(3D) OOH, so malty!
Created to mark the launch of Amstel in Romania, this 3D OOH campaign for Heineken turns ordinary billboards into 3D
Tappening are at it again, this time they have a campaign called start a lie where you can make up some idiotic "truth" about bottled water and pass it on to your pals. You can even download these posters where acid rain falls on playgrounds, puppies are blinded and restless legs keep you up all night - all because of that bad bad bottled water.
If they keep this up, perhaps they'll follow the footsteps of that Australian town that banned bottled water. Oh yes, they did, but they didn't bad the portable plastic bottles - you buy one of them and the town is ful of places to refill - see BBC news item... It's a bit like, gee, do you remember the good old days with water fountains everywhere, youknow, that worked? And were clean? Yeah I remember them too. Loved the twin kind, one adult height and one child height. Before they were full of grease, graffitti, chewing gum and grossness they were the place to get water when on the run.
Why the "lie" tactic? The duo behind tappening think that water cascading over pristine mountaintops on bottled water labels are lies, so they're simply leveling the playing field.
âPuffery is one thing, but some advertising is simply lies. Iâve observed that there are two types who perpetrate this: Those who admit it and those who donât,â notes Tappening co-founder, Mark DiMassimo, whose agency created the new ad campaign. Tappening partner, Eric Yaverbaum, adds, âWeâre not just admitting it up front, weâre bragging about it. We want people to know weâre blatantly lying in our new campaignâŠand, most importantly, that everyone should pay close attention to whatâs factual in marketing and whatâs â not so much.â
