Many of the “World’s Largest NES Controllers” are simply for show, and don’t actually work. This one, however, not only works, but takes more than one person to operate. Imagine playing Super Mario Bros. with your friend, as the same player.
Mixing Media for Maximum Potential
Advertising and marketing in this new age of multimedia has fused together so many different diverse disciplines.
Print, radio, television, billboard, direct mail, web, social networking, mobile, outdoor etc …
These are just some main avenues to consider, not to mention how many of these sliver into other areas. So, what are some ways to combine these into one idea? Ikea has recently done a great job of mixing a number advertising and marketing areas into one action:

On one hand, it’s a great tool to let visitors experience your services without risk. More people can visit you more easily than before, a great way to reach the local community. It can also be a great tool for church members who are ill, out-of-town, and even foreign missionaries.
However, with those positives, there are some negatives.
A whole pool of believers regularly attend churches via weekly streams and daily blog posts, yet never step foot on campus; forgoeing all opportunities to develop servant-hood and engaging in deep discipleship. Online church is a great portal, not a great sanctuary.
