Teehan+Lax had developed a campaign for TELUS that featured the HTC Diamond smart phone. The objective was to illustrate the smart functionality and full-featured graphic interface.

Digital signage was placed on underground subway platforms of the Toronto Transit Commission system, and pushed realtime, graphically-illustrated weather conditions - via an RSS feed - directly to the panel. As commuters exited the subway train they could see the actual weather conditions at the street-level above. OneStop Media Group screens handle advertising on the TTC network..

Secondary signage pieces were located (via Neo Advertising) in mall food courts and TELUS retail locations where people would be buying the handset. These were designed as sales tools for the store reps.

“In these instances, we illustrated the handsets visual appeal, with the face-enhanced address/phone book as well as other graphic interfaces,” says Dave Stubbs, partner at Teehan+Lax. “Then we wrapped up the story with a price point message and a call to action: ‘Ask a sales rep for details.’
