To drum up some biz-nass in its home state Kansas, the Russell Agency cobbled together this low-budget spot called “Bob’s Mops.” In it, a desperate business owner dons a saucy gorilla suit and dances on the street for would-be mop clients, ultimately scaring most innocent bystanders away.

We like gorillas that dance; more importantly, we like agencies that are trying to reach out to their communities, particularly small businesses, which need all the creative help they can get. Ya just don’t see enough of that.
