Top 70 Interactive Trends in December

From Crowdsourced Holiday Songs to Wrapping Paper Posters

— December 26, 2014 — Marketing
Since this is one of the biggest times of the year for giving, many of the top December 2014 interactive ideas show off brands connecting with their consumers in fun ways.

With its Cover Greetings campaign, KLM made it so that when a passenger boarded its aircraft, the backs of their headrests included personal messages from friends and family members. Whether or not people are able to spend time with their loved ones this season, this is a heartwarming way to make each end every traveler's experience special.

This year the Gap is also running a fun holiday shopping campaign online in collaboration with musical artist Blood Orange called 'Play Your Stripes.' The interactive experience turns sweaters and other pieces of apparel into musical instruments through augmented reality, infusing each piece of clothing with tons of personality.
