It’s really wise to use advertising billboads in puplic places.They will attract more new customers.For example,when you wait for a bus at the bus top,you can look at the beautiful pictures on advertising McDonald,image a delicious meal and maybe you will want to try it immediately.I also appreciate McDonald’s Free Coffe Hourglass.It is given away free for a two week period in an effort to promote its brand.In my opinion, the way is really practical and effective.And others campaigns is also creative and attractive.All makes the success of McDonald.

Those pics were really “out-of-this-world”!!! I think the one’s that held in impact in my mind were the giant napkins… the pie billboard… and the coffee street light! Although…they were fabulous! Thx!

Very creative, but outdoor advertising is visual spam.
It ruins our cities and towns – and it’s the only form of advertising we can’t opt out of.
I’m pro marketing and advertising (it’s my business too).
But outdoor should be illegal.
Sao Paolo banned it — and the population loves it.
As the world’s largest outdoor advertiser, McDonald’s is the biggest perpetrator. Love the burgers. Hate the billboards.
