Advertising idea in Russia

advertises a Russian fantasy film “Day Watch”. In the daytime it looks more like a common poster. But at night the dark figures become very well seen.

This is one of the most successful teasers of Russia. At first there was only one inscription on the billboard which said “Hijacked?”. Once everybody was intrigued, there appeared another one “You should have put the Clifford car alarm”.

One more example of unusual outdoor ads. The billboard is combined with the device spraying water. The characters of the ad, young rogues, shamelessly douse visitors of the park with water.

The billboard advertising the Calve ketchup.

And this billboard performs 2 functions at once. It advertises the tools of the company and makes a not very beautiful wall look as a part of the billboard.

Some creative billboards of one Italian restaurant.

The ad of some online store of cosmetics. “Remedies for tired legs”.

Sun blocks.

A very creative ad of the Milka chocolate accompanied by the slogan: “Milka. One piece – and you are in the Alpine world. “

The Alpen Gold chocolate too used such kind of advertisements later.

And this is an advertising campaign dedicated to clean streets. “The family of two cans wants to rent a garbage can. Cleanness is guaranteed.” “Garbage has home”. “Don’t care?”

“Help, mate”.

“Throw to the urn”.
