What is Adver-Kiosk?

Image
By
There area many types of kiosks.

A kiosk can be a booth where vendors sell inexpensive consumables (i.e. cigarettes, chips, magazines, newspapers, ice cream, etc.) Kiosks can also operate as a booth that provides free information to pedestrians. Kiosks can be electronic or hand-operated.

But this kiosk, the Adver-Kiosk is different; it is meant to be a source of information, entertainment, meeting point, chat and/or consumerism.

When you picture Adver-Kiosk picture that meeting place in an office, a university, a hospital (maybe not a hospital) or a coffee place. Think about the conversations that happen around the coffee maker, the water cooler, or after dinner. That is what Adver-Kiosk is all about.

Have you heard of an advertising kiosk before?

Think about it…. Think about it…

We thought so…

We decided to launch a blog combining all the things you expect to get from a kiosk with our passion for advertising. We have assigned this little spot in the web to share our opinions, funny stories, videos, pictures, ads and any other curiosities that we may come across.

    Great start Yito!
    Looking forward to posting our random thoughts, thought-starters and oh so many advertising stories that are derived from our always overly analytical eye towards consumer behavior.

Its the explanation of the phenomena that gives the insight...

I have always found the following idea among the most interesting in business: numbers = true insight. Strong statement right?! Depending on where you stand, Positivist or Post, you might say that the above statement is true. Now, dont get me wrong, I enjoy numbers (a lot actually), but I feel that businesses nowadays are hanging thei hat on a percentage. Some examples of things I've heard - "Our brand tracking is showing that our awareness has declines 2%... are our TV not working?"  "The advertising strategy is not really moving product (sales)... I really haven't seen a percentage increase..." And I could honestly keep giving examples, but the above two are some I can recall pretty fast. Now, let me say that there is nothing wrong with the above statements, what bothers me is that with numbers we tend to look for one answer and one answer only. The thinking behind this is that there has to be some variable that is affecting the phenomena.But, if the...

Is this not a bit too intrusive?!

I know that good marketing is supposed to catch you a bit off guard and make you think about the message but this is just too much... Why? Because, 1) although it in fact was unexpected, it crossed the privacy line (which by today's standards is pretty low). 2) it's not creative, and 3) lacks authenticity... Which is the last thing you want if you deal with money. Thought?!

Honestly... Who is thinking Arby's??

By
Having worked at a McDonald's and for the McDonald's brand for a couple of years, seeing advertising like the one below reminds why the golden arches still have the higher share in the fast food market. Please know that I am not saying that McD's has this share solely because of its advertising, but at the very least, their advertising doesn't turn anyone away. While watching TV a couple of weeks ago, I came across the Arby's B-day spot, which you can see below. After watching it I just thought... wow, somebody actually produced this spot? Let me say that there is really nothing wrong with the production, it is more the idea that got produced. The strategy behind this campaign was pretty insightful and good. I'm Thinking Arby's . Ownable , different and niche enough that when you want to eat something hot and tasty only Arby's will suffice, hence you crave and can only think Arby's ... the problem was the execution. Does the guy like the food?...
