source CEO end up with 2.3x the cerebral horsepower of those that donât.

'More than just a pull' - Land Rover
Whatâs happening: Picture this: your SUV isnât just pulling a trailer â oh no, itâs ripping through steel sheets like itâs a superhero. Land Rover is out here flexing the Defenderâs strength in the most dramatic way possible.

Why itâs awesome: This isnât just a car; itâs a flex on wheels. It makes you want to tow something ridiculous just to see if it can handle it (spoiler: it probably can). The ad is so confident, itâs borderline cocky â and honestly, Iâm here for it.
'Are you winged or boneless?' - KFC
Whatâs happening: This oneâs a callout. KFC is challenging you to prove your chicken-eating skills, ranking you as a ânoviceâ or a âpro eaterâ based on how clean you can strip a wing. Think youâve got what it takes? Bring it.

Why itâs awesome: Itâs hilarious, itâs competitive, and itâs so KFC. They know their fans take wings seriously, and this ad basically says, âStep up or step out.â Plus, now Iâm eyeing my next bucket of wings like itâs a boss level in a game. Challenge accepted.
