These are the 10 winners of our second Ads Worth Spreading challenge. The dream behind this initiative is to find ads that communicate ideas with consumers in the same way that TED wants to communicate with its audience.

What really interested me about this was how Toyota USA used the Vocaloid Hatsune Miku to target Vocaloid and anime fans, like with making Miku drive a car - basically saying to them that this is the type of car she drives. Of course, this is really impossible considering Miku is merely a hologram with her own Vocaloid voicebank making her talk.
