Another, yet good, guerrilla example

I came across this and thought it was a really great idea. This was a stunt that McDonalds pulled in Canada to advertise their free coffee promotion.

Even though we don't drink coffee, we can relate! They could do this for diet coke, cause i totally look like these peeps with out one every morning! -Summer Holm

  1. I like the idea, but it almost feels like they are cheating, planting fake sleepers n'all.

  2. Very interesting. I really wonder how many people noticed the poster and then saw the sleeper. Very cool idea.

  8. I think it's interesting how they planted sleepers there, but they made it look unplanned. I think that's a sign of truly effective advertising.

  10. I totally wouldn't get it if I were on the subway. Some of these guerrilla ads get more attention when people pass around the youtube video about it than it ever did in real life.
