#ADVIntegration

conversations with consumers

keeps them top-of-mind
4. Event and Real Time
Marketing Background

Real Time Marketing: creative advertising done
completely on-the-fly during a newsworthy event.
(@adweek)
5. Interactive Advertising
Text Ads: Basic advertising text, no images and no animation. Boring and least effective.
Standard Display: Standard display ads can either be static or animated with tools like
Flash. They usually have only one interaction, meaning that when you click on them,
you'll be taken directly to the site.
Rich Media Ads: Require much more complex technology to ensure that all of the ad
behaviors function properly, that all of the interactions can be measured and to serve the
ads onto web pages.

-"There should no longer be "digital agencies" because
everyone should have the capability and know-how to
create work for the digital space."

if they don't work in it directly." There are opportunities
to make even the most traditional work have social
elements."
