Multi-tasking across
several screens
simultaneously, users
are more connected
than ever before. At
the present moment I
am online using my
computer to create
this book, streaming
a netflix show on my
television and
snapchatting with my
sister on my cell.

Adapting to a tech savvy society
In a society that is consumed by technology media, the
strategies of marketing and advertising specialists have
evolved to adapt. Old-school advertising methods would no
longer suffice, media use and exposure to advertisements
have changed.
The internet and mobile devices give consumers 24/7
information access. Marketing strategies have adapted to
redefine the consumer/product relationship. (3)

There are challenges for advertisers trying to convey their
message online, users either skip, block or disregard them
all together. 84% millennials don't even notice the
advertisements online, they have learned to block them out.

“Online ads
are intrusive,
obnoxious and
annoying” (3)
“Publishers must make money, but the reader must not be
overly annoyed”
PageFair is one solution to the adblocking, providing data
to publishers about which types of ads are being blocked
most and what it’s costing them. They have developed new
technology to allow publishers to display ads deemed
acceptable that meet strict criteria.(4)
The marketing industry has found its own solutions...

“Users are inadvertently putting their favorite websites out
of business”
Ad blockers create pressure for advertisers, an estimated
$21.8 billion of global ad revenue will be blocked this
year.(4)
Marketers have come up with their own solutions to the
problem. Relying more on native advertising and developing a
more intimate relationship with consumers.(3)

“The term native advertising likely stems from the
convergence of advertorial concepts and the social media
environment” (5)

These ads offer consumers more
control over which brands they
communicate with and what social
network platform will be used.
This is the “ultimate form of a
consumer-brand relationship” (5)

Ads appearing in stream and must
reduce disruption be relevant and
blend into the context.
Advertorials mirror the
surrounding content users may not
be aware that they are viewing an
ad.
Without discloser however,
consumers will feel decieved and
annoyed by the ad.(5)

Product Integration
We see on reality tv and movies
corporate sponsorships, logos and
brands plastered on venues and
participants so they are received
as relevant and non intrusive.
The result is a subtle “branded
entertainment experience” where
the distinction between
advertising and content fades.(3)

Advertising has become content and can be seen as must see
programming. If successful, ads will be considered ‘status
update worthy’, the key to social relationship marketing.

With more internet users than ever before, respectfully
increased is social media users. Marketing and
advertising strategies utilize social media to connect
with consumers on a more personal level in a what is
percieved as a mutually beneficial relationship.

“Advertisers are embracing the conversation with
customers over social media” (6)
Real time communication via social media
In response to a power outage at the 2013 superbowl,
oreo used social media to respond to the situation and
relate with consumers,
“Power out? No problem, you can still dunk in the
dark”.(6)
M&Ms created a real time
campaign for super bowl 2014,
featuring Yellow and Joe
Montana that would publish
live game commentary across an
array of social media
platforms.(6)

As advertising becomes
more unified with
content, consumers are
also becoming more a
part of the brands
story. Consumers want to
share their experiences
and feel heard (3)

Posting images on
social media sites to
share their experience.
“My Breakfast on Exam
Day” shows the brand
Red Bull as a love
mark,triggers an
emotional response and
connects consumers to
the brand and to each
other.(7)
