Information gathering
•The year’s most adrenaline-fueled ads, oddly enough, came from a B2B long-haul trucking campaign. Swedish agency Forsman & Bodenfors upended the category with its hair-raising test stunts for

Volvo Trucks, ranging from a woman slacklining between two speeding 18-wheelers to a man fleeing a herd of bulls in a Volvo FL. The crowning achievement, though, was Jean-Claude Van Damme doing

"the most epic of splits" between two slowly reversing Volvo Globetrotters, showing the precision of the vehicle’s dynamic steering. Exquisitely shot by Andreas Nilsson, with strangely poetic

narration by Van Damme over the echoing, ethereal swells of Enya’s "Only Time," it’s a mesmerizing minute of film—odd, audacious, hypnotic, and in the end, epic indeed. And with 60 million

YouTube views in less than a month, it has the world under its spell.
