Peoplevertising

Creative ad agencies literally use consumers as vehicles for their message
Implications - A true mark of success for a company is when consumers begin literally branding themselves with their mark by wearing their merchandise, or even getting tattoos of their logos. Ad agencies have caught on to this and thus, are beginning to buy this level of fandom by commissioning people to act as walking billboards. Though extreme, this method is sure to cause a stir through its shock factor alone. [More]

Supersized Selling (UPDATE)

Larger-than-life marketing tactics are impossible to ignore
Implications - These days, the marketing mantra seems to be “go big or go home” as more brands look to colossal structures, ads and stunts to make an impact on consumer preference.
