Creative With Adwords

18 Jan 2008

One of the leading car rental companies in Europe is Sixt. In Germany or Switzerland, and more recently at Schiphol airport in The Netherlands as well, I saw their brand gain traction and become more present. They always find cool ways to do offline marketing stunts, as I have previously covered a few times [hanging car, don't forget]. But also in the online market, they have found ways to be remarkable when they experimented with a new way to make their Google Adwords ads stand out from the crowd.

Adwords

Pretty clever.

Thanks for the pointer, Paul.

    Miel,

    I think those ads were a hoax, as Google Adwords has specific constraints on punctuation etc. Yet SIXT has managed to make the world talk about it, so I suppose this is good, right? :-)

    It’s really clever. Unfortunately it’s also not allowed!

    It’ll only be a matter of time before Google finds out, especially with the coverage they’ve had on various blogs.

    It’s also this attention that makes sure they won’t have to be too sad about having these ads banned.

    I WILL NEVER BUY EXIT URBAN SHOES. THIS AD PROMOTES ANIMAL ABUSE. IF YOUR INTENTION WAS TO DRIVE CUSTOMERS AWAY, THEN GREAT JOB. I WOULD GO BAREFOOT, AND TELL MY FRIENDS NOT TO BUY THESE SICK SHOES!

    This is not allowed in the US, but yes in Europe. At least it was a while ago when I was there.
