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.

Necessary Brand Extension?

By
As the yogurt wars continue to strengthen, brands are needing to find a stronger point of differentiation and go after stronger niches. While reading something online a couple of days ago, the above ad came up and left me thinking; is this right? Let me begin by saying that I love yogurt and in fact have it for breakfast most often than not. To be quite frank, I have never being a big fan of Yoplait - it's too sweet for my taste. This could very well be the fact that I grew up in Mexico, where yogurt is sour, so in my mind, the more sour it is the more natural. So you might be wondering what brand of yogurt I buy - well it is actually Greek, Fage, and I have to say that I love it. With that said, and given my inquisitive nature, I began asking people if they would buy the Yoplait Greek. Interestingly enough, of those who are currently buying some sort of Greek yogurt, not necessarily Fage said that they wouldn't buy it. Those who consumer Yoplait said that they would definitely...

KFC's Interesting Ad Buy... Is this right?

A huge part of advertising strategy is placement - because depending on where you buy is he awareness that you will get. But before I go into my observation as to the picture you see on the blog, let me begin by sayint that not too long I was reading a very interesting article on the "Disneyzation of Society," which can be boiled down to 4 key objectives: 1) Theming, 2) De-differentiation of Consumption, 3) Merchandising, and 4) Emotional Labor. Though my attempt on today's post is not to talk about the paper it is important to say why it is that I am bringing up. About a decade ago or so, a book that tackled the idea of globalization through the usage of a major corporation, McDonald's, revolutionized the way we look at business - the author called this McDonalization. McDonalization is the idea that global corporations seek to maximize 1) efficiency, 2) calculability, 3) predicatability, and 4) control. Well, in order to be able to accomplish the 4 things, companies...

Is this not a bit too intrusive?!

By
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?!
