Los Angeles + New York
April 2021
To celebrate the legacy of the legendary English rock band The Who, their groundbreaking third studio album The Who Sell Out was brought to life through a bold Wild Posting® campaign across Los Angeles. Originally released on December 15, 1967, this iconic album remains a timeless masterpiece — showcasing the band’s innovative sound and willingness to push creative boundaries.
The campaign features vibrant, larger-than-life posters that capture the rebellious spirit and raw energy of The Who Sell Out. Strategically placed in high-traffic Los Angeles neighborhoods, the postings celebrate the album’s enduring influence while connecting with both longtime fans and a new generation discovering the band for the first time.
Wild Posting® is a uniquely fitting format for a campaign rooted in rock and roll history. The medium has deep ties to music culture — concert posters and street-level advertising have been part of the music industry’s promotional playbook since the 1960s, the same era that produced The Who Sell Out. Placing oversized paper posters across city walls feels authentic to the spirit of the album itself.
By blending nostalgia with modern outdoor advertising strategy, this campaign proves that Wild Posting® is as powerful today as it was when The Who were first plastering their name across London. The format drives organic social sharing, creates genuine street-level buzz, and reaches diverse audiences across the city’s most culturally active corridors.
