Ambient & Guerrilla

KNGF Guidedogs - Sunglasses / blackout - ambient, The Netherlands

To let people experience the total darkness that is to be a bliind person, UbachsWisbrun JWT, Amsterdam inserted some perfectly fashionable but utterly unfunctional sunglasses into sponsor SpecSavers' racks of trendy sunglasses. When people out shopping for sunglasses tried them on, they couldn't see anything and the pricetag' explained SpecSavers' sponsorhsip of KNGF Guidedogs. This ambient promo is running in all 80 Specsavers stores in The Netherlands.

Greenpeace - Squirrel - print, Romania

Scala JWT, Bucharest are back again with another ad promoting the use of energy saving economic light bulbs (their previous light bulb bugs are seen here). Being kind to the animals on the planet is a nice idea, but will that alone change peoples habits?
My man has been stockpiling and sneakily replacing all bulbs in the house with economic light bulbs for years - and not because he's an animal loving hippie or worries that much about his carbon footprint. Nope. He's doing it because he's a cheap lazy guy who wants smaller bills and less changing of all the hard to reach light bulbs in our super-high ceilings. Just once, I'd like to see a campaign appeal to guys like him, showing dusty ladders and tiny electric bills.

Since he's in control of the bulbs in the house, we've already changed - but if you wanted to make me do it all you'd have to do is create an economical bulb that had the right color light. Us insomniac artist get right picky with the color of light and the only room in the house with old fashioned bulbs is my office. Yes I'm bad. Spank me.

Sky TV - Tadpoles / Knocked up - ambient billboard, New Zealand

DDB New Zealand went all out when promoting the film "knocked up" to air on Sky. First, creative team Christie Cooper and James Conner collected tadpoles, lots and lots of them. Then they converted a poster-stand into a fish tank. They put a model of an unfertilized egg in the center of the tank, and filled it with fish food that the tadpoles would naturally want. They hung the complete installation in a shopping mall. Super adgrunts can also see a film of the fish-tank build and end result inside.
