So how exactly<br />

traditional<br />

marketing<br />

methods? To start with, nonlinear marketing is a strategic<br />

passive experiences of consumers but allows them to be active<br />

participants. Take for instance the Red Bull br<strong>and</strong>. Instead of the<br />

makes itself part of the consumer's life through events, sports<br />

endorsements, <strong>and</strong> sports team ownerships. By doing so, they can<br />
