Video in print

Video-in-print (ViP) advertising is video advertising that is featured in a print format. They are used for their "medium is the message” value and to generate free publicity.[1]

Technology

This technology is produced by printers and dimensional design firms around the world [2].

History

The first time video-in-print advertising was created by Americhip (inventors and patent holders) and was when CBS decided to embed a video-chip ad in the September 2009 issue of Entertainment Weekly to advertise CBS's Big Bang Theory and PepsiCo's new Pepsi Max soda.[3][1] The ad was "developed with the collaboration of the Ignition Factory, a division of the Omnicom Group's OMD media agency". However, the ad would only appear in magazines sent to subscribers based in the New York and Los Angeles; subscribers based elsewhere and people buying it from newsstand would not be able to enjoy it.[4]

In the UK, the October 2012 issue of Marie Claire was the first to use a video-in-print advertising, a 45-second clip for a Dolce and Gabbana fragrance. Procter & Gamble, which had been licensed to produce the fragrance, placed the ad through advertising agency MediaCom.[5]

In fiction

It has been compared to The Daily Prophet, the newspaper described in the Harry Potter books,[6] as well as the newspapers featuring streaming updates in Steven Spielberg's Minority Report.[1]
