Posted in: UncategorizedFree Dr. Pepper Fail
Posted in: UncategorizedRemember how Dr. Pepper said they’d give everyone a free can of the goodness if Guns N’Roses released their forthcoming album ‘Chinese Democracy’ (which was nearly two decades in them making) in 2008? Yeah, well, that’s not going so well.
Yesterday the record was released, and people started flooding Dr. Pepper’s Web site (drpepper dot com slash freedrpepper), and it’s basically crashed, completely.
When we attempted to reach the site, we got a ‘Service Unavailable’ error. Hey Code and Theory, how about a blast server? Oh well. The soda maker released a statement earlier today saying that due to massive Web issues, it would honor the free DP offer through 6 p.m. today. This could get messy.

Posted in: UncategorizedBanner Up
Posted in: UncategorizedWith ROI ever-looming over CMOs shoulders, Mike Shields at Mediaweek slices and dices the varying discussions happening today on the effectiveness of online banner advertising.
Personally, I believe the problem with leaning too heavily on cost-per-click analysis, is the fact that banners can work for the brand without being clicked. Their presence is still there, being felt, like a print ad in a magazine.
Here’s what some others have to say:
- Greg March, digital group director at Wieden+Kennedy, says, “Internet ads are small and out of the way. Advertisers want to deliver impact, and I don’t think the impact for these ads is always that strong.”
- Carrie Frolich, managing director, digital media at MEC Interaction, believes display advertising’s greatest challenge is not the placements themselves—or even faulty brand metrics—but, rather, the medium’s fundamental economic model. “The industry is still focused on impressions as a currency,” she said. “People are not impressions.”
- Vivek Shah, group digital president at Time Inc., agrees. “We have the ability, more than any other medium, to show who you reach, but we’ve sold placements on Web pages,” he said. “I would like to see a pricing model that is based on audience.”
Speaking of audience-based pricing, we have a pretty nice audience gathered here each day and we’d like to thank Talent Zoo for four years of rock solid display advertising business.
We’d also like to invite more sponsors.

Posted in: UncategorizedFarm Fresh Promo Gets To The Root
Posted in: UncategorizedGo to “Help Grow Your Soup” and click on the little red barn. When you do, Campbell Soup Company will put a dollar towards an effort to support the future of American agriculture – the nation’s largest employer.
The soup maker is partnering with Future Farmers of America and Grammy-nominee Jewel and will donate $250,000 to champion FFA efforts (whether you click or not), which encourage America’s youth to participate in agriculture education programs.
“Campbell has always been committed to delivering the best, most nourishing foods possible. We cherish the relationships we have with American farming families, many of which have lasted for generations, and we fully recognize that our future success is dependent on the people and the places that help grow the quality ingredients that go into our soups,” said Eric Christianson, business director for Campbell’s condensed soups.
Whenever possible, the company sources ingredients from farmers located within 100 miles of its production facilities, enabling it to use fresh ingredients, reduce the environmental impacts of transportation, and
support the economies of local farming communities.
