Carlsberg: Bikers at the movies
Tweet
You gather 148 bikers into a cinema and leave only two seats in the middle available. This provides us with great footage of unexpecting couples who buy the tickets for these two free spots. Do they make the right choice and leave? Or is it the right choice to gather all their courage and take place between these bad boys? If they make the right one it calls for a Carlsberg.

Paddy Power World’s Largest AD
Tweet
Gambling agency Paddy Power has set a new record for outdoor advertising, building a 270 foot (82 metres) long sign on the hill overlooking Cheltenham Race Course. Locals believe that the sign on Cleeve Hill in Gloucestershire has the potential to become one of the country’s most recognised landmarks, even becoming a tourist attraction similar to its sister sign in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
The sign is 270 feet long (82 metres), 50 feet high (15 metres), almost 100 tones in total, designed and built by 60 people over three years. The sign is longer than the world’s largest free-standing billboard in Manila, Philippines (160ft), taller and bigger than the Hollywood sign (45ft by 200ft), and longer than the famous Cerne Abbas Giant in Dorset (180ft).

Volkswagen BlueMotion Roulette
Tweet
Norwegian agency Try came up with a novel way to communicate the VW Golf Bluemotion's low fuel consumption: it turned a car journey into a game of roulette.
In a promotion for the brand, it sent a Golf Bluemotion on a journey up Norway's route E6, the country's main highway linking Oslo with the North. Online, it turned the road into a 'roulette board' using Google Maps and Streetview, and invited participants to guess where the car would run out of fuel in order to win it. They only got one guess, so in order to guess correctly, they had to find out more about the car - which eventually ran out of fuel after 1,570 km.

Ariel: Fashion Shoot
Tweet
During one week, in a specially built glass box in the waiting hall of Stockholm Central Station, passers-by could watch as clothes are hung on a washing line, only to be soiled. People could log on to Ariel’s Facebook page and try to soil clothes which were hung up. Love it. I'd say this is the first cool thing I'v seen from Arial. Cudos to Saatchi & Saatchi, Stockholm.
