People stuck in escalators are bored. Bored people will read anything. They read their way up the escalator, and presto, they've seen the products selling point demonstrated. "Go longer between shaves"

Steve Red (President + Chief Creative Officer) and Steve Thompson (Art Director) at Red Tettemer created this campaign for http://theundergroundmuseum.org/
The guerilla marketing campaign includes vinyl "clings" – similar to signs – placed on sidewalks, monuments and elevators in Manayunk, Center City, East Falls and Old City.
One reads: "Here lies no one. What a waste of perfectly good marble. Laurel Hill Cemetery. theundergroundmuseum.org."

Russel Brand and Britney Spears ignore the elephant in the room for MTV
Backyard's Ericson Core directed MTV's latest VMA Promo that not only stars Britney Spears and this year's MTV VMA host Russell Brand, but also a 9,000 pound elephant. The spot was filmed at Paramount Studios which will also be this year's venue for the iconic MTV VMA premiering on September 7th on the MTV Network.

There were those who a few years back (me included) worried about where ad creep might take us. Here we have it folks, garbage pails as advertising space! The first person who says "Britart" wins a trip to an old Badland posting.

Our Dutch pals at SWH show off what they did to remind people that you can't just bring any old thing into the Netherlands, so they should declare. One morning they went to Shipol airport with a bunch of red suitcases, with alligator tails hanging out of them, and placed these suitcases on the luggage bands. On the suitcases there was a message: "Someting to declare? Please go to the red channel" (In dutch: "Iets aan te geven? Ga dan naar de rode balie.")
("alligator suitcase" doesn't sound half as good as "Krokodillen Koffert" by the way)

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.
