Nike Playmaker

Taking the hassle out of organising a game of footy. On the site you can set up a match, then send out invites to your team, who can respond to the fixture by text or email. The games are automatically updated when players reply and you can store all your team's information on site.

Mistletoe Makeover

This is a little bit too much fun - Sephora have produced a Mistletoe Makeover, takes a little while to setup but the result is very funny or at least it was when using a picture of me (perhaps not the target audience).

Read A Book At Work

In an effort to promote books and reading, the New Zealand book council have created a campaign to encourage office workers to read during their working day. It disguises reading material as office documents. It doesn't take itself very seriously (Widows bc!) but is actually pretty convincing.
