Although Michael Jackson’s upcoming funeral will surely be a feeding frenzy for photographers, it’ll be hard to beat this photo op from today’s burial ceremony for TV pitchman Billy Mays. With their khakis and rolled-up long-sleeve blue shirts, the pallbearers gave a fitting homage to the uniform that was almost as memorable as Mays’ well-manicured beard. Mays died at his home June 28 from apparent natural causes. According to the Associated Press , which distributed the photo, Mays’ eulogy covered everything from childhood memories to his devout Christian faith to his personal mantras like, “Life’s a pitch, and then you buy.” —Posted by David Griner

A couple of years ago I was wowed by a smart banner from Orbitz that knew where I was flying.? Just came across a very similar executioin from Travelocity. Do people respond better to this personalized targeting, do you know? —————- I’m reading The Advertising Research Handbook .
T he Online Publishers Association has created three new ad units that rolled out this morning. These units include: The Fixed Panel : 336 wide x 700 tall, remains constant as the user scrolls to the top and bottom of the page The XXL Box : 468 wide x 648 tall, opens for seven seconds to 936 wide x 648 tall with 1/24x frequency The Pushdown: 970 wide x 418 tall, opens to display the advertisement and then after seven seconds rolls up to 970 wide x 66 tall, with 1/24x frequency. It’s only fitting that these ads rolled out approximately 1 week after the OPA released their study, “ Online Publishers Association Study Shows Consumers Exposed to Display Advertising Are More Engaged and Spend More Money Online .” These ad units will have immediate impact on proxies such as click-thru rate (I think this will be most affected) and interaction rate (similar to Rich Media numbers). I predict that we’re going to hear some very positive news comparing these units to traditional IAB standard display banners within the next week or two. I’m excited that publishers are coming together and creating new units and by banding together, helps advertisers give scale to their campaigns. Some early adopters of these units are: Bank of America will run the Pushdown on CNN.com and Time.com Cleveland Clinic will run the Fixed Panel on NYTimes.com CNA is running the Pushdown on Bizjournals.com Frito-Lay ran the Pushdown on Discovery’s PlanetGreen.com in the second quarter of 2009 Mercedes-Benz will run various OPA units on FOXSports.com, msnbc.com, NYTimes.com, Reuters.com, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post Lets keep this in mind when evaluating the OPA units: They are new and intrusive, so user engaged metrics are going to be high, especially at first Take advantage of the canvas, don’t just resize a 300X250 for the sake of making it bigger. Be interactive. Does the cost of running these units map to performance? I’m guessing the performance is going to be extremely high at first, but over time, evaluate. Because these ads are so large, it’s more important than ever that they are extremely relevant to the individual viewing them. The “piss-off” factor with these units could will be high. Please keep this in mind and use your creative strategically here. I’m going to get really excited about these units when they can be bought/sold on exchanges so that I can map my own audiences and data to them, eliminating the “piss-off” factor. While these units have sizzle for eye-catching size and sexyness, these don’t help me reach a very specific audience, as these are currently only 2 dimensional (creative + media). Audiences isn’t just site aggregated, it’s much more refined than that. More on the 3rd dimension in coming days.
