HBO Big Love “Wall of Secrets”

Everyone has something to hide. That’s the theme for the third season of Big Love on HBO. And it’s also the idea behind new interactive murals created to promote the show by BBDO-NY. These murals, launching in New York and Los Angeles the week of January 5th, feature snapshots of people walking through a city street. Headphone jacks are built into each person’s head, so that passersby can use their headphones (or those provided by street teams) to plug in and hear each person in the mural’s inner and most personal secrets. These secrets range from the innocuous (i.e., a woman who’s in love with her boss) to the dramatic (i.e., a woman who is hiding her drinking problem from her husband or a man who is planning to leave his pregnant wife for someone else). In addition, when people plug into the headphone jack near the logo, they can hear a trailer made up from some of the most dramatic clips of the upcoming season, in which secrets abound amongst all the main characters. Big Love’s season kicks off on January 18, 2009.

Road Safety Initiative "Drunken Beetle Promotion"

The Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Housing wants to raise awareness for the dangers of driving under influence. Drivers should be approached as directly as possible but in a rather entertaining than shocking way. The long-term goal is to reduce the number of alchohol provoked accidents in Germany. A fleet of Volkswagen New Beetle is tuned with special car parts to become talk of the town: Wheel caps that looks like eyeballs play with the New Beetle's organic forms and turn it's silhouette into a human's face with drunkenly revolving eyes. The promotional cars were used mainly at public events with a high con-sume of alcoholic drinks. They made people curious for the ministry's information material handed out on these occasions. The promotion caused quite a sensation in the media. The national press reported on the events and even more important on the ministry's information campaign. As a direct result the ministry noticed an increased demand for their information literature about driving safety.

Shiner Beer "Koozies"

Heineken was the official beer sponsor of the 2008 Austin City Limits music festival. But Shiner is the local favorite. How do we keep Shiner top of mind, when we aren't allowed to advertise inside the festival? Stand outside the festival entrance and hand out free koozies. After all it's hot out and texans love keeping their beer cold with a koozie. But these koozies do more than that. Since they look exactly like a can of Shiner Bock, festivals goers look like they're drinking Shiners instead of Heineken, and they get a kick out of snubbing the corporate sponsor in favor of their beloved Shiner.

Puma "Pumus Trendycus"

They were asked to come up with a promotional idea for the launch of the Puma Spring 09 collection. Only the budget was quite limited and they wanted them to figure out a way to create a buzz about the new collection and to get as much PR as possible because they lacked the budget for advertising. They thought where better to promote the Puma 09 collection than the Zagreb Zoo. But they couldn't make it completely obvious that it was a Puma event, because they wanted a variety of press and not just a selcted fashion coverage, so in order to make it interesting and to insure a sufficient amount of Press coverage they created a new beast, a new species named: Pumus Trendycus, wich have been brought to Zagreb Zoo for the first time and gave the press the privilege to be the first to see this new beast. Once all the Press arrived, they revealed the cages with models and a famous local musician who performed from inside the cages dressed in the new Puma collection. They had invited 10 Press mebers, but the Puma Trendycus buzz brought in 30 journalists, and 3 TV stations. The event was covered in all major newspapers, fashion magazines, on 2 news channels, 1 famous tv show, and dozen of local and international blogs and forums.

If you take a close view at the Düsseldorf International Airport, you can see that the whole construction is built by what looks like giant chop sticks. Just put a massive sushi roll in between the "chop sticks" and the XXL ad is done!
