To promote IKEA&#8217;s new Greenwich store \u2013\u00a0 the most sustainable IKEA ever \u2013 the ad agency devised a campaign aimed at highlighting the store&#8217;s eco-friendly credentials. Billboards and posters all over London directed would-be shoppers to the new store, encouraging them to take the most eco-friendly route (on foot, or by public transport).<\/p>\n<h3>02. Rust<\/h3>\n<figure>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" name=\"\" alt=\"billboard advertising: Heimat\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.taterboy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/gVnn5YGEPVMTzgzpAqXKS3.jpg?w=900\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\"><\/p><figcaption>\n<p>This billboard transformed over the course of a month<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This billboard by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heimat.wien\/#heimat\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Heimat<\/a> transformed over time to show off Tyrolit&#8217;s Iceline knife range&#8217;s USP. Initially, passers-by were faced with a mysterious sheet of metal, bearing only the brand&#8217;s logo. In a matter of a few weeks, the surface became covered with rust, leaving only the shape of a knife untarnished. The tagline: Flawless. Forever. drove home the message.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>03. Wave of Waste<\/h3>\n<figure>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" name=\"\" alt=\"Billboard advertising: Wave of Waste\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.taterboy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/XuPBDYk5pLRisJiRzhZdTX.jpeg?w=900\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\"><\/p><figcaption>\n<p>The plastic for this sculpture was all collected in the UK<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To mark World Oceans day in 2018, Corona worked with Wieden + Kennedy on this sobering billboard advertising campaign. Artist Andy Billett created a 3D &#8216;wave&#8217; from plastic waste collected in the UK, which combined with an image of Chris Hemsworth surfing to emphasise the volume of plastic ending up in our oceans. The public was encouraged to drop off their own waste at the site. Similar campaigns were run in Melbourne, Lima, Santiago, Bogota and Santo Domingo.<\/p>\n<h3>04.

But it&#8217;s hard to fault this Belgian campaign to get people viewing on BeTV; Brussels agency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.happiness-brussels.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Happiness<\/a> built ugly breeze block walls in front of Mexican restaurants, complete with razor wire, and used them as billboards to advertise the show.

