In a new advert Audi has brought together two actors who have played the same character. Both Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto have played Spock in the Star Trek movies, with Nimoy portraying the character in the original series and movies and Quinto taking the reigns for the new 'rebooted' movies.

So it comes as no surprise that Audi is asking the question, which Spock is better? In the advert we see the two playing chess online, then a new challenge is laid down.

The commercial is comical, showcasing their latest car, but drawing on some past achievements of Nimoy with an interesting ending.

Created by the same team that produced the viral dollar shave club commercial, Paulilu and agency PMK*BNC.

Jaguar's F-Type is their first sports car in 50 years. To celebrate that fact they have released what can only be described as a mini movie.

The twelve-and-a-half minute film, created by The Brooklyn Brothers and RSA Films, stars Homeland actor Damian Lewis and also features a specially commissioned song, 'Burning Desire,' from Singer Lana Del Rey .

Shot in Chile's Atacama desert, the film plays up Mr. Lewis' upper class British heritage, comparing him to Prince Harry and casting him as a smooth operator with a dry sense of humour.

The film-ad has been compared to BMW's 2001 film by Fallon, but George Bryant, founding partner of The Brooklyn Brothers has denied the similarities.

Watch the video below and let us know what you think.

From the company that brought you 'the man your man could smell like' comes a new kind of banner ad. Old Spice, which is becoming renowned for its crazy ad antics has produced the internet's first scratch-and-sniff banner advert.

Unlike Google's April Fools joke, this one won't have you pressing your nose up to the screen, instead you fill in a form and they will send you 'the smell of the Internet'.

This is another clever and amusing campaign from the brand, promoting their Wolfthorn line of products.

Take a sniff for yourself here or see it in action over on the Onion's Sport Page.

Most diet food products try and sell themselves as a route to a better life but not this Irish cheese brand. 

They decided to break the mould and poke fun at traditional advertising with its ironic 'girls from adland' video. The advert from Kerry Low Low features the standard three types of ad girl: the smug girl, the ditzy girl and the muffin girl. Each has a trait you may recognise from a number of diet food ads. 

Clever and humorous whilst also obvious - it even has a catchy song.

Have a look at the video below. Enjoy!

Car manufacturers sometimes have a hard time relating the latest money-saving technology in their cars to their customer's everyday lives. Seat Germany may have managed it with the help of Grey Worldwide Dusseldorf.

To demonstrate how their new "Brake Energy Recovery System" which saves the energy normally lost during braking and reuses it when the accelerating, they fitted out one of their Seat Alhambra's as a taxi, added some cameras and a special glitch with the meter.

A clever marketing ploy to show consumers how they can save money, the video is definitely one to watch.

Twitter has relaunched its specialist business and marketing platform; Twitter for Business.

The relaunch includes best practice guides and case studies from companies such as Porsche and Hubspot. The site has been redesigned to make it easier for anyone to use; either a seasoned marketer or a small business owner.

Encouraging businesses to utilise Twitter is pretty simple, getting them to advertise and spend is more difficult and the relaunch of this platform lends itself to the idea that Twitter wants to be a bigger advertising medium than before.

Twitter has also released the video below outlining some quick tips to enhance your Twitter usage.
