Outdoor Stunt by Goodyear

Lovely concept, but I think there’s something lost in translation in this outdoor campaign for Goodyear. The sign says:

(front) “Your vehicle has been towed. Call 0800 081-8181.”
(back) “For sticking on the roads.” [link]

FedEx Kinko’s Advertisement

When coming up with an ad campaign for FedEx Kinko’s, the innovative minds at advertising agency BBDO were inspired by the streets of New York. The agency installed oversized bottles of correction fluid, highlighters, and, in one case, an office lamp, on the city’s busy thoroughfares for a couple of days earlier this year. [link]

Peta Advertisement

The action is named ‘None of us would like to end up like this.. neither would other-than-human animals’ and it was done with four big foam trays, each of them containing a naked activist inside, and covered with a see-through plastic with a ‘Human meat’ sticker on it. The idea was to imitate the ‘meat’ trays we can find at the supermarkets and to show that we are also animals, just as other-than-human animals, we neither would like to end up there. [link]

BIC Razor Advertisement

Bic developed this creative outdoor advertisement for their razors. The billboard is blank except for a small logo, but without it the advertisement might be missed and it acts as a good backdrop for the giant razor and cut grass. The only draw back is the constant trimming of the lawn. [link]

A small detail about the coffe cup on the top of a building in Caracas.
Neither the Pepsi ball in the adjacent building nor the coffe cup are inflatables. Both structures are permanent

On the tire add, the real meaning really was lost in translation. “Para”, in portuguese, is often translated as “For”, but in this particular case, the translation misses the point.
The translation leads the reader into thinking that the car was towed because it was stuck on the road, but upon reading the add in portuguese, it says that the tires remained on site because they were somehow “glued” to the road.
The statement “For sticking on the road” really means “[In order to] stick on the road” or “[If you want to] stick on the road”.
To give the meaning “For sticking on the road”, as stated on the translation, the phrase should be “Por ter grudado na pista”, in portuguese.
