PRESS RELEASE

The pro-bono clients in this campaign were all technology companies, with a sector focus on the endangered and much maligned "dot-coms". Billboards in the target sector were graphically enhanced by the addition of large-format warning labels, in the style of a standard computer error message, bearing the bold copy: "FATAL ERROR - Invalid Stock Value Abort/Retry/Fail".
