Advertainment

Where advertising and entertainment converge, Advertainment creates a lasting memory in the minds of viewers by engaging them through visual storytelling. Advertainment is a shift away from product-centric messaging and has become the most powerful strategy for marketers to create an authentic emotional connection with their brand.

Branded content or brand clips, commercials vignettes that are packaged like mini-movies and barely mention the advertiser’s name.
Brian Dnazis, Chief Revenue Officer at Virool was quoted saying "This is the year of advertainment!" More and more advertisers are shifting towards creating entertaining and meaningful advertainment rather than 15 - 30 second infomercials.

Adversaphor

1: a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is uttered in sincerity, but critical analysis reveals the opposite is true. When encountered, readers or listeners who possess the strange ability to think for themselves often experience symptoms ranging from mild disbelief to severe cognitive discomfort.

2: A portmanteau derived from the Latin words “Adversus” for opposite, and “Affor” to speak.
Adversaphor Examples:

Creationist: “Evolution is the biggest lie ever told. If we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?”

Right-winger: “americans’s are unedukated and stupid, that’s why thy voted for obama.”

Christian: “You atheists are soooo ignorant. Where is your scientific evidence that god doesn’t exist?”

Aryan dude: “All niggers are totally racist.”
