Nissan puts a little elbow grease (well, actually just a rubber band) into their newest direct mail piece, touting the all-new Nissan cube. More importantly, Nissan proves that print pieces are still an effective way of thinking outside the box—or cube, in this case.
Static movie posters are SO yesterday. Check out this “motion” theatrical one-sheet for the upcoming Saw VI. Click on the image to go to the official site and watch the teaser unfold.
