Denver International Airport Trolls Travelers With The Most Genius Conspiracy Theory Campaign
You’ve probably heard conspiracy theorists drone on and on about the infamous Illuminati, but what about the Denver International Airport? One of the biggest airports in the world, it’s also the most ‘mysterious’, so the media relations team decided to have a little fun with their reputation in a hilarious ad campaign for the terminal’s construction project.
Decorated with a demonic blue horse ‘Blucifer’, apocalyptic murals, baggage claim gargoyles, and underground tunnels. DIA is something straight out of a Twilight Zone episode. From its inception in the 1980’s to its opening in 1995, the airport has been under scrutiny by the public. Well all publicity is good publicity, right? At least the directors of the airport agree with the sentiment. In lew of the typical bland ‘under construction’ signs, DIA posted hilarious signs poking fun at the most popular speculations.
Spokesperson for the DIA, Emily Williams, told the Denver Post, “I think that we recognize that conspiracy theories are part of our brand. It’s a fun way that we can engage with our passengers,” adding, “The ads, which were created with agency Karsh Hagan, will stay up through the current phase of construction, which concludes next summer.”
Scroll down below to see one of the most epic troll campaigns!

Recently, people have noticed suspicious posters at the Denver International Airport
They all seem to include cryptic messages regarding their new construction project
DIA spokesperson, Emily Williams, told the Denver Post “I think we recognize that conspiracy theories are part of our brand. It’s a fun way that we can engage with our passengers”
Each poster highlights the most popular conspiracy theories about the ‘creepy’ airport
“THE AIRPORT WAS BUILT BY THE NEW WORLD ORDER”
“THE AIRPORT CONTAINS THE ILLUMINATI HEADQUARTERS”
“THE ARTWORK CONTAIN CLUES TO THE APOCALYPSE “
The conspiracies started in 1995 when the airport first opened
Due to the bold and bizarre artwork and architecture
However, the mysterious airport became more mainstream when they debuted on a 2012 episode of Jesse Ventura’s “Conspiracy Theory” TV show
2016 was the first time DIA played along with the controversy and celebrated “Conspiracy Month” with a museum-style exhibit
But maybe hiding their secrets in plain sight was their plan all along…
People applauded the airport’s brilliant ad strategy and were thoroughly entertained

A little creativity can go a long way. Construction at an airport is usually mundane. And if there really are rumors floating around about this airport (those horse statues are crazy), I love that they are aware of them and can have a little fun with it.

Llona you might want to change the numerical typo unless there's also a time travel conspiracy that I hadn't heard of - it's in the initial blurb - line begins "1980’s to its opening in 1955" - but fun article!

This must be really recent because I was there a month ago and didn't see this.

Ha!!! As a Denver native, I pay attention to all of the "FACTS" about DIA. When I and a friend went out to the observation tower as it was being built, all he said was this is the biggest cluster $#%@ I have ever seen. To be truthful though, it is a pretty damned efficient airport. Not as good as PDX, but good.
