For example, in the UK the government have paid for adverts to "nudge" the public into behaviours which they deem correct. i.e. if you buy fireworks or candles, your Alexa might be supplied with fire safety information.
Of course this always goes well and never backfires. Like for example when the government bought loads of ad space next to EDM music to warn listeners not to carry a knife — instead the amount of knife carriers increased because the adverts increased the perception of how many people carried knives.

There are loads of little nudges like these. Arrows painted on paths, the painted flies in urinals for men to piss at, anti-drink-driving campaigns.