Follow the Arches<\/h3>\n<figure>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" name=\"\" alt=\"Billboard advertising: Follow the Arches\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.taterboy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/oxruAZewVvTmnBnSeQ748a.jpg?w=900\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\"><\/p><figcaption>\n<p>Now this is how you abuse a logo effectively<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It takes a lot of chutzpah to mess with a logo, but that&#8217;s what Toronto agency <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cossette.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Cossette<\/a>, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/spencerandjordan.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Spencer &#038; Jordan<\/a>, did for this McDonald&#8217;s campaign. For the award-winning Follow the Arches campaign, the team deconstructed the iconic golden arches and transformed them into minimal directional billboards to help steer drivers to the nearest branch of McDonald&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<h3>06. Reebok ZPump 2.0<\/h3>\n<p>Swedish agency <a href=\"http:\/\/animal.cc\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Animal<\/a> came up with an impressive way of drumming up publicity for Reebok&#8217;s new running shoes: it set up an outdoor billboard in central Stockholm, challenging people to a human speed test. Anyone who ran past the billboard faster than 17 km\/h unlocked a brand new pair of ZPump 2.0 shoes.<\/p>\n<p>The billboard used a speed camera developed specifically for this campaign, which used realtime object recognition and motion detection to identify runner&#8217;s movements and calculate their pace, to great effect.<\/p>\n<h3>07. Coca-Cola: The Sign<\/h3>\n<figure>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" name=\"\" alt=\"Billboard advertising: Coca-Cola\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.taterboy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/T7bCCHtUYcNs5eq5DyaybE.jpg?w=900\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\"><\/p><figcaption>\n<p>This way to recycle your bottle<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This billboard advertising <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creativebloq.com\/news\/coca-cola-billboards\" target=\"_blank\">campaign from Publicis Italia<\/a> encouraged Coca-Cola drinkers to recycle their empty bottles. The agency cleverly adapted Cola&#8217;s iconic ribbon design to literally point passers-by to the nearest recycling bin. There was some controversy surrounding the ads, however, with critics commenting that Coca-Cola was doing too little to offset the massive environmental impact of its products.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>08. AIR-INK<\/h3>\n<figure>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" name=\"\" alt=\"Billboard advertising: AIR-INK\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.taterboy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/frb7Cr7YSRqBnAjgupx4JG.jpg?w=900\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\"><\/p><figcaption>\n<p>This billboard ad is painted with ink made from exhaust fumes<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Launched via a successful Kickstarter campaign from Graviky Labs, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.graviky.com\/air-inktrade.html\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">AIR-INK<\/a> is an innovative ink made from air pollution. A device captures particles of black soot from car exhaust fumes and chimney smoke, which is then processed and transformed into safe, top-quality ink.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To promote the project, the team roped in illustrator <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kristopherh.com\/2017\/08\/tiger-air-ink-london\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Kristopher Ho <\/a>\u00a0to paint a huge billboard for London&#8217;s Shaftesbury Avenue, effectively &#8216;recycling&#8217; the pollution into artwork. To make the scale of the undertaking clear, and intrigue passers-by, the billboard has a simple slogan: &#8216;This art is painted with air pollution&#8217;.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>09. McDrive<\/h3>\n<p>Taking advantage of the fact that in its client, McDonald&#8217;s, operates a lot more drive-through restaurants in France (known as McDrives over there, because France) than its main competitor, Burger King, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tbwa-paris.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TBWAParis<\/a> set up this cheeky pair of billboards near Brioude in the Haute-Loire. The ludicrously tall one gives directions to the nearest Burger King drive-through, 258km away, while the little one points drivers to a much, much closer McDrive. Formidable!<\/p>\n<h3>10. The Human Billboard<\/h3>\n<p>When extreme right-wing party Le Front National won the first round of the 2017 French presidential election, the country saw a rise in racist rhetoric. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leoburnett.fr\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Leo Burnett France <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/le-cran.fr\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Le CRAN<\/a> (Le Conseil Representatif des Associations Noires) used a different type of billboard to remind the French people the lasting damage racist language can have.<\/p>\n<p>Racist insults were collected via social media, and tattooed onto the body of a man to turn him into a &#8216;human billboard&#8217;. The man then walked around Paris distributing leaflets explaining the campaign and encouraging people to join the conversation.<\/p>\n<h3>11.

IBM<\/h3>\n<p>As part of IBM&#8217;s Smarter Cities initiative, ad agency <a href=\"http:\/\/ogilvyparis.fr\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Ogilvy &#038; Mather Group<\/a><br \/>\n(now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creativebloq.com\/news\/advertising-giant-ogilvy-rebrands-and-restructures\" target=\"_blank\">Ogilvy<\/a>) designed &#8220;ads with a purpose&#8221;, adding a curve to the billboard to create a rain shelter, bench and even a convenient ramp while promoting the technology brand \u2013 because &#8220;if cities were smarter, life in cities would be better&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The billboards seamlessly blend modern design with functionality to help people while they remind them who is behind the act of generosity \u2013 it&#8217;s a clever way to sell.<\/p>\n<h3>14. Burt&#8217;s Bees<\/h3>\n<p>To promote its Intense Hydration range, Burt&#8217;s Bees used its own consumers to reveal a before and after demonstration with an interactive billboard in Minneapolis, created with the company&#8217;s go-to ad agency, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baldwinand.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Baldwin&#038;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This clever use of design and construction meant that the &#8216;before&#8217; image literally &#8216;flaked&#8217; away as viewers peeled off the skin of coupons attached to the board, redeemable at local stockists. Eventually, all the coupons were removed and all that was left was a shiny, flat surface and a happy, smiling &#8216;hydrated&#8217; &#8216;after&#8217; image.<\/p>\n<h3>15.

