Well this makes for an interesting media buy. We’ve all seen TV ads from the same brand run in close proximity of one another, but billboards, not so much. The River North section of Chicago is home to an affluent neighborhood and two large billboards of Clive Owen, roughly 70 feet apart from one another.

Even your garbage dreams big. Keep America Beautiful and the Ad Council launched a recycling-themed campaign where the big dreamer that yearns to see the ocean is a discarded plastic bottle.

Another ad shows dancing chickens and sweaty, muscled cooks to illustrate the fresh ingredients used daily. See it here. Camp + King created the campaign.
