Sonic's Green Big Slush Billboard

Sonic took a simple drink and made it larger than life. Their green-apple-pineapple slush billboard literally pops out with a huge 3D straw. Drivers can’t ignore it, and more importantly—they feel the thirst.

Marketing Analysis

This billboard nails sensory marketing. It doesn’t just show, it suggests the experience. The straw acts like a visual magnet pulling your eyes (and brain) into the drink.
