How do you ensure one of the oldest media platforms stays relevant in today’s market? By injecting social media into the mix. Gone are the days when strong visual impact was sufficient to stop consumers in their tracks. You need to be able to strike up a conversation and create an emotional bond with them.
Give consumers the freedom to discover and play with your idea. If they find it compelling enough, it will spread like wildfire. The age of convergence allows different media to integrate seamlessly. Traditional billboards can work together with a digital or mobile component to bring a creative idea to life in a completely new experience.
