Description of Ambient execution:
For the launch of Green Works, a 99% plant-based cleaner, we chose the biggest, dirtiest area we could find to demonstrate that the product was both environmentally friendly and that it worked better than other green cleaners. WIth the help of Green Works, reverse graffiti pioneer Paul “Moose” Curtis created a 140-foot long, eco-friendly mural of indigeous plant life at the entrance to San Francisco's Broadway Tunnel by cleaning away years’ worth of dirt and pollution. Over one year later, the mural is still visible to over 20,000+ people that pass by daily.

man times have changed and so did cannes.
Yeah !!! brilliant use of medium !!
If only it hadn't been used dozens of times...

because the medium has been use before , it doesn't mean the idea is less worthy. In that same line of thinking then, every ad ever printed on paper is tire and over done, because it has been put on white paper.
this is a ridiculous argument. you could also say "because a headline employed the english alphabet, its' been done" the idea is absolutely less worthy seeing it's been done before.
This message is not clear. It took my wife to tell me what on earth this is. I guess, maybe because I work in Photoshop and digital printing I couldn't see the forest for the trees, (ha ha)....
Maybe, if this sort of imaging went viral, with others using this product, and greenworks sponsoring various mural jobs across the country, it would be more visible..... Maybe even cross-marketing with other products.

some lifeless feeling to me...
the green work should be more colorful... even at least the green one, isn't it?
um, there's a typo in 'visable'...it's spelt VISIBLE.
