Found via the brilliant Very Short List, an ad for Big Yellow by agency CHI & Partners. The ad won a Bronze Medal in the 2007 Cannes Lions competition.

As someone who swings from chronic hoarder to ‘just get rid of it all’ minimalist (seemingly) every few days, and living in a small flat with not enough storage space, this ad does speak to me. Anyway, enjoy it, it’s fun.
