Blendtec

What better way to sell a $400 USD blender than show it blending all sorts of household items. Going back to the good old days of advertising where people actually demonstrated the products in the ads.

My fav is the bag of marbles into dust.

They've put together a site called Will it Blend (much more interesting than the Late Show's Will it Float) which contains all the videos and product information.

It's certainly entertaining and will put the Blendtec brand in front of millions of people without them having to spend millions on product placement, endorsements or traditional media. Great work.

Banners by Country Stats

Out of interest I went through the database and tallied what the breakdown of the countries is for all the banners posted on this site. The figures are not surprising. Note: this site started out as an Australia only site in the first 3-4 months so the Aussies had a major head start. Also with 100+ banners with the agency set as "Unknown" this could even up the stakes considerably.

With submissions increasing every week I see the Aussie's being out numbered in the next 3 months.

NOTE: I'm a dunce at Excel and that's why the graph is in reverse. Aus should be on top but I coudln't get it to go up there.

Deal signed with Eyeblaster

Proudly Supported by Eyeblaster

We are happy to announce we have received the go ahead from Eyeblaster to sponsor the site for the next 3 months. (Insert sound of party popper)

This is great news for all those people who like the site. There should be minimal changes to the site and it's great to see a company like Eyeblaster see the worth in the resource we have worked so hard to maintain the last year.

It not only means we now have a little bit of money to help maintain the site it also means we have the capital to continue to enhance it.

Also we'll be donating 25% of all sponsorship money to Oxfam Australia. We reserve the right to change the charity during the next round of sponsorship.
