For Fox Sake!
Join what and why? What is this all about?
You may have seen these billboards and shopping centre signs about the place recently and just wonder what it’s all about.
Well, it’s not exactly a cable TV network if you think that, but look carefully and see the “Fernwood” logo. Fernwood is in fact a chain of Australian women’s health and fitness clubs and the “For fox sake…” is all part of the “Find your inner fox” campaign.
Which marketing genius came up with this idea?

Hungry for a Big Mac at 5am in the morning? Want to grab a burger on the way home from a late night out?
Well forget it.
Read the fine print. It says only at participating drive thru stores only.
Pepsi Hits the Refresh Button
You may have noticed Pepsi has a new look recently. With that, Pepsi Australia has a new summer promotion happening right across Aussie cities along with HitRefresh billboards appearing all over the place.
On selected days, Pepsi will place these plastic “buttons” around popular parts of each city waiting to be found. Whoever finds one, wins $250 in the form of a Pepsi Refresh card. If you find a Pepsi button please don’t throw it in the bin, ok.
Google Chrome Billboard

Spotted in Birmingham, UK.
Google has recently put up these billboards promoting the Google Chrome web browser. What’s going on here? Doesn’t Chrome get enough publicity on the Google main search page.

On dear. One day you wake up to find yourself pregnant. Panic stations! But what to do? This large pro life billboard suggests you should sit back, relax and enjoy the ride rather than do something hasty. Or at least phone that number.
Poor Joseph. God was a hard act to follow.

Here’s something you wouldn’t expect to see from a church. But st matthew-in-the-city Anglican church is really pushing the envelope with this controversial Christmas billboard. But goto St Matthew’s website (see below)and you’ll find out why. St Matthew’s is a progressive Christian church and is somewhat liberal in their views, if not bordering on radical. Like they say..Don’t expect prayer groups or boring bible study groups or even a pimply faced youth group. Sunday school? Forget it. They don’t even use a capital S in st matthew!!
But what you’ll get is…Umm.. I’m not sure what to expect!

ANZ Bank Billboard Gets Done
Spotted in in Perth Australia
Aussie bank, ANZ was really asking for trouble with this recent plain looking billboard.
Shouldn’t it read like this!!:
Was that my Ad?
Spotted in Perth Australia.
The advertising agency who got the Yellowglen contract is laughing. A picture of a woman and a few bubbles. That’s it. It must be drunk by sophisticated peeple who understand such imagery.
However, if you’re still scratching your head about this sign, it seems to be for Yellowglen sparkling wines..I think.
I No bored Wellington Please

Zap Pest and Hygiene Services have put up this clever billboard. Every several days new holes are drilled into the sign giving the impression borers are hard at work by eating the sign. This will continue until eventually there is virtually nothing left of the sign. I wish we had time lapse photography of that.
Nice one bro!
Hopenhagen in Copenhagen

Spotted in Copenhagen, Denmark.
With the Copenhagen climate change conference in full swing December 7 – 18, this giant billboard was erected for the hopenhagen.org website. Be sure to sign the petition there, ok.
But the conference might be too little too late… a giant iceberg 19km long has broken off the antarctic ice shelf and is threatening to crash into the Australian coastline. But then again, maybe some beer pirates have hijacked an iceberg as part of Carlton’s ”Have you ever had a Dry Dream?” campaign.
