Das in den USA sehr populäre Videoblog Rocketboom versteigerte auf eBay.com sein allererstes Werbeplätzchen. Für die läppische Summe von 40.000 USD.
The winning bid is from TRM, an ATM and photocopy services company. Andrew Baron, the co-founder of Rocketboom says they aren’t saying more about the ads right now, but are „scrambling around to try and work another couple of deals from some of the other bidders.“
Andrew ist auch schon fleissig dabei, natürlich die nächsten Werbekunden reinzuholen, nach diesem Erfolg kein Wunder:
He says he’s amazed by how many major US brands stepped forward. But they couldn’t get everything lined up in the short time Rocketboom wanted to do the ads (early next month) „So maybe today we will land another contract and maybe next week a couple.“
