Does anyone remember some company launched a branding/identity campaign awhile back but offered nothing to sale/buy. Did I dream this or did it actually happen?

no, but that's pretty interesting. the thing i'm thinking of wasn't a hoax, it was simply a brand-name created with nothing to sell or buy....does anyone remember this?

are you thinking of that "Nothing" campaign from New Zealand a few years back?

The "Nothing" campaign had billboards and print ads and the works for a non-existent product – it was a fake teaser campaign, with no real information, but there were 800 numbers and so on, and people actually called in wondering when and where they get there hands on some 'nothing' – classic! They had no idea what they wanted, but they knew the had to have it.
Somebody's got to have the link...
