Today's Internet user is savvy. Interacting on social networks and using the latest Web 2.0 online tools is second nature to them. Your target audience spots a flashy banner or out-of-place text ad in an instant.

Informative, entertaining, and relevant content is what will ultimately reach them and encourage interaction with your brand message. Your audience is hungry for this type of campaign: In a January 2007 study, 70% of respondents said they are interested in receiving personalized advertising online.* They want more interactivity and more control.

MI7

Sweden-based music distributor MI7 owns one of the most active social communities for musicians in Europe. As part of their campaign to promote the community, they launched an online song contest. Sway's concept for attracting entrants and new members to the community is an interactive ad unit that automatically updates on several external social networks. With each new entry to the contest, all ad placements update with the latest musician's photo, name, and an audio clip of their song creating draw to the contest.
