Moscow’s Giant Martini Billboard

Martini really gets the message across to hard drinking Russians with an enormous billboard erected in Moscow. Compare the size of the cars at the base of the sign to get a feel of how large this sign is. Incredibly, behind the sign is a building to which the sign is attached, covering most it. Maybe the building was ugly anyway? Too bad for the people inside the building wanting to look out.
Not only is Martini advertising here, but Russia’s largest gas company, Gazprom also has a huge sign on the top.

Coca Cola billboard, Beijing China

This is classic Coca-Cola advertising at it’s best. The billboard in Beijing’s Sanlitun district features Taiwanese pop group S.H.E. and two other celebrities. In the centre is Chinese gold medalist athlete superstar, Liu Xiang who won the 100 metres atthe 2004 Atlanta Olympics. Coincidently, Atlanta is also the birth place of Coca-Cola.
Notice how Coke is using a true and tried method of marketing in this billboard advertisement by associating the product with people who are desirable, fashionable, successful and sexy. Works every time!

Starving for McDonald’s, Wellington New Zealand
Portraying the image of a good corporate citizen, this is an example of McDonald’s New Zealand bus stop advertisements ”Hunger never sleeps”. A few of these were defaced with hunger crossed out and replaced with Money Never Sleeps.
