Future of Advertising - here today

Inc.com has an interesting article on new advertising techniques. I thought the Elevator TV screens for advertising is a GREAT idea! People would LOVE something to focus on while in the elevator.

Another interesting part was the list of new media providers:


Name Location Specialty
Claria Redwood City, Calif. Behavioral targeting service tracks the online habits of Web surfers and hits them with relevant advertising.
Enpocket Boston Sends ad messages, coupons, and branded video files to mobile phones -- in some cases tracking the phone's location.
Pulse San Francisco Online tools turn a photo of any person or animal into a lip-synched talking head for viral ad campaigns.
Zebra Imaging Austin Produces large promotional holograms that make images of objects or people stand out in 3-D -- no glasses needed.
Experian Costa Mesa, Calif. Collates consumer data to predict which people are likely to be in the market for particular products.
Reactrix Redwood City, Calif. A motion-sensitive projector turns any surface into a crowd-drawing, brandable interactive display.
Massive New York City Inserts ads via an online connection into video games while they're being played. Coming is technology that will adapt the ads to individual players.
