We’re in a new age of advertising, there’s no denying that. Social media, search, digital video and consumer participation have given brands extraordinary new ways to communicate and interact with their customers.

This rapid rise of new tools and media has even lead some to declare that “advertising is dead.” While we don’t agree with this claim, we do feel that the rules have changed.

Traditional advertising pushes a message out to the masses in hopes that someone (please, anyone!) will see it. It interrupts the content you really want to see with hopes that you’ll put up with it and pay at least a little bit of attention to the sponsored interruption.

The thing is, today’s consumer has little patience and tolerance for these tactics, and far too many ways to avoid them.

To reach this audience, we’ve got to stop pushing, and start connecting and offering value. We’ve got to stop interrupting, and start listening and interacting. Really, we’ve got to become more human, more personal.

We have so many new tools, and new ways of engaging with customers, we’d be foolish to ignore them. At Elemental, we’re focusing on seeking out these opportunities for consumer engagement with every project we undertake, creating experiences rather than interruptions, and relationships rather than impressions.

We’re also committing to experimenting more, with our creative and our strategies. We’re going to keep poking and exploring, and trying new things.

We are in a new age of advertising. We hope you’ll join us.
