Absolutely great campaign of an Italian advertising agency (Admcom) for the promotion of the "Casino Di Venezia". They have turned a traditional and boring luggage claim belt into a giant roulette wheel at Venice Marco Polo Airport.

According to the Venetian Casino, visits increased by 60% since the eye catching ad appeared at the airport. It's what you get for doing an original ad, with good visibility and a good sense of humor. (Link)

The perfect opportunity to advertise about shoes! Zappos.com placed these ads in airport security bins.

Many NGO campaigns are dedicated to ending animal trafficking and the lucrative poaching business. The customs officials at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam are taking their own stab at it with their very original guerrilla campaign.

Three projected umbrellas - all made of thousands of smaller red umbrellas. When people pass them, they fly away like leaves in the wind. Very cool. And placed at a place in the airport where lots of people pass by. Everybody saw the ads. Very clever. (Link)


Produced by the TBWA\Tequila, Auckland, New Zealand, this placement used both traditional and ambient media to feature Visa's sponsorship of the Pompeii exhibit at their National Museum.

1st Bank in Denver wants everyone to know they care about small businesses. To make the point, the bank has bought rotating, backlit displays at waiting areas in Denver's airport, showcasing business cards from hundreds of business banking customers.

The strategy was based on a key insight: After traveling to the Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport and enduring a long flight, travelers welcomed a bit of calm. The idea was to create a refreshingly tranquil oasis for the weary passenger, mimicking the cool water of Beau Rivage's tropical pool. The baggage belt was transformed into a swimming pool complete with swimmers and playful slogans. The result was a total change in how people react around the hectic space of a luggage belt. (Link)


Money is no object for BMW. Check out the size of this advertisement at the Munich airport. An amazing interactive exhibit.

Munich is home of BMW headquarters so it makes sense that they would pour money into airport displays. If you can't afford the real thing, terminal 2 has a small BMW shop with T-shirts, keychains and a pedal and chain unit pushbike.
