Can Madison Avenue Keep Up?

| posted by Fast Company staff

Madison Avenue (which once was packed with high-profile advertising agencies in NYC) hasn't come up with anything new for decades. I find it interesting that no one has mastered the art of product placement in computer games. What does it cost? Who's measuring the effects? What's the best way to develop commercial messages for games? Will this threaten the old bastions of the advertising world?

Type "/pizza" in EverQuest II and you can order a pie from Pizza Hut.
