Advertisers are scrambling to find newer, more innovative ways to reach their audiences, as the number of messages consumers are bombarded with seem to increase daily.
    These are certainly attention-grabbing:

    SecurityPoint Media, Zappos and the American Advertising Federation are hosting a contest that will place one person's or team's creative work in airports across the country.
