Marketers should never try to sneak things by people, both from an ethical and a purely-strategic perspective. No one walks away happy when this happens. Can't say I get hassled by hair straightening boothspeople, but I can see that being utterly annoying! Thanks, Cecilia.

I really thought the Petrushka doll was a brilliant expression and the Google ad was very creative. They don't even "feel" like ads...which is the point, right? I hate being sold and avoid it like the plague. You wouldn't believe to what extremes I can go to avoid the hard sell. I'll walk a mile out of the way at the mall to avoid the hand lotion or hair straightening kiosk. If I start reading a blog and it even smells of being a sponsored post, I'm out of there. I don't know if I'm unique or average, but it's the way I operate. Excellent post Ian. I really thought the Petrushka doll was a brilliant expression and the Google ad was very creative.
