OOH — brilliant.

Let’s face it, driving on the thruway can get pretty dull and, for the most part, your brain is on autopilot. That’s where unique outdoor advertising can spice things up a bit.

Imagine driving down a typical stretch of highway and seeing what appears to be a giant Hot Wheels loop-the-loop in the distance. You blink twice, rub your eyes, and it is still there. Once you register that you are not, in fact, hallucinating or having a medical issue, sweet childhood nostalgia rolls in. Surely regardless of your age or gender, a smile lights up your face and a warm connection is made. In those few seconds, you connect a brand, Hot Wheels, with your beloved, carefree youth and voila, you have a branded experience. That is what it is all about, kids!

If super cool out-of-home advertising is your thing, check out one of my favorite of CW’s work. I was in diapers when it was out in the world, but it still resonates as awesome. Hey, it’s our blog and we’ll brag if we want to!
