Out of Home Never Looked So Good - February
Our monthly celebration of bold creatives and clients from Aotearoa and around the world who have embraced and amplified the power of Out of Home through their attention-demanding campaigns.
We hope you enjoy the examples we’ve chosen locally and internationally, which we felt best used Out of Home static and digital formats to deliver some genuinely eye-catching campaigns. Maybe one of these will be the catalyst for your next great creative idea.
We would love to see your genius at work; send us your campaign, or enter your campaign directly into our OOHMAA Award’s - The Speccies that opens on 18th March.
BURGER KING
Aotearoa: Burger King’s Whopper Your Way campaign demonstrates how powerful large tasty looking food shots can be. Seeing visually stimulating images of food can increase the amount of the hormone ghrelin in the blood, which then makes your stomach feel hungry and grumble. The bigger, the better for creating this effect we say.

BIC
International: Who knew an ad for lighters could be so entertaining! In its latest campaign, BIC is promoting its EZ Reach Lighter range by pairing two iconic celebrities who cover all bases when it comes to lighter use: Martha Stewart and Snoop Dog.
The campaign ran in a number of countries; we’ve featured the Melbourne campaign activated by Elise Hedley Dale at Media Words and PIER Marketing, which commanded attention across Melbourne with high-impact formats, including a Station Domination at Southern Cross Station, a Tram Wrap, a Tram shelter wrap, and Digital Large and Small Format. In NZ the campaign ran predominantly across Large Format Digital Billboards.
Whether you use it to light candles like Martha Stewart or to light other things like Snoop Dog, this humorous campaign ensures BIC is top-of-mind.

BIBLE APP
North America: We couldn’t find much on who created this campaign but what we do know is the copywriter is brilliant. They've used humour to engage with an audience that potentially wouldn't have given an ad for a Bible app a second glance and gave us a giggle.
