When you design a poster, mailing, or business collateral for a client, do you think about where it's going to appear? The space and environment in which the end-user will view or interact with the design?

Ambient marketing are is a discipline where the ad environment or medium (shopping bag, billboard, bus wrap, bus stop) shapes the creative, making the ads more playful and interactive. Ambient ads often appear in public spaces and interrupt consumers as they go about their routines. The creative is often memorable, keeping the product top-of-mind for consumers.

Below is a round up of 14 ambient marketing campaigns. These campaigns should inspire graphic designers to create more playful and interactive designs.
