I agree with M's Ghada answers, Thanks for the invitation.
One of the most creative print advertisements that I have ever seen was this one by VolksWagen that used Augmented Reality to interact with potential consumers. The fact that viewer of the ad had to download an App to make the ad come to life meant that the brand succeeded in grasping the users attention.
