Technological changes and how they are important for advertising

Brands are constantly evolving and trying to create the best way to communicate their messages to their customers. With rapid changes in technology, they must adapt to create advertising that fits within the new emerging spaces. The key is not to just include advertisements in these new technologies but to create advertising that is immersive and blends seamlessly with a user’s experience. It isn’t surprising to know that with the invention of technologies like Augmented Reality and Virtual reality, marketers have jumped at the opportunity to generate sales through these immersive products.

As an example of how Ads can be utilized within the VR space, HTC’s Vive includes a VR ad service that can be opted into by developers creating things for the product. The goal is to fund the free to play games just as a mobile game would. Ads that show up in these immersive environments are also much more likely to generate attention on a product, especially since people have to look at the ads. Interestingly enough, the headset also offers the ability to eye track people who use the product in order to better determine which types of ads are more relevant to you which have caught your attention.

AR ads on the other hand may be more prominent in the future. The good thing about these Ads is that the user is entirely in control on whether they would like to interact with it most of the time. Companies like Burger King have already toyed around with the idea, the company created an AR filter that basically burned a Mcdonald’s Ad if you pointed a phone’s camera toward the advert.

The key takeaway is that companies will find a way to include ads within these new ad spaces and they may actually be the new ad frontiers of the future. The challenge will be how best advertisers address seamlessly integrating these ads especially for VR users so that they don’t become annoying and intrusive which would have the opposite effect intended. 

ENG Media Log Number 1

Media Log Number 1:

Online Marketing: Messages, memes, and manipulation. Do I encounter much manipulation to buy? Do I care?

Everywhere we look in our modern world, we see advertisements. On every surface, from supermarket eggshells to subway turnstiles, motion sickness bags to security equipment, we are bombarded in every waking moment with suggestions to obtain, consume, use or take part in, ideas, products, commodities, and movements. The market research firm Yankelovich released its estimate that the average person in a city encounters about 5000 advertisements every day – a statistic that admittedly should be taken with a grain of salt, seeing as the estimate was made in 2007, meaning that number has probably gone up. It is a staple of our lives to have this constant assault on our senses by advertisements of every stripe. And those are all contained in the real world. Yankelovich’s estimate doesn’t include social media – the world’s most effective new stage for advertisement.

It’s safe to say from these statistics that we encounter plenty of manipulation to buy in the real world, especially in the city. Few areas aside from public parks are absent adverts, not schools, not workplaces, and not even homes. The vast majority of public places are dominated by advertising, using everything from billboards to screens, but it is the use and purchase of products that sneak advertising into private spaces. You need to buy things to survive in a city, and those things come with brand names and slogans strewn across them. A feature of many homes is the television – a device designed to heighten a viewer’s experience of the content shown, much of which are adverts.

But what about social media, this new service casually connecting people from across the planet, providing endless entertainment, and costing nothing? Social media allows us to do many incredible things, but it is a money-making platform so of course ads run rampant. But not like television. The difference between these two screens’ ads are the level of personalisation. Television, which collects little to no data from its viewers, and is expected to reach millions of different people every day through select channels, forces advertising agencies to be pretty general with their messaging. But where people use television only to watch things, people use their social media to build a lifestyle, spread ideas, communicate, find entertainment, and shop. Through viewing a user’s preferences on the platform, a company can build a targeted advertising system just for them showing what the platform believes they will be interested in. Where other forms of advertising in the real world are more rigid, defined by their limits, the digital and personalising elements of social media allow a system that is more malleable for the purposes of advertisers. Most social media platforms allow users to create their own content of some kind, which can then usually be sponsored and monitored for hits, helping the platform build its understanding of the user base’s interests. Even just an account of some kind that you follow posting a sponsored piece of content shows a greater degree of targeted advertising than something like television or billboards ever could.

Also very much worth noting is how these social media platforms are designed to keep your attention. Since most social media platforms are free for use, the owners mostly make money through advertisements. Simple logic dictates that the more someone uses a service with ads, the more ads they will see. Increasing the amount of time people spend on their platform will make it more attractive to advertisers as an acceptable advertising area. Thus, social media is designed to hold your attention, encouraging time consuming actions on their platform, and making their service a habitual experience for their users. Snapchat streaks are a good example of how a company preys on the social interactions between people to increase time spent on the snapchat app. We spoke in class about how just scrolling through Instagram can become a kind of pseudo-addiction. The value of a social media platform is determined by its popularity and frequency of use, so increasing these elements is imperative for success.

Since people use social media so much, and ads are a primary source of income for a platform, it is safe to say that we encounter much manipulation to buy in the digital world as well as the real. These ads can come in many different forms, from professional videos before creator content, to sponsored memes. But exactly how effective are they? Should it matter all that much to us that our lives are constantly intertwined with the efforts of companies to get inside our heads?

In an interestingly ironic turn, the massive bombardment of advertisements we experience may actually be a reason for lack of interest in the advertised service/products. Because of how many ads there are, human minds tend to experience what Gretchen Hofmann, executive vice president of marketing and sales at Universal Orlando Resort termed “An absolute sensory overload.” The more ads there are fighting for attention, the less effective they are, simply due to their numbers. Despite knowing that you are surrounded at almost all times by brand names and product placement and corporations and businesses all vying constantly and in any way for your attention, I’m willing to bet that you’ll struggle to recall the last ad you were exposed to. This is because your brain has learned to tune them out. For a similar example, take your nose. It is almost always in your field of view. It’s outline hovers before your open eyes at all times. But since your nose is always there, your brain has learned not to pay attention to it. The same goes for advertisements. They’re always there, so we rarely process them, and it is the same for the frequently displayed adverts on social media platforms.

For this reason, I would personally say that while it is obvious that we as users of social media and the internet frequently encounter manipulation from a multitude of sources, we really do not have to care all that much. This manipulation has been going on for decades, and though through its new form advertising is better equipped to influence a viewer, I believe that since the same effect of a sensory overload is in place, advertising will have the same effect on consumers now as it ever has.

Blog Post #3: Brian Swanick: Digital Marketing

Brian Swanick, a freelance digital marketer, spoke with my class about the foundations of digital marketing and why it is important. His most important message was value. What value do you bring as an agency? What value can you bring to their customers? A product or service has value when it helps someone achieve something and fulfill a desire. For digital marketing, value impacts everything you do: segments, channels, messaging, ad copy, and a website. In order to correctly market to your audience you have to identify who values your product.  What is most important to them? Is it their home, family, kids, career? A great example of a company knowing their consumer's value is Nike. They know their customers live a healthy and fit lifestyle. They created The Nike+ Training Club that offers people a chance to attend group workouts (running sessions, yoga classes, and functional trainings) free of charge. This adds value to Nike because they are showing their customers that they know what is important to them. It is also important to determine where these people hangout? Is it TV, Pinterest, YouTube, etc. Determining this will narrow down the correct channels to target to your consumers. Delivering an effective message is the most challenging part. The message usually needs a target segment, a channel to deliver it through, ad copy, visual imagery, and a Call-to-Action. After the consumer has been in contact with your ad you want them to visit your website. The website experience needs to align with the ad experience. It needs to make it easy for customers to get things done. Having a good website is extremely important. It is often the first impression that you can give potential customers. You want it to be a good first impression. It needs to be clean, easy to use, and valuable for the potential customer. It's a tool for your business. Digital marketing is a huge part of growing a brand and loyal customer base.
