Interesting aside. Place: Abu Dhabi. Agency: Team, Young & Rubicam. Campaign: Keep the city clean. Ambient/Guerrilla idea: Improv skits/fights/arguments breaking out between groups of 'litterers' and 'activists' planted at the site to attract people's attention to the problem. Result: Summarily rejected. The key is getting clients to buy into such things. I think the biggest problem in advertising in less advanced advertising markets like the Middle East and India is people who can sell fresh ideas.
