Will Sansom, a writer for Contagious Magazine, discusses innovative advertising in the "post-digital" world. He describes StickyBits, an app that allows users to interact with comments left by other users of any barcode they scan. "The best brands and advertisers now are the ones who make sure, even if their work is really beautifully integrated across all these multiple digital touch points, that at the middle of all of it is a human truth."
