The Outdoor Media Association’s latest 'Best of Outdoor', a monthly selection of local and international Out of Home (OOH) advertising, includes RSL Remembrance Day ads and a UK campaign highlighting unsung climate heroes. Also: “Calm Your Inner Karen.”
Remember to remember
Australia: RSL Queensland's partnership with the OMA saw a meaningful takeover of digital signs across Australia on Remembrance Day. For one minute at 11:00am on 11 November, OMA member networks called on the public to honour those who served and sacrificed in all wars and conflicts – with the message 'Remember to Remember’.
Creative: RSL Queensland.

Everyday climate heroes
UK: Sustainability-focused non-profit Futerra Solutions Union teamed up with celebrated UK photographer Rankin. The campaign aims to “change the face of climate action in the UK, breaking through the stereotypes of only politicians and activists having a media profile, when so many of us are making a difference every day.”
The 10 Everyday Climate Heroes identified by the Futerra Solutions Union and shot by Rankin range from a former coal miner to a farmer; from scientists to teachers, community volunteers, a factory worker and a waitress. "Each brings a message of hope underlined by their urgency to do what they can to secure our future."
Bright portraits of unsung climate heroes were featured across JCDecaux UK's digital network throughout COP26.

Calm your inner Karen

Bottega Veneta Salon 02
Australia: Sydney Light Rail and Melbourne's tram network were given a full-body makeover for Kering's Bottega Veneta campaign. The zebra print wrap was a striking contrast to the cityscape, and an important part of the campaign which also involved street furniture and a takeover of Bondi Icebergs pool.

Get happy
Australia: Momentum Energy took over Flinders Street Station with jars of rainbow seeds and wishing stars "to project the feeling you get when backing renewables.
"The large scale and bold pallet of this installation certainly captivated passing commuters and fulfilled its purpose of putting a smile on the faces of Victorians who have done the hard yards through the pandemic."
