Founded in 2004, they have the largest 3D-based user-generated virtual goods catalog consisting of more than 30 million items. They’re also known as one of the leading practitioners of the lean startup approach.

Project Description


Here we initially tested a few different taglines, models, clothing, and backgrounds using the 300x250 format. After determining which combination produced the best results additional ad sizes were created. Eventually localized versions for ten different geo-tarted audiences as well. Versions were also created to blend in with specific web site placements so they didn't stand out as being ads too much.
