1. Land Rover - "Masai"

Yet again, Land Rover has delivered what is arguably this year's best piece of aspirational car advertising. It stands spears and shields above the rest of the tribe. As with previous versions, the idea and the art direction are clever and simple but undeniably striking. The otherworldly elegance of the Masai people themselves adds to the impact.

2. Department of Health - "sex lottery"

Tough brief this: alert young people to the dangers of sexual disease without turning them off. With these "sex lottery" scratchcards, the creative team fulfilled the brief without falling into earnest preaching. While the sex lottery theme speaks directly to the target audience, the "scratch" element has a certain relevance too.

3. Merrydown - "upside-down-heads"

In a world swimming in booze ads, this refreshing campaign leapt out as light-hearted and seemingly effortless. The press versions are even better than the poster executions because you can actually turn them around and view them the other way up for full effect. Merrydown is officially back on the cider category radar.

4. Volkswagen - "flowers"

These bright and breezy ads capture the spirit of summer. They make you want to drive down the road, with the top down and the wind rushing through your hair, even now, in the depths of December. The campaign was created to launch the Beetle Cabriolet as a fun car, appealing to the flowers-and-rainbows-loving girlie-girl in us all. Bless.

5. Adidas - "impact"

The stars of this year's Rugby World Cup are brought to life through this unique campaign. The self-portraits were based on impressions formed by the players covering themselves in acrylic paint and throwing themselves at canvas-wrapped tackle bags. The result is a set of paint-splattered executions that evoke what it must be like to be on the pitch.

6. Barnardo's - "Barnardo's"

Any campaign tackling child poverty needs to be thought-provoking and BBH came up with the goods for Barnardo's. The ads, inspired by the fact the UK has the worst child poverty rate in Europe, subvert the cliche of the child born with a silver spoon in its mouth. Yet another charity milking controversy for PR effect? Yes, but that doesn't dilute the impact of the ads.

7. Elle Macpherson - "intimates"

The Glue Society's brief was to launch Elle Macpherson's latest lingerie range without featuring "The Body" herself modelling the range. Which seems a shame. These edgy press ads may be a little too "intimate" for those of a delicate disposition, but their raw sexuality makes Kylie look like Shirley Temple.

8. Paddy Power - "Paddy Power"

The TV ident version of this campaign picked up a silver at the BTAA, but the print work is no less effective. It communicates Paddy Power's fun, if tasteless, approach to betting. The cheeky strapline set against an, at first glance, innocent image of two children in the bath, will appeal to dad lads everywhere.

9. Marmite - "love and hate"

Encouraging "haters" to try Marmite in their sarnies is never going to be an easy task. This attempt works as well in print as anywhere. Love the sticky brown stuff or loathe it, you've got to adore these posters.

10. Remington - "trim and shape"

As attention-grabbing campaigns go, this has to be among the year's winners. It entered uncharted territory with a fresh take on a client that gave us Victor Kiam buying the company. That approach would never have worked for this product.
