Online advertising is NOT just about banners.
The Internet advertising arena is constantly changing with the introduction of New and innovative advertising solutions such as Rich Media, Geographically-Targeted and behaviourally-targeted advertising. Interactive media buying requires an increasing level of expertise due to the greater complexities involved, and executing an effective Internet advertising campaign becomes more challenging, as opposed to easier. In addition to this, when compared to traditional media advertising, online media has varied standards and inconsistent advertising opportunities, Internet ad campaigns generally require the design of the media plan before the ad creative process can effectively begin.

Case Studies
YouReportTV.com
An exciting new platform for consumers to upload, broadcast and debate news which they have personally generated, commonly referred to as “citizen news” or “citizen journalism”. Social news sites have become increasingly popular on the internet; however, a site which empowers the general public to easily publish timely news was not available a the time that YRTV launched. YouReportTV.com evangelizes the concepts – “Your News is Good News” and “If it’s News to You, It’s News for Us”
Brief
Our mission, which we chose to accept, was to establish raise awareness of the brand amongst their target audiences and to initiate the growth of their registered users and story contributors.
Pain Points
The concept of Citizen News is still relatively new – people are happy to upload personal content across the web, but don’t necessarily see that content as newsworthy…they aren’t “journalists “. Wee needed to produce ad creative and messages that would encourage people to visit the site and start to recognize that daily incidents in their lives could be news worthy
We utilized the following
- Banners
- MPU’s
- Fan & Group Pages

- Deliver a cracking ROI for our client
So, how did we do?
