Parklife Festival pull #WengerIN stunt during Manchester Derby

Guerrilla marketing takes to the skies

The increasing unease between Arsenal FC fans and their long-term manager, Arsene Wenger has been played out in the public sphere for some time now.

#WengerOut banners have become ubiquitious after appearing at protests across the globe and becoming one of the year’s most enduring internet memes.

Tonight, Manchester festival Parklife took advantage of the Manchester Derby to fly a plane above Manchester City’s Ethiad Stadium, trailing a banner stating ‘wengerin.com’.

Despite numerous Arsenal-mocking posts online, anyone who actually follows the link will find their way to the Parklife Festival website, rather than any action group for Arsenal fans.

Clever stuff, Parklife!
