More innovative outdoor advertising

Billboard Sunscreen

Am I one of the few people who actually like advertising? Well let's be more specific, innovative advertising is something I don't mind. While I covered the winner of the Cannes Grand Prix previously, I failed to take a closer look at the other shortlisted entries. Here we spotlight one of the many Bronze award winners. By New Zealand's Clemenger BBDO, the billboard utilizes 12,148 aluminum pegs of various heights to cast shadows forming the grayscale image when the sun is out. Ingenious way to advertise Sunsense Sunscreen.

4. I too love advertising... anyway I was on the beach this labor day and the whole beach was filled with NBC "Surface" umbrellas i thought it was so cool. i mean the whole beach was completly covered with umbrellas, towels and not to mention the sky banner and the water billboard.. yes a water billboard was actually advertising a show about something mysterious in the water. I thought it was clever... good job whoever the media planner was! i mean u really took over that beach

7. Advertising is what makes the world go around! How can you not like creative, thoughtful advertising. Outdoor advertising is the next big thing....especially experiential advertising. I'm looking forward to seeing more "smart" outdoor advertising.

Thanks for the weblog.
