Waternet Queen’s Day Challenge

Amsterdam’s water supplier Waternet wanted to discourage people from urinating in the city’s canals during the national Queen’s Day holiday in April. So Waternet hired Achtung! to do a little campaign that people would be very eager to try.

Several brightly colored urinals were created and installed at various points on the Amsterdam canal. Each urinal contained 4 stalls that were connected to a digital screen that turned peeing into a race.

As a result the campaign got people to use the urinal, pee quickly and even earn their water taxes back!

Flyvertising!!!

Trust the Germans to come up with some real new age ideas…Jung von Matt an advertising agency from Germany just re-defined advertising for their client Eichborn. 😎

At the recent Frankfurt book convention they attached banners to 200 flies and set them loose to do their jobs as miniature sky ads around the convention center. Thus inventing Flyvertising or as they would call it in German…Fliegenbanner. 😆

The weight of the banner itself, attached with a string and some sticky stuff that allowed it to eventually fall off without harming the fly, was so that the fly could fly with it, but not very high and they kept landing on visitors.
