Josh, read up on copyright law. In many cases once you post something in a public forum it has a certain degree of copyright protection. That lasts for quite some time. So Chloe's idea is a decent one.
There's a flip side though. Why don't we use the same advertisements today that we used just 5 years ago? Partly because the shock value of new advertisements causes us to pay more attention to them. This means that if you post the ad on a social media site then its value will decline based upon the number of people who have been exposed to it.
If you want to demonstrate the ads value then posting it makes sense. If you want to maximize its effectiveness once employed then you should consider having a contract in place that protects your rights. NDA's are used for patents and probably exist for content as well.
