Short answer

Burst advertising is the concentration of heavy media weight into a short, intense period to create rapid impact, such as for a product launch or seasonal peak. It builds awareness quickly and can cut through clutter. The trade-off is that brand presence may fade between bursts unless supported by other activity.
