Interaction With the increase in touch screen technology it has been increasingly easy to interact with consumers. In order for these brands to increase their interactivity the future will be in tablets and touch screen smart phones. The trick however is for adverts or apps or websites to not feel gimmicky.

being advertised at but they feel a part of the advert. Another advancement in interactive advertising is the use of real-time or live advertising.
