Digestive Health: If 2020 Were a Drink

By: In:
This year has been unlike any other. Most would agree that it has not had a great taste to it. Here’ hoping that taste doesn’t linger.
Digestive Health Services (DHS) was looking for a new summer campaign. Something that would speak to our general disdain for 2020. Never ones to shy away from humor, DHS decided to turn this lemon of a year into lemon aid, err Colon Prep.
The idea was first presented by DHS and our creative team took it and created two ads with a cohesive theme. That theme being alcohol advertisements. If we’re going to speak about 2020 as a cocktail (or mocktail), why not mix it up and pay homage to the classics in look and feel.
These two ads have been running in both the Durden Digital Network and Poster Rotary System. So, go on, drink ’em in. Got another suggestion for 2020’s drink of the year? Let us know in the comments.

Beavers Heist a Five-Star Billboard in Dothan, AL

By: In:
It’s not everyday that you see a team of beavers trying to steal the show, but in Dothan, AL it is. The FAMOUSMakers are excited to partner with Brunner, an innovative advertising agency, to bring to life Great Southern Wood’s new “Woodland’s Most Wanted” campaign. Great Southern Wood, located in Abbeville, AL, has always been a staple and known nationally for their YellaWood brand pressure treated pine. The new advertising campaign is an extension of their 2018 “Five-Star Backyards” campaign, which inspires DIYers to build their dream backyard. “Through the use of non-traditional YellaWood fans, in this case, a team of beavers, we’re taking a humorous approach to establishing the desirability of YellaWood brand products,” said Chief Marketing officer James Riley. “It’s a fun and engaging way to encourage homeowners to create their own Five-Star Backyard and to demand pressure treated pine with the little Yella Tag.”

This national advertising campaign launched in March 2019 and includes billboards, print, digital, broadcast and in-store signage. For the bulletins, Brunner incorporated 2-dimensional pop outs of the beavers to give it a more realistic feel. The Team at Durden Outdoor loves working with clients and agencies to showcase award-winning creative through outdoor. If you are interested in becoming FAMOUS in the Wiregrass and would like more information on how we can include a 2-D pop out in your outdoor, give us a call today at 334-792-5056 or drop us a line at sales@durdenoutdoor.com. And remember, if it doesn’t have the yella tag, you don’t want it.

Ever Seen a Pink Bug at a Restaurant? We Hope So!

By: In:
In most cases, a bug and a restaurant do not go together. In fact, while dining out, the last thing that you would want to see is a bug….except when you are at Our Place Diner! Over the years, Our Place Diner has become a Dale County landmark. Located on Hwy 231 in Ozark, AL, the restaurant boasts an actual Volkswagen Beetle (Bug) sticking out of the ground. With oversized portions, a large menu variety and a shrimp po’ boy that won’t wait, you’ll find Our Place Diner overflowing with southern charm. Their friendly staff is always ready and willing to wait on you.

Our Place Diner selected a bulletin just north of their restaurant to encourage people to stop by and to promote their burger that was voted “Bama’s Best Burger 2018”  by the Alabama Cattleman’s Association. They have had such great response from the billboard that they are looking to add an additional billboard just south of the restaurant in the near future.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Sir Bryan’s Pharmacy Is Your Health Defender In Enterprise!

By: In: , , , ,
Sometimes to find a something new and fresh you have to look to the past. Bryan Pharmacy was ready for a campaign overhaul after their Award-Winning Ninja Campaign. We knew they wanted something epic, and nothing quite compares to the legendary tales of knights fighting monsters and saving the everyday folk. From this spark of idea came, Sir Bryan the Defender of your Health.   After the initial concept came together and our client gave their support, we were able to expand upon the idea. The knights of old defended the greatest treasures as well, none greater than the legendary Holy Grail, a symbol of purity and an icon of greatness. Bryan Pharmacy is not only a defender but a pinnacle of health care. Also, the imagery of a grail as a mortar and pestle goes hand-in-hand.   After we established the Holy Grail as a major symbol in the campaign we also circled back to the image of knight, valiantly fighting against disease, discomfort, and the high prices and wait times of big chains. We wanted the owner, Brett Bryan, to be introduced as Sir Bryan, with an illustrated portrait of him as the Health Defender. We also found we could include a sword that would stand below the billboard on the billboard’s pole. Another message that Bryan Pharmacy prides themselves in, is their competitive prices against the big chains. To fit the medieval fantasy theme, we placed the big chains as a monster to be slain by your local pharmacy defenders. Altogether, this project was a great exploration of how local businesses can become larger than life and stand strong against the onslaught of big chains and outside influence. Bryan Pharmacy has been in business since 2003, but they continue a tradition of fighting against sickness that has only grown over the centuries. Find out more about Bryan Pharmacy at their website https://www.bryanpharmacy.com/ Not only has this campaign been a great success for Bryan Pharmacy, but it has continued the legacy of ADDY wins for Durden Outdoor. This campaign was a GOLD ADDY winner as well as the 2018 JUDGE’S CHOICE winner.
