I find the blue man group inspirational. They were able to take an abstract concept and turn it into a money-making act by making themselves blue. It's the whole idea of marketing something unusual to make a point.

This video was an advertisement for Nike shoes about a year ago. I like it and was drawn to it because of the title, "Need Motivation?". It's basically 6 different scenarios of people running. However, they're all running towards something, or away from something. Either way, these people have a purpose for their quickened pace and determined face. The scene ends with a guy jogging on a treadmil, looking a little sluggish, kind of like he's lost any motivation.
