RE: UKNM: Banner creative etc

[James Tarin]

Well, just because they may have almost got you to click on them, does not

mean that they were good at building brand recall I would have thought.


Anyway, from my own point of view I can hardly remember any that really

stood out. There was one from Gateway that had a cow-patterned milk float on

it that really attracted attention, and conveyed some real benefits to the

customer, and even had a real call to action (I think it was reviewed in

your magazine).


I also remember a bunch of e-business banners from IBM, but cannot remember

what they said.


Trouble with banners is that the brain seems to become accustomed to

filtering out that image which is always of the same size, and focuses more

heavily on the information or content. That's obviously not to say that this

happens to everybody, or that I have any statistical evidence to prove this

- just anecdotal evidence.
