this guy again
i wrote about this guy in a previous post. i think this is either the owner of the company or the writer. this must be a bad joke. as an internet marketer, i would love to find out the click through rate of this campaign.
this guy again
now he’s showing up on facebook - and notice how the ‘dislike’ button is no longer there so i can’t even vote him out. has anyone EVER clicked on these banners? i for one haven’t - but then again i’m not a big on clicking on banners and it’s my business to create them. go figure.

we do a lot of work here at the visual mercenary group and many times it’s of a corporate nature. we really don’t mind, because we try to put creativity into everything we do. actually this past year we’ve been pretty busy but haven’t put up any of our new work on our online portfolio, nor have we written any blurbs about the project here on our blog. so i’m setting myself the task of writing a post a week on our past projects before, as we all know, the speed of the internet makes them defunct. there are already a couple of promotional micro sites we’ve done that are offline. but i digress…
ferndance
there are times that some of our projects are of a purely creative nature. through our association with the wesport academy of dance - whose website & blog we’ve designed and programmed - we have been introduced to many individuals and groups in the dance world. one of them is ferndance run by choreographer david fernandez. last month we put our two newly purchased sony ex1-r hd cameras (yes our credit card company was thrilled that day) to good use by shooting a short promo piece for david at the rehearsal studio at the mark morris center in brooklyn. we’re editing the video and will post it soon, but i just needed something to write about and thought i’d tease you with a couple of photos.now i know you’ll come back because you really should see these beautiful and talented ladies dance.

the worst banner ad i have ever seen
this must be a joke. i don’t have any idea why anyone would click on this ad. this is even worst that those stock dancing flash movies used in other crappy banners. first of all, the NYS driver’s license looks nothing like that. second, could they have used a worst image? this guy looks like he was born in 1884 not 1984 and drives a mule, not a car.
it only takes 3 dollars to buy an image from istock.com folks. the ad agency responsible for this should be fired - along with the client’s marketing department. c’mon people…all this money spent on media buys and this is the best creative you could get. the only thing they can probably say in their defense is that they save you money cause they don’t spend it on creative.
anybody have any worst banners…send them over.
