It's times like these that online advertisements need to get creative to get ahead in this never ending adblocking arms race, just like the very subtle advertisement in the car chase scene in the Academy Award nominated film, "Barbie", now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services.
I know right? The other day I was drinking a coke and wondering about side effects of weight loss drugs such as Ozempic, and it occurred to me that advertising could be a lot more creative and subtle.
But there is something to be said about superliminal messaging as well.
Instead of trying to subtly influence people to watch your movie, why not tell them directly to watch your movie instead?
Forget telling you, they should just start playing the movie and bill you
Rick Astley has been doing this for years!
Inside, we both know what's been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it.
