Gymshark has installed a new billboard with the Shoplift campaign -- it invites customers to literally interact with the physical billboard. Passerbys are able to engage in a purposeful larceny act as the ad is detailed with the brand's apparel along with the provocative phrase reading 'Shop Lift" at the top, prompting those passing by to take the item home without having to pay.
This campaign is thought out by BUILDHOLLYWOOD and it captured curious pedestrians grabbing the clothing pieces that are hanging from the ad. As they grabbed the items, the billboard continued to unveil more of the message. The complete message reads "Shop lift-ing essentials—up to 60% off everything." This interactive ad is a creative way to announce its upcoming sale on June 27th.
