You may find this advertising initiative a bit creepy, innovative or both, depending on how your feel about headless mannequins floating outside your high-rise office window.
Camisaria Colombo, a famous Brazilian shirt store wanted to advertise their Black Friday deals to businessmen who don’t have time to leave their offices.
Sao Paulo agency Salles Chemistri had the answer: replace the heads of lightweight mannequins with helicopter drones and fly them up to the windows of office buildings in the city’s business district.

The 2014 Bumbershoot Music & Arts Festival is less than a month a way, and to remind local Seattleites about the event, ad agency Publicis leveraged one of the things that the city has in abundance; rain.
While Seattle doesn’t rank highest in the amount of annual rainfall, it does rank in the top 5 in the US for cloudy days.
The agency used stencils and a spray system called NeverWet to create a message that repelled water. When the sidewalk was dry the message was invisible, but when it rained the message was revealed against the wet sidewalk around it.
