OVERVIEW

Why is this work relevant for Outdoor?

If a 7 meter tall action figure in a real oversized packaging hanging on a wall in central Vienna is not relevant for Outdoor, what is?

Please provide any cultural context that would help the Jury understand any cultural, national or regional nuances applicable to this work.

Arnie goes Netflix goes Austria. For promoting the first ever series of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the D-A-CH region it was more than logical to choose Vienna as the place for our placement: the worlds largest action figure. Arnie is Austria biggest hero and still creates a lot of media buzz whenever he is back home, also across the border to Germany and Switzerland.

Also hardly anything goes with Arnold as well as an action figure - THE merchandise that action fans played with in the 80s and 90s – who are our target group for Arnold's series today.

Background:

"I'll be back!" And indeed, the Governator is back and "bigger than ever": the Netflix series "FUBAR" presents us with more Schwarzenegger screen time than ever before in a total of 8 episodes and almost 8 hours.

Netflix briefed us to create attention for Arnold Schwarzenegger's first Netflix series and activate action fans in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Arnie's community. Of course with the intention to bring Arnold and "FUBAR" where Mr. Universe always ends: in 1st place (of the Netflix charts).

Describe the Impact:

The installation not only impressed the Viennese, but also Arnie himself: he traveled to Vienna and cycled past his giant alter ego and posted a video on his social channels. The whole Austrian press jumped on the story and was the news of the day.

Furthermore is the Guinness Book of Records currently checking whether we have even set a world record with this massive action figure.

And last but not least: FUBAR was from launch day on on the 1st place in the Netflix charts and stayed in the Top 10 for weeks. Actually it was so successful, that there will be a 2nd season. So: Arnie is back. Again.

Write a short summary of the ambient work.

To live up to the motto "More Arnie than ever", we built Arnold Schwarzenegger a monument that truly celebrates the greatest action hero of the 80s and 90s: We built the world's biggest action figure. In Schwarzenegger's home country, we "hung" a real 7 meter high Arnie action figure on a central building façade in Vienna for the launch of his show "FUBAR" – in true 80s toy packaging with a viewing window, all relevant safety instructions and the tune-in, of course.
