Netflix trapped a guy in a billboard for 72 hours to promote a movie about being trapped — that's not marketing, that's a job interview for their writers' room.

He communicated via whiteboard. The movie, about a family trapped at home, arrives amid growing backlash against invasive, spectacle-driven marketing.
