The Wine That Sold Beer

The Wine that Sold Beer

DB Export, the same brand that commissioned these hilarious grape-hating print ads, is at it again – this time with a covert ambush effort. In an attempt to save innocent beer drinkers from succumbing to the pretentious wrath of sauvignon blanc, double-agent wine bottles (from the vineyards of “Chateau Crapio”) were placed inside liquor stores, …

To promote Purina’s “Bark in the Park” event in Auckland, NZ – a day for you and your dog – these street level posters were created by Ogilvy. The big ones up top are for humanoids. The little ones are for your puppy. If that wasn’t enough, they lathered up the doggy posters with meat-scented …
