For Oatly's international misfit campaign we painted this mural on our own advertising wall on the Slatuinenweg in Amsterdam. A gable of roughly 8 by 6 metres, fully hand-painted by Roy Valk (Karski), in collaboration with Raul&Rigel.
For Oatly’s Misfit campaign, we brought a guerrilla activation to life with a hand-painted mural. The artwork was the final piece in a playful chain reaction of ads, each referring back to the one before it. The mural brought all the campaign elements together in a single image on the street.
Oatly is known for advertising that refuses to take itself seriously. The campaign we put on this wall is the textbook example: a tennis player in Wimbledon whites reads a newspaper full of Oatly ads, next to a copy block that dryly describes what you're looking at. An ad about advertising, exactly the tone that makes the brand stand out worldwide.
That concept only works if the execution holds up. Every newspaper page, every typeface and every detail in the kit bag, down to the carton of oat drink, was painted by hand. No print, no canvas, just paint on brick.
The aftermovie shows passers-by stopping, watching and filming for days as the mural takes shape layer by layer. That's the difference with a billboard: a pasted poster simply appears, a painted wall draws attention before it's even finished.
