[IxDA Discuss] Are there any excellent examples of corporate web sites?

[Simon Clatworthy]

I am looking for some excellent examples of corporate web sites that  
differentiate themselves from the standard format that most seem to  
use at the moment (columns of text and a few images).  It seems that  
most corporate sites, for one reason or another, are very much the  
same, both visually, structurally and in terms of the user  
experience.  They are not bad, but not particularly good either, they  
are nice, safe and secure.  This sameness opens for innovation within  
the area of user experience and I am looking out for those that  
manage this well.

More particularly, I am looking for some examples that use  
storytelling principles, or manage to achieve user engagement of a  
high standard, or which provide a particularly good user experience.

Any suggestions?
