Speed bumps are becoming an increasingly attractive option to advertise products and services by catching the customer at a moment when he has to slow down his speed and pay attention.

The latest is a [McDonald](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-truck-billboard)’s [outdoor campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-advertising-campaign) by DDB New Zealand that promotes the new McDonald’s [Shaker Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaker-system) (the ones that come in a bag and you shake them with the spices before you eat them) just as the customer’s car gets a bit of a shake at the speed bump.

The creative team for this campaign includes Toby Talbot, Paul Hankinson and Pete Thompson.
