Your names not down!


The Guardian newspaper promoted it’s Free CD in the Sunday paper by getting a bunch of bouncers to stamp the back of revellers hands, has each entered the Carling Academy to watch a gig.

A perfect example of 'direct targeting'. Hats off to the guys that thought of this one.

Slap stick


Flan in the face stickers, stuck on the rotating office doors all over Toronto during the 2006 Toronto Comedy Festival.

With a whole world of possibilities out there - this is little lame.

But saying that - we suffer the BBC RND every 2-3 years, which I've never found to be funny!
'Lenny Henry, Big hair, Graham (fake laugh uh uh uh) Norton'... enough said!

Bring on 'celebrity death match' Please!

Divorce Lawyer


This isn't guerrilla, It would have been guerrilla if they had been placed inside law books and books on divorse inside libraries and book shops, but it's still a clever idea!

Wish I'd thought of it - I still may!!!

The wrong job


An advertisement for a job recruiting company in Berlin and Germany. Depicting people working in the vending machines, ATMs, it delivers the message that 'Life is too short for the wrong job'.

I can't think of a worse job than writing endless amounts drivel to promote some fat cats website, while he sits his fat arse behind a big... 'Sorry Boss I'll get right on with it!'

Sucker!


Electrolux vacuum ad in the middle of Denmark.
By Y&R Denmark. Although you would probably walk right by without noticing.

I wonder how much they paid for it? You could ask 'who is the real sucker here'? sorry!

But still, it's a very clever idea!

I think Electroux also did the airoplane (break glass for demo) window sticker ad.

Lego a go go!


Building companies in Chile don`t work on weekends, so the guys at IDB-FCB decided to use the best located cranes on one most influential places of Santiago city as an ambient for Lego. The action consisted of hanging a giant fictitious Lego block from a crane.

A walk in the park


Those crafty marketeers at Shweppes utilise a fountain in fantastic guerrilla campaign.

A new campaign for Schweppes will spread through Europe this summer. The Duval Guillaume Antwerp agency plans to fit fountains with the trademark tonic's bottle, "thus illustrating in real life the sparklingness of a Schweppes".

Peeping (Miss) Tom


AXE Mens deodorant put stickers up in the male toilets and on top of urinals at night clubs.

I feel this would have worked better if the eye was looking down. That's the whole point isn't it?

Bursting Earth


Members of the BUND put globe-ballons on exhaust-pipes of cars in Berlin. The exhaust gas inflates the ballons. And after the message becomes readable, there is a big bang.
