Can you embed information with ads/propaganda that gets retrieved by aggregating search results on google?

Say I want to encode The Lord Of The Rings in HD but I dont want anyone to know that information is being hidden somewhere. So I launch an ad campaign to people of certain demographics expecting them to, eventually, type certain words into a search engine that I could, after some time, use to decode data that has been hidden in similiar, grass roots, ways?

The whole LOTR trilogy I bet you could be done by someone clever enough but I guarantee a few bytes could be done. Which means you could essentially hide information in peoples minds.

I guess my question is what are alternative ways to store binary information?

It is called Steganography: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography

You would have to manipulate, or at least predict, Google's ranking system, details per result, and so forth.
