Each week, iSpot.tv’s Editorial team picks their favorite new ads. Here are the Editors’ picks for the week of May 8 through May 15, 2015.
#5 Wix.com: “Heidi Whities: It’s That Easy” Featuring Heidi Klum
To be brief, “tighty whities” make anything funny. Supermodel Heidi Klum makes her business partner, and us, blush when she comes up with a concept for her newest product.

#4 BEHR Paint: “True to Hue”
BEHR Paint encourages us to be creative and define our inner hues. As “Color Is a Beautiful Thing” by Nina Simone plays in the background, various colors conjure up romantic, surreal and quirky images. “Blue Me Away” is a couple embracing each other while suspended in calm blue water; “Off Broadway” is a father and son venturing out on a fishing trip in a landscape of fog, mountains and islands; and “Fuzzy Duckling” shows a blonde woman rocking glitter yellow eye shadow and a feathery, bright yellow jacket as she strides through tall yellow doors. All in all, BEHR reminds us to define ourselves however we choose.

#2 Pepsi-Max “Wheatgrass Shake”
Wheatgrass shakes are for suspender-wearing hipsters who still listen to vinyl. At least that’s what Pepsi seems to think with its newest soda-over-health-food marketing mentality. Sounds familiar? By the end of 2012, Taco Bell released a controversial ad, it later pulled, that discouraged people from eating vegetables. The ad mentioned bringing veggies on Game Day was a cop out.

#1 Dick’s Sporting Goods: “Choices: Who Will You Be”
This week, Dick’s Sporting Goods joined the “fem-vertising” trend. The “‘Who Will You Be?” campaign has focused on the power of everyday decision-making in the life of an athlete – in this ad, it’s about the power of the decision these women make to stay in touch with their inner athlete. We are given a realistic view of the busy lives they lead: we see one woman getting up while it’s still dark outside to go on a run as a mom runs on the treadmill while keeping the baby monitor close to her. All throughout, we see the women’s dedication to make fitness a part of their daily lives and making everyday a victory.
