The Advertising Experiment
This is Mike.
Mike is a talented graphic designer here at Starmedia.
Every now and then Mike gets frustrated.
So, I was thinking to myself that graphic designers are sort of behind the scenes and people often don't even think or appreciate the amount of work that designers have to put in to make customers look good. They deserve to get some attention. Ergo, I thought I would involve one of them in my new hair-brained experiment. One of my coworkers, Jimmy Jet, drew this picture of Mike, our designer, during one of our daily meetings and I thought, can you make an ad out of anything? Let's find out.
Therefore... the Advertising Experiment 2007.
How to participate: You take this drawing of Mike and do whatever you'd like to it to turn it into an advertisement. You can advertise anything you'd like, but it has to look good and serve to potentially sell your product or service. Submit a tagline to go below this drawing or create Mike a slogan if you'd like. Be creative! It can say anything you'd like, but it has to "advertise" something. Have some fun.
The Rules: You can submit as many original "ads" as you'd like. You can even change the image to suit your needs, but the original picture has to be somewhere in your advertisement. Email me your advertisements to kate@starmedia.ca
The Duration: May 31 - June 14, 2007
What you "win": While this isn't a contest per se, I would love to see what people come up with, so I will post the top 10 "Mike ads" up along with your blog's URL. You get some extra traffic and we all get to see some interesting advertisements.
Have a great Thursday. I'll be adding another advertising advice post soon.

ah ah this sounds like a really good idea!!! and a good way to advertise ur own blog!
You have given a good way to advertise websites. After launching of website, how can a people know about website. We have to promote that in many ways like blogging, submitting articles, giving advertisement on other websites etc. This helps us for promoting and increasing the Page Rank of website. I have promoted my own website through Global Women Community that gives us important information about advertising website and products. A Global Women Community provides new tips at www.braveheartwomen.com.
I think paintings that have a hidden message are very effective and attractive.
It must be admitted that your explanation is very easy to take in. You share so brilliant ideas here and I expect in the future much more bright articles from you. I am sure that most of your observations are true.
