Universal Pictures UK have clearly been doing some work over the weekend, planting a hardly subtle shipping container right in the atrium of waterloo station, with the words  “Danger! Predatory Livestock. Trained Handlers Only” plastered across the side.

To promote their new movie Ant-Man that is soon to hit the big screen, Marvel have been subtly placing tiny little billboards in discrete (and some… not so discrete) locations across Australia. Sounds mad to most as it does of course turn its back to what typical advertising should be… However for it’s Ant-Man brand it works so beautifully, and has gained wild popularity across the internet.
