THE CHALLENGE


The objective was to turn Yellow Pages' Internet site (d.co.il)


to the web's number 1 solution for finding businesses.




THE CREATIVE SOLUTION – AN INNOVATIVE MEDIA STRATEGY


To do this, we developed a unique media strategy: We decided to turn the whole city into a live demonstration of search categories, creatively bringing them to life.




In order to achieve such a surprising effect so many times in a row, we had to break the boundaries of outdoor media.So we created an innovative customized solution, for every billboard and poster.


Each piece of work highlighted the features of specific search categories in an outstanding creative way.




For “Chiropractors” we innovated the standard bus-stop media and hung posters on the ceiling of bus stops


For "Pizzerias" we built a triangular billboard, shaped like a pizza slice


For "Electricians" we created a billboard with real electricity problems.



etc.







THE RESULT


The campaign, which had many different executions, immediately became the talk of the town!


It generated a 40% increase in unique users.


The Yellow Pages website was selected as one of the top 10 websites in Israel!
