Smart fortwo coupe: City cement trucks
To visually demonstrate the smart's smallest turning radius, city cement trucks will be transformed into naturally rotating mobile billboards with a smart fortwo coupe on their spinning cement drums. To minimize the environmental footprint, the branded trucks will drive along already established routes (construction sites) which will pass through some of the city's highly-trafficked areas.

There is a much "smarter" way to dramatize the turning radius: http://media.adc.de/gewinner/15/terminal/media/00063473.jpg
Well, that's very smart too - I like both, very much :) if one idea is perhaps bit better that doesn't make the other idea bad. You make it sound like that.

Nice but already done. Vedett, a Belgian Beer from the same brewery as Duvel, did this many years ago. Thay made and XXL beer bottle from the cement trucks (complete with shopped foam from spinning the bottle). And later they created a webbased game with these trucks on their site.
In fact, I like vedetts marketing strategy. They kept their wooden crates pretty long. And when thay changed to plastic crates, it became a luxe crate with soft rubber handles. They also printed unfamous models on the backlabel. This generated lots of buzz, and now you can order a complete crate with your uploade pic on all 24 bottles.

That's not the same. That's a bit like saying every print ad was been done before "since it's been printed on paper".

Really? There has to be better ways to go about showing the benefit of this product..
Any truck working on a job site is going to get covered in dirt/mud/snow/cement, plus the back doesn't spin unless it's dumping cement so you're driving a truck around without showing off your dirt covered message?
... k
it´s well done but i think it will only work here. I´m agree with helmet chrome
Scam. And not even good scam.

The creative bar was set when they did the Kryptonite lock ambient. Sadly, this ad pales in comparison.

agreed, i love this outdoor too
It's surely a surprising medium, but frankly speaking I doubt that the "audience" would grasp that it's about turning radius.