These billboards designed by the team at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.advico.ch\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Advico Young &#038; Rubicam<\/a> in Switzerland display exactly how simplicity can often be the most creative and impactful form of design. Each billboard is a zoomed in image (presumably 12X and taken by a Leica V-Lux 1 camera) of the object behind it, displaying the camera&#8217;s superior zoom quality that doesn&#8217;t miss a detail.<\/p>\n<h3>17. OBI<\/h3>\n<p>DIY chain store <a href=\"http:\/\/obi.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">OBI<\/a> decided to do something different by placing its billboards not in the usual places but on people&#8217;s homes themselves. Its thinking was based on the question: Why promote things that make our homes more beautiful, with advertising that makes everything look uglier?<\/p>\n<p>Instead, with the help of advertising agency <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jvm.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Jung Von Matt\/Elbe<\/a>, it came up with something much more imaginative and attention-grabbing. &#8220;The big challenge was the search for appropriate run-down houses,&#8221; Jung Von Matt\/Elbe&#8217;s Max Pilwat explains.<\/p>\n<h3>18.

Highlighting the price differences on the cusp of each country, the advert showcases how much cheaper the Big Mac is in Sweden.<\/p>\n<h3>19. British Airways<\/h3>\n<p>This design from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishairways.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">British Airways<\/a> certainly got our attention. Designed by the Ogilvy, the company uses surveillance technology to track flights \u2013 allowing a child to point to the overhead flights in real time. BA head of marketing Abigail Comber explains, &#8220;This is a first, not just for British Airways but for UK advertising.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Channelling that childlike excitement of seeing your first ever aeroplane, the billboard is a marvellous example of interactive design. The billboards were showcased in London\u2019s Piccadilly Circus and Chiswick.<\/p>\n<h3>20.

Orphea<\/h3>\n<p>Orphea4D Protection is a powerful insecticide spray for exteriors. This brilliant campaign promotes the brand by transforming a normal billboard into a huge insect trap.

The imagery, taken from events around the world, is enough to grab your attention alone. But the BBDO team cleverly used corner billboards to show different takes on the same situation. It&#8217;s simple but very effective.<\/p>\n<h3>30.

The cool billboard design features Uma Thurman, her priceless Hatorri Hanzo and an impressive wall spatter of blood.<\/p>\n<p>The installation was erected at a busy Auckland intersection to promote a local channel&#8217;s screening of the movie. If anyone was in doubt as to what the film entailed, Saatchi &#038; Saatchi made it crystal clear with this design.<\/p>\n<h3>31. Miele vacuum cleaner<\/h3>\n<p>In order to promote the power of the Miele S8 monster suction vacuum cleaner, Bratislava-based adverting agency <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mayer.sk\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Mayer McCann Erickson<\/a> placed this brilliant billboard design over a well-known tunnel. The agency then filmed traffic over a period of time, resulting in this video that gives the impression of various vehicles being sucked into the vacuum hose.<\/p>\n<h3>32.

The &#8216;less is more&#8217; idea features a giant lightbulb popping out of the centre of a red background, the only words reading &#8216;The Economist&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Using electronic motion sensors, the bulb lit up every time someone walked underneath it, which is a brilliant, effective way to get the message across.<\/p>\n<h3>33.

The innovative design features a woman&#8217;s hair die-cut in the billboard to capture the variations of Koleston Naturals&#8217; colours through the different phases of the day and night.

The team was approached by South Auckland local government bodies with a brief to create a design that would lower the number of fatal accidents on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Noticing that accidents had increased during a particularly wet Easter, the road safety team put up this billboard that &#8216;bleeds&#8217; when it rains. The message? &#8216;Rain changes everything. Drive to the conditions.&#8217; If that harrowing image doesn&#8217;t make people slow down, we don&#8217;t know what will.<\/p>\n<h3>35.
