Outdoor advertising has come a long way. It used to be that outdoor advertising meant whacking up a billboard on a major arterial road for a month and hoping that it did its job. The hope being that the consumer received the maximum take up from the message, in the quickest time possible. There are still a lot of examples like that, and I'm sure they are effective in their own way. But of late, I've noticed an increase in innovative, and creative, outdoor advertising executions that steer away from the traditional such as interactive 'scent' bus shelters, messages inviting users to SMS for an immediate response, as well as other non-traditional uses for very traditional channels.

Here's an example I found whilst browsing the web. Coop's Paints made use of the side of a building right through to the car park for this piece of work.

Coops Paint

I think you'd agree that if nothing else, it's attention grabbing! What's the most creative example of outdoor advertising that you've seen?

    This example is outstanding. I have been searching my stock to load something that will impress and so far have not been able to. Shall do so, when I do come across one.

    While I wouldn’t say PETA has a very creative method of promotion, I would say it’s very attention grabbing (nude protesting)!

    Something similar to this paint bucket advert is http://www.grand-illusions.com/opticalillusions/theatre_st_georges/ I don’t know if that’s really advertising, but I think the talk about it, word of mouth would make it ultimately an advertisement, whether they meant it to be that or not.

    That’s really ingenious. I haven’t seen something that cool, but I did once see a muffler shop whose mascot was a muffler man made solely of mufflers…
