Terminix: The Living Cockroach Poster

Terminix did a really good ambient advertising campaign where they put live cockroaches on a billboard and informed people walking by of the dangers cockroaches can bring to your home. The billboard featured 5,000 live cockroaches and every 15 minutes the billboard had to turn towards the shade for the roaches not be burnt by the sun. This is a great campaign because it made people walking by stop and ask questions. It also helped to have an individual who could answer questions, inform the audience and hopefully make a conversion.
