UM Sydney creates smoking hot visual for Meat and Livestock’s Beeflex poster site
UM and client Meat & Livestock Australia have installed unique technology to a poster site which creates the effect of a smoking great Australian Beef barbeque. The campaign launches this week.
The site has been unveiled in Sydney and will be complemented by roadside poster sites and bus shelters that will waft iconic summer barbeque scents to attract interest from pedestrians.
The campaign kicks off Meat & Livestock Australia’s summer campaign supporting Beef sales.
Says Hugo Cutrone, associate communications director at UM Sydney: “Our target for Beef is always grocery buyers but for this campaign we needed to have a separate strategy to target men. The winter season sees most cooking activity move to inside the home. This summer we are asking men to step up to the plate and reclaim the grill with Beef.”
Installation of the barbeque smoking supersite conforms to local council environment regulations by using theatrical smoke machines to generate the effect. The campaign runs to December 4.

Sorry Beeflex sounds like someone’s gagging. It just does.
“Salivating” and “Beeflex” in the same ad. How thoroughly appetising!
“….roadside poster sites and bus shelters (that) will waft iconic summer barbeque scents to attract interest from pedestrians”…… I couldn’t think of anything worse than waiting for a bus and being engulfed in a nasty big cloud of bbq meat cooking. Seriously??
But it’s raining
Guys come on, okay the line is clumsy and the typography makes it feel like an 80’s ad, but look it’ll work it’s arse off, get talked about and sell product.
It may not be pretty, or clever or arty but hey it will do it’s job.
Its not beef, it’s a turkey.
Gag beeflex.
Seriously tho, I saw these in the back of a cab near the airport. Couldn’t smell anything except the driver’s l’odeur de corps.

It will do the job…some many haters…there are very few “original” ideas, get over it, step down from your high horse and reflect on your advertising snobbery.
Shame on you!
A picture or beef on a bbq, giving off the smell of a bbq, and a name that makes me think of gagging? Yeah, ew.
