With the Rio 2016 Olympics kicking off this weekend, we take a look at the best (and worst) campaigns launched to celebrate the games.

Brands such as McDonald’s, Samsung, Coca-Cola, Visa and more have all jumped on board with a different take on Olympic advertising, but what's your favourite?

Maccas and Optus went for a more humorous approach, whereas Samsung and Coke tapped into the emotional side of the sporting celebration.

And what is an Olympics Games without controversy – Telstra got itself into hot water by pushing ‘misleading ads’ and Samsung has been called out for launching an ad very similar to Coca-Cola’s 2014 Super Bowl ad.

Over at AdNews we have our favourite Olympic campaigns, but we want to know what you love the most.
