The office building of the Dutch advertising agency Doom & Dickson is getting renovated, during these works a strange message was sent into the world. Funny thing is the fact that Jack Doom and Bill Dickson never existed; they are made up personalities. These supposedly founders of the advertising agency even have their own book and website. Fantastic branding we say.

More then 100,000 bees swarmed together to form the world’s first live bee-board ever. “Save Our Swarm” was created in Devon by Banrock Station Wines in support of the Co-operative’s Plan Bee Campaign.
Money from the sale of every bottle of special edition wine will go to help preserve Britain’s dwindling bee population.

The concept of combining a billboard and the sun has been done several times, remember this one? But in this case the effect created is extremely good. The model changes from having blonde hair into black in just a couple of hours.
YMCA Twin Cities promoted their fitness programs by organizing a ‘fatpants’ drive. A fatpants is a pair of pants in which the wearer can feel comfortable without worrying about how he/she looks. In YMCA lobbies donation boxes were placed, as members lost weight, they were encouraged to donate their fatpants. As donated pants came in they were added to the outdoor boards to demonstrate the success of the weight loss programs. In just a few months, thousands of pants were collected and donated to the local Salvation Army.
Talk about a good visual illustration, this one definitely nails it. At least this is a billboard that will catch the drivers’ attention. The matching slogan says: ‘Tailgating Isn’t Worth It. Give Trucks Room. It’s The Law.’ So if you don’t want to end up like the billboard you will keep your distance.

Mini created this billboard to promote their new Countryman in Milan, Italy. The rather humorous thing about this is that they created a fake billboard on the other side with surfboard in order to make the ad work. We have never heard of Malamalama. Thank you Selectism for the picture!
The space in between these two billboards fits a tinny advertisement that perfectly fits an ad for Smart. The small car is good in finding a spot where no other car could possibly park. The tag line that goes along is: “Fits everywhere”.

We do remember the “We care about small businesses” campaign made for 1st Bank. This time they used the same medium with a different message. This ad will tire out children if they put their hands on the rotating billboard. This comes in handy for the parents who take their children with them on the airplane. 1st Bank is there to help.
Today we came across this advertisement promoting a medicine that gets ride of splitting headaches. In 1998 advertising agency Maccann-Erickson made a similar ad for Nurofen 400, to whom we want to give full credits.
This billboard for the BMW dealership in Bridgeport appeared in 2006. They repeated this stunt in 2007 again when this BMW dealership was voted the best of the USA, this time the dummy is wearing a big foam hand. Apparently BMW ordered a bunch more of these funny billboards from the agency VogtGoldstein.
