Whybin TBWA, Sydney sent these rolling posters about to remind people that if they skip using their car half the time, they drastically reduce greenhouse gases. To lead by good example, they used bike-posters. Those beaches look great, I want to move to Oz!

Add a childs voice to a pig and the message becomes painfully clear. Agency: RazorJunior Sydney

The Campaign Palace, Sydney, does this little "TV-break" style prison break.

"RazorJunior created an advertisement for SBS's coverage of the Tour De France that is an epic 21 day endurance event for one Melbourne cyclist. Through wind, rain and sunshine, the cyclist is pedalling a racing bike connected to and powering a scrolling metrolite from 8:00am to 4:00pm, stopping only for two rest days as per the actual Tour De France event."

Yes folks,"even the ad is an endurance event."

Ward 6, Sydney, did this campaign for lifetimehealth.com.au highlighting when to use primrose oil - only when little storm centers gather above your house. Oh good, that never happens around here so I won't need to get that rubbish. ;)

Agency: Lowe, Sydney generated noise around low-interest football match by creating a Ghanaian fan club who ran around searching for the missing H in Ghana.

....And with this little reminder about personal grooming, I'll bid you a great Friday and head for the beach.

Germophobia was never this creepy.... Look at those arms, ew, ew, EW! *wipes brain with bleach*

Here's an interesting twist, in order to sell travel, they sold beans. Strategic agency The Hallway teamed up with creative agency Happy Soldiers to promote Zuji travel site. The main positioning for Zuji is "a company that is ‘Helping holidays happen’" so they set out to prove it, by way of cheap beans.

Logic is, that by saving money on everyday items, you can save up some dosh for a getaway trip somewhere fun. To kickoff the campaign, Hallway/Happy Soldiers created "Zuji baked beans" and sold them for just 10c a can. They even opened a few Zuji Bean Shops in Australia’s major cities and set up Zuji Beans stalls all around the country, selling nothing but cheap Zuji Beans. There was also print, outdoor, radio, DM and online ads to let people know about the beans = save for travels connection.

"Everywhere's a catwalk" oh that's just perfect isn't it? I'm not leaving the house until someone invents a non-stinky and permanent way of removing hair off my legs, where I won't have to waste six minutes of every day with gobs of icky stinky cream that doesn't do much but irritate my skin. Gosh, sorry, I just hate veet.

Remember the spoof of "where the bloody hell are you?" campaign a few years back? Since then Daniel Ilic has teamed up with GetUp! to mock the goverment once again, and sprinkle some F-bombs in, he explains:
"Here's my latest. It attacks a government initiative to lock in fuel prices for the next coming day and display them on a website to give consumers a better deal on fuel prices. This of course is a waste of time, because as the world runs out of oil the prices will continue to climb."

During the day, punters only saw half of the yellow arch and some mirrored text, it wasn't until the dark at night when the adshel lit up that the message "open all night" became clear.
