Hong Kong - JCDecaux Texon and the Victorian City Restaurant Group, owners of East Ocean, have today launched an eye-catching outdoor campaign featuring more than 70 giant mechanical hairy crabs.

The campaign officially rolls out around Hong Kong from today (5 October) and will continue until 3 January 2008.

The execution features a number of medium-sized crabs surrounding one gigantic crab housed within a waterfall-like shell.

The two creative specials run in Wan Chai and Tsim Sha Tsui.

A spokesperson for the Victorian City Restaurant Group said similar outdoor executions in the past had resulted in strong sales and added that the current execution would "have a great impact on the company and draw popular attention."

Companies featured:

  • JCDecaux Texon Ltd
