If I had a digital camera with me…

January 12, 2007

I’d be taking pictures of these advertisements in San Francisco.

The MINI Cooper billboard with the electronic readerboard above a picture of the car.  It’s just before the Bay Bridge entrance eastbound.  Turns out that they are made to display messages to actual MINI owners who are driving by.  Slick.

I also like the Scion billboards I’ve been seeing around town.  The one I like right now features a picture of a car 90% of us would find entirely ugly, and the copy reads “%#!@ THE JONESES.”  I may not like those cars, but there are a lot of people who do and I am sure they appreciate that billboard.

Lastly, there was a Chevron billboard just off the 9th street / Civic Center exit.  It was well placed directly behind a Shell station.  It reminded me not to buy inferior gas.  Nice media buy.
