Dracula wins with 27.78 per cent. This inventive and *cough* bloody -clever ad from BBC Creative launched to drum up attention for the TV mini-series of the same name, back in 2020. Stakes on the billboard are lit by a lamp as the sunsets form the shape of Dracula's face. It's on brand, on message and quirky enough to get everyone talking; it's no wonder this large print ad staked a claim to be in our list of the best billboard advertising of all time.
