Advertising at 38,000 Feet

by Marcus Didion on November 18, 2008

Snagged this image of a the airplane tray table on the way to Charlotte yesterday.  Couple of thoughts- this Zicam ad was in front of me for a total of 6 hours yesterday with no escape!  Having 6 hours to digest the message, one might think that more than a simple headline could have been employed and consumed.  The ad had no call to action whatsoever – online or mobile.

After paying a dollar for a cup of coffee, I noticed that the napkin had an SMS frequent flyer sign-up through a simple 2 way campaign.

Who would have thought that a napkin advertisement would be higher-tech than a complete airplane tray table takeover?  (ps- what’s with the Rhino?)

I surprised that they don’t have a checkers or chess board on the tray table. Zicam can supply the playing pieces for each plane. Rhinos could be on the King playing piece.
