Quiet now – we’ve got an endangered purple-vested hiker observing a beaked thing just beyond the hill. Subaru and DDB Toronto are encouraging people to get outside with this new tongue-in-cheek campaign for the Outback. It features two versions of wild posting popping up in urban centres. One highlights the endangered species of outdoor humans – including blue-fined snorkellers and spandexed pedallers, while the other features classic birds with I-can’t-remember-what-this-is-called names (such as, our personal favourite “Dolphin.”) If you can’t name at least three of these birds, you really should get outside.
