Yellow Treehouse

The treehouse restaurant built using only the companies and resources found within the Yellow Pages.

Yellow Pages was a business search engine that helped anyone get any job done. We proved it by challenging someone to build a restaurant in a tree using only businesses in the Yellow Pages. Tracey, an unknown accordion player found herself in a redwood forest with Yellow Pages at her fingertips and over three months she worked with more than 65 Yellow listed companies to build a treehouse restaurant. We documented it and kept New Zealand updated with the progress. Tracey opened the restaurant and more than 2,000 people enjoyed dining ten metres above ground in its first month. This campaign saw Yellow Pages steal share of search back from Google - the only time this had ever happened, anywhere in the world.
