Advertising At Ground Zero: Creative or Offensive?



When news of the Usama bin Laden's death broke, opportunists jumped on the bandwagon. Internet criminals lurked in the wings with their never before seen "Osama's death photos." Pranksters creates a parody Twitter accounts with Osama bin Laden tweeting from the grave. Even advertising agencies worked well into the night on a brand opportunities for our customers to share the spotlight.

Advertisers looking to build an ad campaign focused on what's trending. Our inboxes fill the spam brands attempt to mold into something that nisu.Najnoviji titles are overshadowed by persistence of the royal wedding, and suddenly become a model of patriots with their message of American pride.

and today, many repopulated the streets of lower Manhattan for Obama visit Ground Zero. Street vendors are seen peddling American flag, holding shirts and shouting "Obama has won eight." Profiteering is rampant.

When the president arrived, he exchanged a heartfelt hug and handshake, he laid a wreath ceremony to honor the victims of 9 / 11, and led a moment of silence. However, he did not make govor.Bijela House spokesman later explained that the President does not want to give the appearance of using the ceremony for "political purposes ."

after the presidential parade leaves, exposed to the crowd support and solidarity, chanting "USA! USA!" The city seemed more alive and energized than ever.

Advertisers see this as an opportunity for lucrative to seize the moment and put your brand message in the middle of all the action. If you recall, at the 11th September 2001, advertisers are pulling advertisements. Now, about ten years later, it seems that just the opposite.

Two weeks ago, aerial advertising brand introduced custom built R22 helicopter, equipped with 36-foot digital billboard. "We had a perfect opportunity to offer our customers over the captive audience at Ground Zero, but it just does not feel right," said Kyle Benham from Bootcamp Lights.

advertising industry is looking more towards the non-traditional methods to gain a competitive advantage. They are trying to get rid of all clutter. During this period, viral, advertisers get impatient waiting for the results. Bad press is often equated with immediate success.
