The Death of Interruption Advertising - A Future History Time Line
April 2015
Mono-channel interruption advertising dies! (sniff sniff – some mustachioed people cry but most don’t notice)
Oct 2015
Brand storytelling in a fragmented world becomes the massive challenge

‘Parallel Partners’ (another term coined in Farringdon – every monkey has his day and writes a Shakespeare play, and this one is Farringdon’s it seems) describing the way advertisers must become their customer’s life partner only nudging them towards products & services in the right place at the right time in the right way – goes viral and Harvard Town twins with Farringdon in recognition of its awesomeness.

9 年I like the marketing funnel inversion, nice. Btw I'm not sure if Shakespeare did write a play in Farringdon but there is the Sir John Oldcastle pub on Farringdon Lane, who was the original name for the Falstaff character in Henry IV....unfortunately it's a Weatherspoon.
