Experimental Billboards

Experimental Ads – IBM’s People for Smart Cities Ad campaign – Billboards are often overlooked and ineffective. That is, until now. Ogilvy & Mather France took billboard advertising to the next level. .

Tropicana

Billboard powered by oranges

Agency: DDB

This billboard harnesses the energy from oranges to illuminate a neon sign that reads “Natural Energy” & the Tropicana logo. Through several thousand spikes of copper and zink, wiring, and 3 months of testing, DDB made a giant multi-cell battery powerful enough to light up a billboard. Unit9 produced the custom build in collaboration with director Johnny Hardstaff who created the accompanying 90second film.

This professional campaign titled ‘Billboard powered by oranges’ was published in France in April, 2011. It was created for the brand: Tropicana, by ad agency: DDB. This Outdoor medium campaign is related to the Soft Drinks industry and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted about 12 years ago.
