Clemenger’s Boys are braving the weather this week. The two talking testicles are out in the cold on a 7 storey high, full motion digital oOH! Media billboard in Melbourne’s Bourke Street Mall.
The Boys will react to weather conditions (naturally) via a live RSS feed. When it’s cold, they’ll shrink towards the top of the billboard and when the weather heats up they’ll descend and hang freely. They’ll also get swung about whenever the wind blows.
Clemenger BBDO Melbourne creative director, Ant Phillips, commented, “There’s a lot your boys have to go through and that includes changing climates during the day. So we designed a billboard that not only displayed the weather, but also showed men how their ‘boys’ would be affected.”
oOh! media chief executive officer, Brendon Cook, added, “While we pioneered a technology more than two years ago to serve up advertising based on average temperatures, this campaign takes it to a whole new level using live RSS feeds. Through our ability to innovate and Clemenger BBDO’s excellent creative, the campaign will drive much greater consumer engagement than previously possible.”
The interactive billboard follows last week’s release of three TVCs in The Boys campaign that launched online last year and, with limited media investment, racked up considerable earned-media attention and impressive view counts, as well as taking out a number of Campaign of the Year Awards.
More films will be released in the coming weeks.
