Oberlander, who claims to be in the reinvention business, not the advertising business, has worked on numerous impressive advertising campaigns, including Snapple, Intel, Target, Nikon and Motorola, among others.
Sooyoung Jeon and Rina Joonwon Lee decided they wanted to place an outside print advertisement somewhere business people pass everyday. They explained their thought process in the credits & commentary section of the New Talent Annual 2014:
Business people are busy and they don’t have time to look at ads and read the message on the street, so we tried to be [as] simple as possible so that people can quickly understand the message. We created two simple billboards that show how the product works by using its surrounding. We made the billboard’s pole a giant Scotch Lint roller to catch people’s eye, then used each side as to sow before and after.
Oberlander and his team received a Gold award in Advertising Annual 2007 for “Kate,”‘ an advertisement for Nikon. To view more of Oberlander’s work, check out his website. To check out more work by Jeon, click here. To view more work by Lee, click here.
