In today's chaotic and noisy world, businesses and brands have to go above and beyond traditional marketing and advertising strategies to connect with consumers. One new method, discussed in the this week's featured PRO Trend Functional Advertising, shows how experimental marketing offers consumers a physical experience. By incorporating a physical aspect into a campaign, like giant murals that actually catch bugs or ads that dispense sunscreen, consumers will have a more powerful mental connection with certain brands.
