Wooster Collective, a well-known blog on street art, reported yesterday on BBDO West’s new anti-graffiti campaign. While not outright critical of the work, they do mention:

“While the world fights AIDS, poverty, global warming, education, and more, it’s interesting that BBDO chose - of all things - an anti-graffiti campaign as the first benefactor of their free support.”

Wooster Collective points to Adrants as their source for the ads (Adrants also has the other two executions).

Based on readers’ comments on Adrants, however, the response to the campaign is more negative than BBDO expected:

“Am I the only one that thinks that the graff in the houses looks really cool?” -Juls
“the campaign is a fear-mongering outrage … a complete waste. Shame.” -Michele

Another blog, Animal New York, points out the irony behind this campaign as well, considering that BBDO has an office out of Romania called Graffiti BBDO.
