The family friendly exhibition is designed for children aged seven and over and enlists them as ice cadets to brave a variety of challenges including facing a stinking penguin colony, coping in sub-zero temperatures and surviving a snowmobile ride.

Nintendo Wii: Wii'll not forget
E-mail Tuesday, 03 July 2007

Image

Retro video game iconic heroes have been making a come back for some time now. From T-shirts through to shoes, we have seen the likes of Mario, Donkey Kong and dare we say their rival, Sega's Sonic The Hedgehog plastering their  pixelated faces all over some funky wears.

Hot on the heels of this fad, gaming giant Nintendo have promoted their latest baby Wii in Italy with this interesting wall display created by a series of posted notes. Behind each not lies a message inviting the recipient to relive the 80's through some classic games available on Wii. The post it notes make a nice 3D representation of a 2D pixel. Cute. By Andy G

SLOW DOWN

Roadside billboard ads set out in consecutive order to deliver their message are nothing new. However when the message is as poignant as this campaign, drivers sit up and notice.

Using the old flick book art form of animation and motion the individual images create a fast moving clip to a driver speeding by them at high speeds. Quite literally, for a speeding driver life can flash by them in a split second. By Andy G

Cop Car Cut Out Stops Traffic
E-mail Monday, 26 March 2007

Image

Isbank in Turkey have created this billboard ad which has passers-by literally stopping in their tracks. From a distance one sees what appears to be a cop car hiding behind a billboard, which automatically makes the passer by slow down enough to read the small text on the board. "Pay your traffic tickets on time without waiting in line - isbank.com.tr". To ad insult to injury, it then becomes apparent that the cop car is a fake cut out. Advertising bastardry at its best.

Like a cool epidemic, hype about the cool hunter has spread globally and we're talking literally. Bright Neon stickers emblazoned with the sting "You've been Cool Hunted"¯ have been quietly circulating through the streets of London, Sydney, New York, Paris, Berlin, Toyko, Rome & L.A waiting to pounce on the coolest people, things and places.

So how does it work? Our global spotters discreetly place stickers on cars, vespas, even on individuals at certain events. In the case of people, we placed stickers on their backs, their bikes or their bags.

The response to the cool hunter buzz campaign has been huge, unleashing a word of mouth phenomenon, one person is cool hunted, they tell 2 people, who tell 4 and so on and before you know the site has generated an extra 10,000 hits per day.

Image

"I got home and discovered a cool hunter sticker on my bag", says Jessica Welsh from Soho, New York who e-mailed us to let us know she was coolhunted. "Of course I was curious to know what it was all about, so I logged on and was quite flattered that I'd been cool hunted. It's such an awesome site. I told a few of my friends who have now also become fans of the site".¯

The Cool hunter buzz campaign, the last word on word of mouth. Have you been cool hunted? Let us know.

Nothing grabs an audience's attention more effectively than a clever optical illusion. Combine that with an ingenious ad campaign and you get this brilliant mobile billboard for The Red Cross, currently gracing the streets of San Francisco.

It's photo journalism, meets Hollywood blockbuster movie poster, and it is turning plenty of heads wherever it parks itself. Enthusiastic onlookers have been snapping up photos of the mobile billboard and posting, uploading and sharing them online with friends. This is a brilliant example of how an audience can further promote the exposure of a great advertising campaign through mobile phones, blogs and sites such as flicker. By Andy G
