#3 Upside Down Billboards & Packaging Change

Upside down billboards 
Starcom and Dare Iced Coffee planned to stop traffic around the country with a playful outdoor tactic. The installers at oOh! Media posted Dare’s large-format billboards upside down for the first week. In week two, the installers will realise that their place was all over the head, and set about turning the skins the right way around during peak hour traffic.


Images of the re-installation were released to the Dare Facebook community as Dare apologises for the mistake - the installers heads were all over the place.




Label Change
The Dare Iced Coffee labels have also been redesigned for the campaign, featuring jumbled lettering. The idea reinforces the current campaign featuring jumbled headlines and aims to disrupt the shopper's usual in-store behaviour. There are five versions of the Dare pack that feature the jumbled Dare logo. 


As the distribution of the labels increased so did consumer engagement. So far the label change has started a lively debate on the brand's Facebook page, Reddit and Instragram with fans self-moderating discussions as to whether the labels were a misprint or a deliberate part of the brand's strategy.
