Results and Effectiveness

We created a unique channel instead of conventional media like all city billboards. And in a way never been done before.

Creative Execution

First we picked a specific station. Then agreed with 20 shop owners in its neighbourhood. A meatball peddler, a florist, baker and even a dummy store… Then we redesigned all their signage to original dimensions. We renamed all of them in accordance to the station. For example; Pastry shop that’s in adjacent street to TOTAL, Filiz Café that’s to the right of TOTAL, Meatball Peddler circling near TOTAL and Auto Mechanic that’s right across TOTAL… We created a unique channel instead of conventional media like all city billboards. And in a way never been done before.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

TOTAL have 450 Oil Stations and 1 problem in Turkey: Increase the traffic to the TOTAL Oil Stations. So we created a unique outdoor campaign for increasing the traffic to our station: SIGNBOARDS! First we picked a specific station. Then agreed with 20 shop owners in its neighbourhood. A meatball peddler, a florist, baker and even a dummy store… Then we redesigned all their signage to original dimensions. We renamed all of them in accordance to the station. For example; Pastry shop that’s in adjacent street to TOTAL, Filiz Café that’s to the right of TOTAL, Meatball Peddler circling near TOTAL and Auto Mechanic that’s right across TOTAL… Because in Turkey, when people directs an adress, they direct from the well-known places in district. So we put TOTAL in the core of districts.
