It’s not often online banners excite. Gone are the days a banner would evoke anything other than “Will that friggin’ thing stop flashing?!” But Pittsburgh agency Brunner has created an ingeniously inventive banner campaign for Zippo which makes humorous use of the product’s primary function.

In three version, a skyscraper banner is cut in two. The top half is a fake ad. The bottom is the actual ad for Zippo. The top reacts to the bottom and then the two come together to deliver more information about the lighter. You can see the three versions here, here and here.
