Full Collection of Crazy Mini Ads
April 30, 2006
I like mini style of advertising. They meet people unexpected places and unexpected times. Sometimes minis are on the roof and sometimes on teleferic. And they are always surprising. Here i'll share some examples of mini's ads.

Minis are at the Molina ski resort (via marketing-alternative)
Guerilla parking in UK

A campaign signed Crispin To carry to the really sympathetic USA using the objects of urban furniture (via marketing-alternative)

Hi Ozgur,
Great collection of Mini ads! I also really liked the unexpected use of Google! I recently wrote about Peter Drucker’s seven sources of innovation - number one is “the unexpected” - I’m sure Google didn’t expect this!
By the way, what do you think is the common advertising idea / theme which inspired all that great Mini advertising?

That’s pretty cool.

@reynold
Thanks for your comment
I think you’re right about mini. Their common themes are to place Mini unexpected places, exaggerate its benefits and insead of using 2d billboards, they prefer to create ambient ideas

Who is the agency that designed any of the mini ads?
American or British?
