Outdoor advertising, which works (Updated!)

Simple outdoor advertising, which is the usual posters on all sorts of urban advertising structures, more goes into the background, and it's not a secret. The more meaningful activities and interactive displays outdoor advertising, the luchshe.Vsyu "work" outdoor advertising can be divided into two areas. The first - when the billboard or other structure which acts itself, arranging large, medium and very small performances for the audience, that is, for the target audience. And the second - when the ads will not work if it does not help people not launch, do not play, do not just pass by in the end. In both these areas have excellent samples that are collected in this survey.

independent activity 1. Mechanical deystvieNe each carrier will take delivery of the parcel, which is clearly written "to self-destruct ..." and then the clock is ticking. Not every city will allow to place almost in the center of the billboard, which completely explode. But all of this was possible in Auckland, the capital of New Zealand, not frightened by terrorists.

Campaign «Self Destruct» definitely go down in textbooks on advertising as a good example of creating a high-profile brand-event period, based on the standard vehicle. And it all began with the fact that Deadline Couriers, Oakland forwarding company, has decided to upgrade its position in the market, to raise awareness of and traffic to the site, ie, an advertising campaign. Deadline Couriers appealed to Colenso BBDO, where the young creative duo Jamie Hitchcock and John Lancaster (Jamie Hitchcock & Josh Lancaster), probably inspired by the way advertisers know every deadline, proposed the idea of ​​freight forwarders truly explosive. Forwarders, too, are familiar with the "dead line", agreed.

And in the summer of 2007 in the center of Auckland to Nelson Street there was a single design 3 × 6 expressly promised that the evening July 22 this message will self-destruct. In addition to the concise phrases on the board are only the logo and the url of the company, as well as the electronic clock in reverse counting the seconds to the state of emergency. Hours worked only a few days, but during this time, "word of mouth" has carried the news of the impending Destro throughout New Zealand and beyond. Naturally, the appointed time to the panel on Nelson Street tightened respectable crowd, and the web site curious besieged Deadline Couriers, where with the help of cameras installed around the shield could look at the approaching deadline. Videos, photos, stories of eyewitnesses second wave went around the New Zealand and Australian blogs, a story about to blow up the shield was even shown on television. At the same time actually spent only about $ 20,000, most of which went to watch stunts and pyrotechnic safety and PR-effect produced by this small amount in the millions. Deadline Couriers is not just a few months "does not peel off" with tongue and fingers potential customers (the company is also engaged in money transfers and electronic delivery), and has acquired a reputation for knowing exactly the price of a rush order and deadline.

2. SolntseIdeya shadows cast by objects on sunny days, advertising specialists used not once, not twice, but at all "staleness" of the technology, fresh and interesting solutions in it enough. You may recall the Cannes triumph «Sundial» from McDonalds and Leo Burnett Chicago.

Two more similar to each other how to use the shadows: in advertising test-drive convertible VW Eos Convertible, which works only on sunny days, and in the advertising of chips which manufacturers care about the environment, and sometimes partially run on solar energy.





And by the way, about solar energy. It is also increasingly occurs in the advertisement is not as empty words and promises, and as one of the components.

4. PrirodaPrirodnye possibilities regarding their use in advertising has just begun to be explored and implemented. Therefore, an innovative course of Leo Burnett Chicago for the McDonald's made such an impression on the advertisers around the world.

In the outdoor advertising faces on billboards changed since the young to the old, depending on the angle at which they were looking.



2. Play a game of menyaIdealny result for interactive outdoor campaign - it's a long time to get stuck in front of a billboard or a city-format passers contemplate, and then tell about the unprecedented advertising your friends. This can be achieved, for example, create a message that is transmitted only when the "game" in his audience.

McDonald's, have repeatedly appears in this review, and there was marked by a great solution.
