Video Advertising
Whether you’re small business is involved in online marketing or you just want to advertise your business online here is something that might interest you.
I know that Google has been experimenting with video ads but they don’t seem to be having much success with them and the ones I’ve seen have looked rather clunky.
But today I was visiting Microsoft Watch and on this page I found this ad:

The ad is part of a rotating series so you might have to refresh the page a couple of times to get one in this series. When you visit the site don’t only press the ‘play’ button but also click inside the image and check out the video that you will find on that page too.
To my way of thinking these ads are how video ads should look - what do you think?

Nice catch. Yes those videos are awesome and well made. I think they are using a company called eyewonder to stream it.

Thanks for the tip Eric, Eyewonder - http://www.eyewonder.com - certainly does have an interesting site and an impressive array of publishers who display their ads.

A gentle introduction…
You may have an interest in noting the availability of the StreamerNet Mobile Video Producer for creating and delivering do-it-yourself video ads.
