Human powered vending machine

Here is a human powered vending machine created for ACTIVATE drinks in Los Angeles:



An exercise bike was attached to a vending machine and for every 30 seconds of pedaling a free bottle of ACTIVATE was released.

Scary ads

Here are a couple of frightening ads.

The first one is a traveling ambient ad for AMC's The Walking Dead:


A truck with bloody limbs coming out of the back was seen driving around at Comic Con 2011 promoting the second season of the post-apocalyptic TV show. 

The second ad is a commercial directed by Rob Zombie for Woolite:


It's hard to believe the horror-movie film directing, heavy metal playing rocker would direct a commercial for a detergent.

Summer time is for funner time

For Target's "Summer is Funner" campaign, there were a couple of installations placed in the US, including a gigantic sprinkler in Houston, Texas:


And a gigantic sandbox in Grant Park, Chicago:


These videos include time-lapse construction and when completed these summer-time exhibits look like so much fun, so much fun that it makes me forget that they use the word 'funner' in a campaign.  It's getting pretty summery-hot over here, so actually seeing close ups of people splashing in the sprinklers would have been nice.

It's HIP to have involved parents

Here is an OOH campaign for the COA Youth & Family Centers in Milwaukee to raise awareness of the positive impact parents' involvement with their child's education has with success in the classroom.  They have done it in a very cool interactive way to show it is HIP to "Get Involved Your Child's Education":





These "guerrilla" classrooms have interactive learning displays where parents could see "how many centimeters tall you are," or "solve this puzzle," or "read a story," or "learn about angles" or "find out how much you weigh on the moon" with their child. 

The campaign included a bus wrap that looked like a safari jeep stressing that parents could "learn about nature" with their child.
