So why are games such a hot topic in ad-land?  We believe the future of gaming in advertising is beyond petty points and badges. Games are successful because they enable people to experience things normally impossible in everyday life. For the future of advertising, new mobile technology will tie gaming and reality closer together allowing the creation of brand experiences that elevate reality in a new and inspiring way.</span></p>http://ideasareawesome.com/post/17326624396http://ideasareawesome.com/post/17326624396Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:57:09 -0500space150trending the futuremobiletrendsadvertisingbusinessgaminggamesgamification<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/35870502?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>A montage of shots from above in Wes Anderson films.
