Looking At ad:tech Swag: Who Has the Best?

We roamed the massive ad:tech conference floor in New York and wanted to provide a look at what kind of freebies aka “swag” the exhibitors were giving away at their booth.

Are you sick of another stress ball, pen or paperweight? Click continued to see what we found, including Google’s silly putty (shown above) and much more.

Above is a “flavored vodka shot and mint combo.” The exhibitor told me they wanted to be the “mad scientists” of the online advertising industry, hence the mix. We then overheard someone say “the blue one is deadly.”

A nice wool hat, although it was pretty warm in NYC for November.

PermissionTV’s George Miguel shows off their chap-stick and luggage tags.

Lots of people do “stress balls” or other squishy items, however we thought these car designs were cool.

Mints: commonplace, but useful.

Lots of t-shirts to give away. But will people wear them?

How about a fake $100 bill?

Fox put together a handy “mini-office” kit with a stapler, staples, tape, scissors. Could be useful for when you need to do a MacGyver style fix to your booth or marketing materials.

Of course, no conference would be complete without “The Cashinator.”

This exhibitor opted to have margarita machines to lure in the crowds.
