What are we?


I find it ironic that pizza box advertising is classed as "out of home". Since most take out and delivery pizza is eaten IN THE HOME. So the ad is seen in the home, near the TV, computer, phone, and usually in a group. Should we be classed as print like a magazine? Yes, the ad is printed on the box, and instead of a bunch of articles you have a pizza as the content. How about interactive? Since everyone interacts with the media by sticking their hand in the box and grabbing a slice (or three). We are also classed as "non-traditional" media, which I guess we are...though I was surprised to hear a media buyer refer to us as "Traditional Out of Home" the other day. Whatever we are called or classed as, the point is pizza box ads are pretty powerful stuff...A rose by any other name...
