A&E Advertising "Manhunters" & Bravo Promoting "Top Chef" in New York City Outdoor

A&E is advertising "Manhunters" and Bravo is promoting "Top Chef" at telephone kiosks. They stand on opposite sides of Broadway and 37th St. (taken today with our i phone)--although the shows couldn't be more different.



The "Manhunters" poster is perfectly located three blocks from the Empire State Building...about the same distance as that Empire-State-looking building in the background. "Manhunters" is a new reality show about agents, mandated after 9/11, to work across federal, state and local agencies to track down the NYC really bad and the ugly. Guns like that look pretty damned serious. Starts Tues Dec. 12th at 10 ET/PT. The poster line "Welcome to the jungle" in that location is, well, ironic?

Love the positioning of the knife in Bravo's poster for "Top Chef", which premiered this Wednesday (10 ET) and focused on the ethnic food found in NY's diverse negthborhoods. The show has now come to New York. If you haven't watched, it looks like a horror cooking show. Or, quite literally, cut throat chefs. That's what I imagine. Fun.



I'll tune in.

We'll be out shooting more ads. Now, LA, you don't even need to come to town to see NYC ads for your shows.
