In this week's best ads, two mobile companies—Samsung and Thailand's DTAC—are as far away in their marketing approaches as they are geographically, with the former continuing its attacks on Apple and the latter telling a touching tale of fatherhood in which the tech has only a supporting role.

Emotional pitches are also at the heart of two of our other top ads this week. One, from Greenpeace, uses Legos and a haunting version of a well-known song to send a very clear message; the other, from Guinness, offers up a patriotic tribute that is as sweet as it is simple.
