Description
Small businesses across the country have been hit especially hard from COVID-19, and in Portland, Oregon, where local businesses are a cultural pillar, hundreds of miniature billboards are popping up all over to help answer the city’s SOS: Save our Shops.
Creative agency North conceived and produced the itty bitty billboards as part of a pro bono campaign to ask Portlanders to put their money where their heart is and shop local. The miniature billboards stand 12.5 inches high and 7 inches wide. There are multiple executions including “Size Matters. Support Portland’s small businesses,” and “Keep Portland small. Support your neighborhood businesses.” North and an army of volunteers are placing these tiny billboards across the city, atop planter boxes, picnic tables and free little libraries where people would see them on their new commute: their daily walk around the neighborhood.
This professional campaign titled 'Tiny billboards' was published in United States in August, 2020. It was created for the brand: PDXSOS, by ad agency: North. This OOH Outdoor medium campaign is related to the Public Interest industry and contains 4 media assets. It was submitted over 4 years ago.
