In order to show that Venus gives you “seriously smooth legs,” BBDO Philippines came up with this guerrilla campaign that turned an escalator at Dhoby Ghaut, one of the busiest stations in Singapore with over 1.4 million daily visitors, into long sexy legs.

“Dramatizing the benefit of smooth legs to 1.4M people daily, which is equivalent to reaching 29% of the population, it takes a TVC at least 4 weeks on prime time to achieve a similar level,” the ad copy explains.

Great work by BBDO Guerrero Ortega, Philippines with creative directors David Guerrero, David Lubars, Joni Caparas, Joel Limchoc, Simon Welsh, and art directors Joni Caparas and Ming-mei Hung.

It should be noted that Dhoby Ghaut train station is one of the busiest MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) stations in Singapore, not in the Philippines as the article assumes.

Ah, you are right Gautami! I must have confused it by where the ad agency was from. I'll ask the editors to correct it. Thanks for catching it.
