"Advertising? It's not going anywhere," a top ad exec told me over a private dinner at CES, which just kicked off in Vegas. "Advertising and cockroaches will outlive humans."

While I don't disagree with the cockroach analogy, advertising is definitely going somewhere new.

On its face, this shift may look tame.
