VentureBeat: New ads in new places

  • Kedar · 3 years ago
    Second area is pretty much search and requires again, urge to search for pizza. I think better we serve, as daily need basis, incorporate ad into those activities, that could be killer model. e.g. I buy groceries from local Safeway or something. To change my habit, use something to provide me something which will attract me towards other store. Or better, Safeway more business in any case, that is ad served on my habit without feeling me bombarded.

    WorldNetCast--The Internet Broadcast Network
    Overview
    September 2006
    WorldNetCast is a next generation internet broadcast network based on a geocentric online TV strategy which integrates a branded TV network ranging from metro broadcast portals to micro targeted communities.WorldNetCast provides a true multi-hundred channel location-based Internet broadcast network with local/regional branded channels globally and deliverable to all mobile platforms.

    .In summary, WorldNetCast replicates the local affiliate dynamics of broadcast TV as it originated in the 1950s, except utilizing location-based proper names instead of local call letters. (For example, CaliforniaTV.org, SouthernCaliforniaTV.com, LANewsTV.com, LALocalTV.com, LosAngelesNewsTV.com rather than KNBC-Channel4 LosAngeles.) With over 300 B2B and B2C channels, in the top 50 DMAs, scaling to over 1100 channels by year end, with full availability to mobile platforms, this is the next iteration of the video-enabled Net as we see it. WorldNetCast enables a much more dynamic presence for municipal/state/pan-regional news,information, entertainment and social networking

    WorldNetCast provides the distribution infrastructure, content aggregation within online TV channels and comprising ad units ranging from 30 seconds to 30 minute documercial/advertorials. Utilizing our Omniview platform for high impact TV streaming--no waiting-no software downloads, WorldNetCast also links to municipal/state/regional economic development agencies, Chambers of Commerce, convention & visitor bureaus and tourism groups to cross promote these channels. Additionally, we have aligned with DRTV/ PR and marketing groups paying us for placement of their content to reach specific demographic zones within our highly targetable network, ranging from metro regions to clustered zip codes by specific communites.

    Nice summary by Baris.

    I think there will be a great opportunity for companies to create destination sites where advertisers can be integrated as part of the content (something we look for at Formative Ventures), to the point if you asked people "What do you think of the ads on this page?", their reply might be "What ads?"

    Next gen online ads, just like many offline ones, should provide subjective quality elements to allow consumers to make a choice. Imagine an online ad for a local restaurant where the daily specials, online review or integrated coupons are merely part of the ad - the consumer benefits by perusing the ad and can make a choice to become a customer, and the advertiser wins these customers by being creative and informative. Let's get these ads to prompt action by the consumers.

    New media / same challenge. How to get advertising noticed, engage the viewer/consumer and move them to the desired action. Same problem: How to move above the clutter and get past the conumers' 'Tivo mentality' of bypassing ads everywhere. Ads as content or integrated into content has great potential. Solve the challenge and the payoff, especially in the virtual world, will be enormous.

    All customers want is love--they will tolerate the indiginity of eyeballnapping as long as they feel it is done with respect. Product placements done without affection will be a turn off.

    Do digital magazines have a role in these new online advertising models?
  • Maizal Munif · 3 years ago
    The Escape Pollution Project attempts to capture online advertising dollars by bringing offline local advertising to an online global audience in a unique way.

    "For Escape Pollution, the motivation aims towards protecting the environment and promoting the local cities as tourist destinations. The benefit to advertisers of brand recognition (environmentally friendly) is more prominent on the Escape Pollution site. The project also promotes the Ford Escape Hybrid and Hybrid vehicles in general."

    Clint,
    Couldn't agree with you more.

    Wayne,
    Of course digital magazines. Especially if they can somehow be integrated into virtual worlds.

    Will mobile phones become another way for advertisers to reach you? With Europe ahead in mobile technology, will the US now focuses on Mobile. Giving yet another venue for ads to reach the youth demographic?
  • Jo,SanKu · 3 years ago
    "Ads as very personalized information or content" will bring another revolution in online advertisement. Search Engines as key information channels will be ultimate winners. They could position as anything when Ads is something far beyond current Ads.
    There might be people who would subscribe to Ads because of their value.

    Good story. Am curious about the lack of mention regarding RSS. Any comment?
    Thanks
  • Baris Karadogan · 3 years ago
    RSS is a great tool that one can imagine playing a role in all three kinds of ads, one of which could be subscribing to in game events. Sounds like you have something in mind already, could you elaborate?
