Beamvertised Skater Skids Across Holland Buildings

For Sportlife, a chewing gum that’s big in Holland, Netherlands-based Fresh Creation orchestrates a stunning promotion called “Can You Make it to the Pack?” in which a skater is beamed doing tricks across billboards, buildings and other cityscapes.

For those who lament street peace jarred by deviant boarders the beamvertised, totally heedless skater must have been especially distracting, along the lines of “Goddamnit, now they move through walls.” Must have been frustrating.

We dig the campaign and envision a world in which beamvertising becomes as much a part of city life as the lights on Times Square. Can you see it now? It would be next to impossible to drive. We’d all just walk around with that deer-in-headlights look on our faces all the time.
