PROMO Launches Advergame for Advertisers

promo_marketer_challenge.jpg

Inspired by the menagerie of ad-smothered games, someone took it upon himself to go, “By gad – we should make ad games for advertisers!” This dangerous stream of thought yielded the PROMO Marketer’s Challenge, a drably-coloured trivia challenge on the ad industry — complete, of course, with ads.

The purpose of the game is to get talk out about PROMO magazine, which covers promotions and integrated marketing and is prepping for a relaunch. Redesign teasers are interspersed not-so-subtly throughout; in fact, we’ve played enough times to merit a free subscription CPM-wise. Are you listening, PROMO? Your SPREADS are engraved behind our EYELIDS.

I’m 65 and nobody warned me that the loneliest part of aging wouldn’t be losing people to death — it would be losing them to indifference, watching relationships you nurtured for decades fade because you’re no longer central to anyone’s daily life
