Banners and Rich Media

posted 02/23/08 by Rick Webb

Yes, we do banners and rich media. Yes, we still do. Yes, we love them. You know what? This whole viral marketing thing? It’s REALLY HARD. Want to gather an audience quickly and easily? Buy some banners. They still work. Maybe we’re all a little too over obsessed with clickthroughs and interaction rates and stuff – we recognize the value in all of that, of course. But a beautiful rich media piece can really move someone. I remember being moved by a banner before I ever even started this company. I remember thinking ‘wow, that is beautiful.’ It was 1996. Its still possible today. We believe that.

Here are some recent posts from our employees about Banners and Rich Media:

We are pleased as punch to learn today that Come Clean, which we made for Method (the soap company) with Crispin, Porter + Bogusky, just won the Interactive Grand Prix at Cannes. We also won a bronze for our Virgin Atlantic “Dreams” banner, made in conjunction with Crispin, and got shortlisted for the Dr. Angus site, made for Burger King with Crispin. Whew.
