Media networks have infiltrated scores of out-of-home places in our daily lives: taxis, trains, buses, elevators, filling stations, bars, restaurants, and subways. Screen displays are pervasive: Smartphones and tablets, ATMs, airport check-in terminals, retail checkout machines, and information kiosks in stores and malls all carry marketers’ messages. Today consumers are drowning in irrelevant messages delivered across media from the web, TV, radio, print, and outdoor displays to a proliferating array of mobile devices. This is a far cry from advertising as we’ve known it-ubiquitous but often poorly targeted, intrusive, ignored at best and actively rejected at worst. Diageo transformed the most mundane form of advertising-a label with a logo-into an open-ended personal messaging system that could be woven into consumers’ lives.
The videos promoted the brand, tightened social bonds, and allowed the company to reconnect with both giver and recipient for future promotions-events, tastings, offers, and the like.

Dad could scan the code with his own phone to receive the recorded good wishes. Timed to hit shelves for Father’s Day, in August, the labels enabled a gift giver to scan a code and upload a video message for Dad to the cloud. Last summer the London-based beverage giant Diageo devised labels for its Brazilian-market whiskey that turned the bottles into a conduit for custom video. Shakespeare Machine, 2012, 37 blades display fragments of speech from the Bard’s plays that appear and then dissolve, 21′ x 17′, Public Theater, New York City is rooted in the psychological sphere: It advertises only through the optimism-promoting logo and slogan on its products.Īrtwork: The Office of Creative Research (Mark Hansen & Ben Rubin), Yelp’s Elite Squad of reviewers have a heightened sense of tribal affiliation that makes them powerful brand ambassadors. Nintendo identified young mothers who were willing to host Wii parties and provided them with everything they needed for these social-sphere events. Zappos did that when it placed ads in airport security bins (the public sphere)-reaching people whose minds may be on their shoes. Savvy marketers think about crafting messages that consumers will welcome in these domains. In the psychological sphere they connect language with specific thoughts and feelings. In the tribal sphere they affiliate with groups to define or express their identity.
In the social sphere they interact with and relate to one another. Rayport outlines four domains of human experience: In the public sphere people move from one place or activity to another, both online and off. To win consumers’ attention and trust, marketers must think less about what advertising says to its targets and more about what it does for them. Advertising strategies built on persuading through interruption, repetition, and brute ubiquity are increasingly ineffective. We live in a media-saturated world, where consumers are drowning in irrelevant messages delivered from the web, TV, radio, print, outdoor displays, and a proliferating array of mobile devices.
