In 2009 ad agency The Brooklyn Brothers (who were awesome to work with) asked us to produce a design for a fake can of whale meat for a campaign to promote the Discovery Channel show Whale Wars in the UK. Our design was turned into giant fake cans of whale meat that were constructed at nearly 45 feet around and 9 feet tall (15 m x 2.5 m) and placed in 3 train stations in London Manchester and Leeds for several days as well as train ticket wallets that were given out to passersbys and as a coverwrap to a free newspaper given out in Manchester and London.
