The Brief

To promote the GD510, LG's solar powered mobile phone.

Creative Execution

The ad proved that the free and clean energy of the sun is a viable and reliable alternative to conventional electricity. And more importantly, it gave all mobile phone users a first-hand experience of owning a solar powered phone like the GD510.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

We created a special transit ad, with eight charging pods for eight different mobile phone brands, that is powered by a solar panel.

Results

In the first week alone, more than 1,500 phone users came to recharge their phones. It was a huge success that the client has decided to invest in over 100 transit ads around the country.
