Agency: TBWA/NEBOKO, Netherlands
This billboard is part of the "Beer, anyone?” campaign by TBWA/NEBOKO for Heineken in Netherlands. Here you see a huge hand that reaches from behind the fabric giving the illusion that is grasping a bottle of Heineken. The ad is surely a giant hand for Heineken who doesn't hesitate to push outdoor advertisement to a new dimension.
