Bank of America and Charmin Installations

I took a wander around New York this weekend and saw some of the Christmas installations. Not strictly digital, but buzz worthy anyway.
First up was Bank of America’s Gift on Fifth. They’ve done the usual ‘let’s do a survey and release it with PR’ tactic about holiday shopping and what people look for, […]

Sony Walkman Project Posters

Whilst in London last week I got to see more of the Sony Walkman Project material dotted around the place. I saw the ad itself on TV, pretty impressive on a bigger screen. I caught OOH stuff on buses and on the Tube. Most importantly, I heard it been talked […]

Ocean Spray Cranberry tour

In time for Thanksgiving, Ocean Spray are taking a cranberry bog across America. Well, at least a big paddling pool full of cranberries and 3 cities, being New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. In each city they set up the pool for a few days, load it up with the floating cranberries and […]

28 Weeks Later QR code

I saw a great use of a (huge) QR code this morning in Iain Tait’s blog, for the launch of the 28 Weeks Later DVD. The poster is arresting in itself with the adding meaning of the code (apparently it says “It’s back on DVD September 10th”). I was happy to see […]

Run Easy

Posting has been rather light this week; I’ve been invaded by parents and kept a little busy running around doing the tourist game. One thing I have noticed, heavily pushed on the subway and outdoor placements, have been all the posters for Reebok Run Easy.
I found it interesting that none of […]

Rage Virus

Teams are out and about stirring up buzz for the follow up to Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, although this has a different cast and director. As well as the usual TV, print and posters, they are also using some outdoor postings and projections, such as putting the logo against […]

Ask on Billboards

From my previous post about a guerrilla campaign from Ask in the UK, Valleywag pointed the way towards some outdoor in California (it’s also being found across the country).
(Thanks to Lindsay for allowing me to use the picture)
What is interesting is the initial assumption that these were a reaction from Google to the UK […]

Billboards just for you from Mini

One thing that is pretty common in future films is personalised advertising that talks just to you, that knows what you like and pays you attention.

Bill Boards that you just want to eat

Billboards can be pretty boring, I’ve said that before,. But Thornton’s decided to present one with a difference - completely made of chocolate that you could eat. 860lbs of chocolate made into a 14.5ft by 9.5ft billboard in Covent Garden, it lasted all of 3 hours before being devoured. Now that’s […]
