Better banners
A couple of months ago I wrote about banner ads for my Marketing magazine column.
Yesterday a comment was left on the article by Digital Sponge.
I thought I'd share it with you:
"There's nothing wrong with banners as a format - imagine them as miniature posters, with a bit of extra movement. If clients and agencies took them more seriously, then maybe the standard would go up.
However, at the moment, banners are added to a campaign last, when the client's purse is empty, used as a dumping ground for loads of stray tactical messages and made on such ridiculously low budgets that often the only option is repurposing existing assets.
Give banners some love, and maybe they'll love you back."
I think he's got a point. Don't you?

Stan,
I love this banner
I especially like the rain sound
it's so comforting
ahhhhh
cool
i couldn't get the whole experience, but i do agree that a really well-thought banner is a very good thing.
i've decided that, for my next trick, i'm going to design a good banner for my new NGO job.
or maybe i'll get some ad school students to do it as a project for us, hey stan.
