Radvertising? Warner Bros. Promotes ‘Contagion’ Film With Bacteria Billboard
Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming film, ‘Contagion,’ needed some promotion because apparently Marion Cotillard’s presence isn’t enough. So, reasonably, Warner Bros hired a couple of microbiologist and immunologists to create billboards filled with growing bacteria and fungi that would spell out promotional messages. Please save your ‘viral marketing’ comments for after class.
