There's really never a good time to talk about organ donation. That's the insight that inspired Revolver/Will O'Rourke writer/director Richard Bullock to go all in and cast Jesus Christ as the lead for his latest short film. No doubt this will create some heated discussion. And that's exactly the point of it all. To get people to talk about organ donation. Despite having very successful outcomes for Organ transplant, Australia has relatively low levels of donor registration compared to other countries. This phenomenon has nothing to do with a willingness to donate and more to do with a unique set of issues found in Australia. In fact 80% of Australians say they will donate but only 34% are on the registry. The complexity of this needed to be explained as well as a need for people to talk about the issue with their loved ones. One of the key requirements for becoming a donor is in fact talking to your family about becoming a donor. If people do not know the wishes of their loved ones 50% of families will say no.

This Halloween, fans of the M&M'S brand have a special treat to look forward to – a new M&M'S commercial. It's been 11 years since the brand has released a new Halloween commercial and this year, Red and Yellow are back for a hauntingly good time. The :15 second spot, "Ghosted," was produced by BBDO New York and takes a humorous look at "surviving" the scariest night of the year—which, it turns out, is even scarier when you're a M&M'S character. The commercial takes a Halloween-themed look at the brand's longstanding irresistibility storyline to show what life (or death) is like when you're a delicious piece of chocolate. Along with the full-length spot, a :06 second version, "Eaten," will also run online.

Plastic Free Pledge, the Hove-based anti-plastics charity, is doing its bit to publicise the risk to our oceans with a new film, out this week.

All parents know the dangers of common household products. But these products are so familiar that it can be hard to break out of the everyday and take action to learn how to prevent death or serious injury for our little ones.

By cutting through the regular radio noise with these ads, we can help shake parents out of their apathy and think more seriously about taking a St John Tiny Tots First Aid course. Agency: Meerkats

Vicks, a brand synonymous with family and care, has launched the second edition of Vicks #TouchOfCare, its heart-warming campaign that went viral last year. 'Vicks - One in a Million' is yet another inspiring story, this time of Nisha, a young girl who has Ichthyosis, a genetic skin condition. The transformation of Nisha due to the love and care provided by her adoptive parents Aloma and David Lobo, forms the crux of this digital video. The second campaign continues to spread the idea that 'Every Child Deserves the touch of Care'. Created by Publicis Singapore, the story is a first-person narrative by Nisha, an orphaned girl with Ichthyosis who was abandoned by her biological parents when she was just two weeks old. Her life was transformed when she was adopted by Aloma and David Lobo, who despite having children of their own, gave Nisha a family which showered her with unconditional love and the #TouchOfCare. The film gracefully captures Nisha's story as she sails through the challenges and complexities of life, with her mother and a family at her side. It beautifully depicts how Nisha, who is an extraordinary girl, leads an ordinary, regular life - one of hopes, dreams and challenges - and how Aloma has brought her up in a way that is no different from anyone else.

One in two people will suffer from an eye condition at some time in their lives, yet we take our eyes for granted. In fact, most Australians have never even had an eye test. To show people the true value of their eyes, Specsavers posed as Vesper Sacs, a fake medical research company, and confronted everyday Australians with an unthinkable question: how much would you sell your eyes for? The elaborate social experiment elicited genuine reactions by constructing a high-tech facility in a CBD office tower from scratch - complete with staff, a company backstory, brochures, a corporate video and even stationery. In New Zealand the film launched to millions of eyes in a media first: the buyout of an entire four-minute ad break.
