They can be literally anywhere and everywhere. This form of advertising flaunts creativity at its best. You could stumble upon one at any step. It could be in any part of your city, country or the world.

Traditional media such as newspapers, radio and TV reach out to millions but the form is slowly dying out. It’s harder than ever to catch a consumer’s attention now.
