Google is holding an event on October 4th where it's widely expected to unveil its latest smartphones. Somewhat unusually for the company, it's also engaging in a bit of guerilla marketing — there are more than one building-sized advert trailing the event, as well as pictures of a statue in Brooklyn Bridge Park.





Both adverts and statue look just like the original video teaser released by Google this week, showing a plain white rounded rectangle alongside the date October 4th, and Google's "G" icon. There's also a hashtag on the base of the statue saying #MadeByGoogle — a phrase that's been popping up a lot for this event, suggesting that Google will be taking more responsibility for the design of whatever devices it announces, just like it does with its Pixel laptop and tablet. The video below is the teaser by Google for the October 4th event.
