TTs Invade Toronto – Try Not to Panic

giant_ts.jpeg

For the new Audi TT, Lowe Roche, Toronto decided to leverage what we’re going to call Boston Syndrome and invade a town with unexplained symbology: giant TTs. Note crop circles. Note video (which is actually quite gorgeous and pleasant).

Orwell would have a blast in ’07.

Our only major critique of these sorts of campaigns is that unless you’re blowing minds with your guerilla efforts, it might be asking much to assume your consumer is going out of his or her way to pursue an understanding about why TT’s are suddenly appearing all over the place.

Out of resentment, they might even go out of their way not to.

And to be fair, corporate art (which also proliferates every corner) is so crappy they might not even register the significance of the TT’s, unless they wander mistakenly into a cornfield over lunchtime and stumble across a crop circle.
