Is Gamification The Future Of Advertising? Heres How One Company Is Shaking Up The Industry

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga

In the early 90s and even 2000s, ads were a key part of consuming media and advertising was, in a way, fun. Commercials were part of the popular culture monolith and it was clear that advertising budgets were spent with intention. Ask any 90s kid, and they can quote the most popular ads of the time, whether that is Tony the Tigers Theyre G-r-r-reat! or Verizons (NYSE: VZ) Can you hear me now? Today, the landscape of ads has changed, and the overall feeling is not one of enjoyment but rather fatigue.

Advertising seems to be missing its mark for the majority of viewers. While ads have always been looked at through the lens of doubt, only 4% of people in a recent study by Inc. Magazine believed they were trustworthy. Not to mention, people feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of ads they are exposed to on a daily basis, which makes them more likely to tune them out. Additionally, the cultural significance of advertising has diminished due to the increasing amount of ads on the internet, and most ads are not viewed as entertaining or effective at selling products. There has also been recent discourse that criticizes the rise of "woke-wash" advertising or makes false claims about social or environmental responsibility just for profit.

Its harder to reach audiences, the cost of marketing is going up, the number of channels has exponentially proliferated and the cost to cover all of those channels has proliferated, Jay Pattisall, the lead author of a recent advertising report, shared in an interview. Its a continual pressure for marketers were no longer just creating advertising campaigns three or four times a year and running them across a few networks and print.

Mike’s Outdoor Maintenance & Tree Removal Expands Capabilities With Powerful 85-Foot Boom to Handle High-Risk Tree Work

Published

on

The Monticello local company Mike’s Outdoor Maintenance & Tree Removal just added an 85-foot boom truck to its equipment lineup. The family-owned tree service company can now take on high-risk removals with more efficiency.

Monticello, NY, United States, 23rd Nov 2025 – Monticello, NY, is blessed with tall trees, such as American Sycamore, Red Maple, Silver Maple, Tulip Poplar, and Dawn Redwood that often grow 60 to 80 feet. Property owners in the region often find it difficult to arrange for proper trimming and removal. The height makes the task highly complex and risky. Most local equipment reaches only 60 feet, maybe less. That gap forced residents to either hire expensive crane operators or wait weeks for specialized crews to arrive from other areas. Mike’s Outdoor Maintenance & Tree Removal added a new 85-foot boom that gives them access to dangerous trees at heights that were out of reach before.

The company has worked in the tri-county area for years and knows how to handle emergency storm damage, routine trimming, stump grinding, and complete tree removals. Their tree care professionals have built a reputation for quality tree service across Monticello, Scotchtown, Middletown, Orange Lake, Honesdale, Hawley, and dozens of smaller communities. They have trained team members to safely operate the boom. The team uses equipment matched to the job requirements, including crane assistance when the situation calls for it. Customers will receive detailed estimates for tree work needing assistance with this giant 85-foot boom. 

“We kept running into situations where trees were just too tall for standard equipment,” a crew leader said. “Homeowners would call us about a dying tree near their house, and we’d have to tell them we couldn’t reach the top safely. That didn’t sit right with us. The 85-foot boom changes everything. We can position ourselves exactly where we need to be and bring down those trees piece by piece without putting anyone at risk or tearing up the yard below.”

Residents have learned they can count on this local company when trees become dangerous. The owner assures them that they will work around the clock and offer the boom’s service anytime during emergencies. As a local team, they understand local needs very well and are determined to meet them. Their local knowledge matters when a 60-year-old maple or pine starts showing signs of trouble or a hemlock develops a dangerous lean.
