Abstract

Consumers are exposed to a large volume of advertising messages on a daily basis. This excess of commercial messages is called advertising clutter. Marketers are searching for new innovative advertising strategies to break through this clutter and creative media advertising is considered as one of them. Whereas traditional media advertising uses traditional media vehicles (such as TV, newspapers, social network sites, and so on), creative media ads display promoted messages on media vehicles that (1) are not previously used for advertising and (2) have an associative overlap with the promoted brand (Dahlén, 2005).
