World Discount Telecommunications (WDT), a global provider of discount local, long-distance and international landline and wireless calling services, is among the first large-enterprise advertisers to run a rich-media interactive advertising campaign on NeXplore Search utilizing the NeXplore Ads platform.
"Pay per click is great, but we're just as interested in post-click conversion and building our brand with engaging, memorable impressions," said Irene Mazur, senior vice president of marketing for WDT. "The NeXplore Ads platform makes campaign creation and management a breeze. The ability to launch a creative and strategic blend of SERP sponsored links, banners and interactive rich-media ads is a definite plus."
Scott Grizzle, chief marketing officer for NeXplore Corporation, said, "Findings from a May 2007 IAB study show that text-based search ads account for 40 percent of all online advertising. The same IAB study notes that display ads -- which include traditional banner ads as well as a wide variety of rich-media and interactive ad formats -- make up another 40 percent of online ads. You've got to be blind not to see that direct response and brand advertising are set for a head-on collision. The challenge is to create an integrated online destination and ad platform that empowers marketers to harness the enormous advertising force unleashed when these two worlds collide."
Grizzle added, "From concept to rollout, NeXplore Ads and NeXplore Search were built to provide marketers with an unprecedented ability to execute search campaigns with an optimal mix of direct response and brand-building ads, and to deliver to consumers a distinctively rich and uniquely satisfying search experience. The feedback we're getting from pilot advertisers and consumers is very encouraging. We're looking forward to ramping-up sales and marketing activity in support of NeXplore Ads and NeXplore Search over the next several weeks and months."
