Lately it seems like there have been an increasing number campaigns bridging different forms of media, particularly in terms of connecting smartphones with out of home digital signage (remember this McDonald's example from Sweden). Additionally we've been seeing increasing amount of executions that use audio (particularly Shazam) to bridge between TV and a smartphone experiences. One of the nicest executions I've seen comes from Red Bull & NBC. Fans watching NBC's snowboarding competition - Red Bull Supernational had the opportunity to use Shazam to get video from the snowboarders POV, thus creating a nice two screen experience during the broadcast. Check it out below:

The second example comes from Germany agency Agenta as part of their activation as sponsors of the German Basketball Federation. Using their smartphones, people could connect to the billboard and use their phone as a virtual basketball to play a free throw challenge. At the same time a camera snapped pictures of them competing and uploaded/shared it amongst their Facebook friends.
Really nicely done, especially in terms of linking participation offline with a sharing mechanism online. Check out the video below for more:
The third example was created by JWT London for the National Centre For Domestic Violence. They installed a series of interactive billboards in London's Euston station. The first billboard shows a man shouting at a woman with a call to action encouraging users to use their phone to 'Stop This Now and Drag Him Away.' Users could scan a QR code or go to the website to drag him away via their phone which pulled the man further and further away from the woman and across the other connected billboards while displaying anti-violence messages.
It's a laudable effort, but I'd be curious to understand how well it actually worked it and how many people took the time to participate. Was it clear what was happening on all the connected billboards or was interaction just limited to the one and then continued across after a user began taking part? Anyhow, check it out below:
