Top 85 Interactive Ideas in October

From Touch-Activated Denim Ads to Travel Simulation Booths

— October 29, 2014 — Marketing
When it comes to marketing, some of the best October 2014 interactive ideas put a focus on creating a totally immersive experience that engages multiple senses. One impressive experience to call out is the 'Sound of Porsche' pop-up lab in New York, which takes fans on a journey of sights and sounds from the brand's history.

If you can't make it out to the multi-sensory lab, there are also a number of great interactive experiences that you can take advantage of with a mobile device. One particularly shocking interactive ad that was recently launched includes a promotion for the upcoming season of Homeland, which takes the form of a phone ad that simulates a bomb going off. Although not all of these examples are explosive, they're just as efficient at making as big an impact.
