I've seen quite a few of these bus shelter ads in Montreal. To be honest, it's the first time I see real Apple marketing in Montreal. There's even the TV ads in french aired on pretty popular soap operas and programs.

I'm happy

Nice to see Apple struting their stuff.

If you drive along the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto, there is a building close by with an entire side covered in an iPod ad. It is about 10 stories high and maybe 50 to 70 feet across. Every time I see it I want to buy one. My old VISA debts must be cleared before I get one.

There is a large pink poster on the side of a buliding in downtown Toronto and the corner of Queen St. and Bathurst.

Isn't that home to the FIDO ads now? I know it's by the old Molson building there. I know they had it for quite some time. I have not been down there in about 2 weeks but I don't remember seeing an Apple ad there. I would love it if they got back their ad space there. Talk about prime space there!

Fido did take over the space on the old Molson's building after Apple, an iPod ad there would be ideal.

I took some video from the Gardiner of the original Apple ads.

they're everywhere. the streetcar/bus stations in downtown UofT campus have those coloured ads everywhere... it's cool...

i also started noticing lots more students having those white earphones... mostly the 10GB's.

They're all over. I even took some postcards from some local retailer. They did a good job with this one. Great art direction on this campaign.
