…Ecko Manufacturing hires hot girls?

Ecko Manufacturing

Ecko Manufacturing doesn’t look like any sweatshop that I’ve ever seen.

Apparently, after deciding that subtlety was just not their strong suit, Ecko Manufacturing decided to launch a viral ad campaign with the tagline of “Hot Girls Make Great Clothes”.

Whether or not that’s true is still up for debate, but there’s no debating the fact that a factory filled with hot girls is definitely one way to get people to browse through your catalog.

…Dirty t-shirt wrapping helps sell detergent?

T-Shirt Detergent Ad

Here’s an interesting way to advertise a detergent: Wrap it in a t-shirt that the postal service will inevitably ruin, and then have the recipient use the product to remove the stains from the shirt packaging.

…Levi’s knows how to do viral?

Levi’s has been on a roll lately!

McDonald\'s Salad Billboard

To help promote its new health-conscious menu items, McDonald’s created a billboard that lets the message grow to speak for itself.

The board, which featured 1 ½ inch sprouts from 16 kinds of lettuce that grew into lush leaves, spelled out the words “Fresh Salads” using only plants, and sent a simple yet unique message that gets its point across nicely:

Another similar yet unique McDonald’s billboard was the breakfast sundial that used the sun to place the McDonald’s M over different breakfast items through out the day:

…You need to get out and play?

If you are among the 126 million people that have owned a Nokia 3310 cell phone at some point in their life, chances are pretty good that you’ve also played Snake on that phone as a way to pass the time.

However, you probably never played Snake like this guy:

…Sony created a Foam City?

Sony Foam City

I’m a little late to the party with this one, but if you haven’t already seen it, be sure to check out Sony’s latest ad, called Foam City.

This one follows up the paint, bunnies and balls ads, and though I think the others were better, it’s still rather impressive.
