The Dot Coms Who Stuck With The Super Bowl
from the sticking-it-out dept
Wasn't there a joke about dot coms spending their entire marketing budget on the Super Bowl? Well, it seems that three dot coms are sticking by their Super Bowl advertising strategy. Monster.com, HotJobs, and E*Trade (the only three "dot coms" who advertised during last year's Super Bowl) are all back again this year with pricey ads. They all say the ads work very well for them - but mostly because they follow it up with a solid marketing strategy beyond just Super Bowl ads.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
