EDIT: Some bad news.....the MOA just pulled The High Tide. Reason: too political. The ad exec girl was apologizing left and right, but I'm still bummed, and there's nothing I can do about it :(

The good news....the ad did run for 2 full days and thousands saw it, we're probably the first to ever run a politically charged ad like that in the history of the Mall. And even through it ran for 2 days, they're giving us a full refund. So we can use the funds for something else later.

The other good news....all billboards are staying up and the digital one starts tomorrow :)
And we made the MN press.

Please do not call the Mall and complain.

After months of work and planning this project has finally come to fruition. I can't wait to see these in person next week!

A 14'x48' billboard went up yesterday and will be up until Sept. 14th. It's the "Bridges" design. It's located near the Metrodome in MPLS, 3rd St. & Chicago Ave. Thanks to Julius from Clubhouse Jaeger for the pic of the physical board!

A massive 40'x40' billboard went up yesterday and will be up until Sept. 7th. It's the "Truth Is Treason" design. It's located downtown MPLS on top of 1st Avenue Nightclub, N 1st Ave between 8th & N 9th St. Waiting on pics, but here's the design.

A 14'x48' digital billboard will start up on the 28th and run until Sept. 3rd. It's the "Truth Is Treason" design in a different color scheme (the digital boards don't display white properly). It's right downtown MPLS, 7th St. S & Hennepin Ave. S. Holds for 8 seconds in a 1 minute rotation. Here's where it is and what it will look like. These thing look absolutely killer at night.

Our ad run started yesterday at the Mall Of America and will run until Sept. 7th. We're running the 60 second The High Tide with a new CFL ending graphic, which plays once every 8 minutes for 2 weeks on all 100 HD widescreen monitors located at each mall directory. Includes sound which can be heard from a 10' radius. Also plays on their "video wall" in the Rotunda. The MOA gets an average of 3.3 million visitors/month. GOP convention visitors fly into Bloomington, MN where the mall is located, and are expected to greatly increase mall traffic. Here's a pic of a MOA directory display with the ad comped in.

Video wall in the MOA Rotunda. Two gigantic 5'x9' digital screens provide the backdrop to the 5,000 sq. ft. mall Rotunda, visible from multiple floors of mall traffic.

We're still taking donations to help offset the cost of the project. Please DONATE if you like what you see!
