Video: ‘Drone-vertising’: Great, Now UAVs Are Going to be Flying around Selling Us Stuff
Melissa Melton/Activist Post
Am I the only one who feels like I’ve been born in the wrong time period?
Or maybe we just permanently live in 1984 year after year after year…
Apparently the next trendy new thing will be drones flying around everywhere trying to sell you stuff.
That’s right. Tagline? “Advertising has never been so high.”
Meet “drone-vertising” (via Yahoo! News):
Sometimes it seems like every technological innovation ultimately just turns into a new way to show us ads. But drones?
Yes, drones, too: Ads of the World and PSFK have brought to our attention the concept of “drone-vertising,” in this case represented by Moscow-based agency Hungry Boys.
As depicted in the video below, the idea was to hype a local restaurant chain by dispatching a bunch of drones, carrying promotional signage, as they float by office windows and along sidewalks, encouraging office workers to stop by for lunch at the restaurant.
Working in a highrise? Don’t be surprised when a little drone flies past your window holding a sign that says, “Eat at Joe’s”. (Or five of them every five minutes…)
