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.
