Stella Artois unveils ‘invisible’ billboard campaign in Seoul

What happened: Stella Artois launched a Seoul outdoor campaign with digital billboards that mimic the buildings behind them, making the screens appear transparent, to promote its Pure Gold lager, distributor Oriental Brewery said. Key numbers: Campaign runs Oct. Why it matters: A brand manager said the campaign removes elements from the ad rather than filling the billboard with visuals, leaving only the product to convey the brand message directly. Bottled products are initially limited to premium restaurants in the Seoul metropolitan area, with plans for broader distribution.
