Promotional Advertising With Physical Products

By 26 March 2014July 26th, 2025Seasonal Promotions

It is no secret that reaching the audience that you would like with your advertising is getting harder and harder. The amount of innovation, effort and the sheer amount of saturation in advertising for a product or service has been increasing and it has gone to a point where if your advertising is not smart, witty or emotive then your message gets lost in a sea of other advertising.

Increasingly many advertising agencies are turning to ambient advertising. This means that instead of merely stating a product or a service via a photo along with some text, these advertisements take things one step further and integrate physical objects and the visual space directly around them into the message. The result? Some truly amazing smart advertisements that draw attention to them in a way that ordinarily would not. Here are some of the best examples of this type of advertising that we have seen.
