NO AD New York: Killing Off Outdoor Advertising

NO AD New York: Killing Off Outdoor Advertising

By Dan Gould on February 1, 2011

Inspired by Sao Paulo’s elimination of all outdoor ads, director Morgan Spurlock teamed up with The Barbarian Group to kick off a campaign to kill off similar ads in New York City.

An interactive website promoting the venture allows users to virtually strip ads out of Times Square, the “belly of the beast” when it comes to garish outdoor advertising.

Do you think this will have an effect, or is this just a great PR stunt?
