Brands can track redemption rates and promotion-linked in-store sales. The problem with most out-of-home (OOH) advertising – billboards, large digital screens, etc – is that marketers have absolutely no idea how to measure its effectiveness. How can advertisers truly be sure that passers-by actually look up at those ads, however large and dynamic they are? Well, you can’t.

You can love them and want rehabilitation and perhaps one day redemption but when a person has exploited a position of power they don’t deserve our sympathy above that of the victims and they don’t deserve a free pass back into power.

What the redemptions won’t say is: How many of those people would have stayed at Westin twice even when they didn’t see this offer (regulars at Westin). Since there will be redemptions of the $100 certificate there is a “perceived win&# and that is the invisible flaw. The sad part about a flaw is that it is visibly invisible – meaning you should have seen it but you don’t. In other words, a flaw typically does not hide itself from you.

The most glorious media story arc is rags to riches to rags with redemption back to riches. I love the phrase vanishing mediary. This is what I aspire to be. It’s the opposite of a visible intermediary. In our ego-fueled world, many people want to be front and center. Leaders are told to lead from the front, even if all they do is get up on a white horse and exit stage left as soon as the battle starts.

Now that you’re in total despair over the state of in-game advertising, it’s time for the redemptive denouement. In-game advertising sucks. That’s not news, but it bears repeating. It doesn’t just suck in the same way that, say, dodgy used car salesmen or “cheese-flavored product” do either, where one party profits wildly while the rest of us get shafted. It’s as frustrating for advertisers as it is for developers, and gamers are equally jaded.
