However, some think “ambient advertising contains the seeds of its own destruction… because once the approach is copied and becomes commonplace, it ceases to surprise,“ Guardian, August 1997.
Another problem is that “genuine impact of ambient media is difficult to measure as it often takes TV and press coverage to attract wider public attention to it.” Sunday Business all the way back in 1998.
