The first ad, from the luxury-goods manufacturer and style-setter Louis Vuitton, has been around for a few years and features the best Bond, Sean Connery. The benefiting cause is The Climate Project, founded by Nobel Laureate Al Gore.
In the second ad current Bond Daniel Craig pitches Omega, the Swiss watchmaker. The Omega ad calls attention to the cause Orbis International, which flies a hospital plane into the developing world to perform essential eye surgeries where it lands.

Oh, and the Vuitton ad was shot by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz.
I’m not going to parse this out any farther. Instead I’m just going to say that as a long-time fan of Bond and practitioner of cause marketing I never expected to see two different actors who have both played James Bond pitching two different cause marketing campaigns in the same magazine.
Such is the distance that cause marketing has come.
