TechCrunch Picks isocket For Direct Ad Sales
We are very excited to announce and welcome TechCrunch as the newest addition to our private Beta! Just in case you are new to the internet, TechCrunch is one of the largest, most influential blogs in the tech and start-up world and is read by over 2 million people per day.
We are honored that TechCrunch would choose isocket to power their ad sales. They see a lot of technology companies and had their pick of the litter, so their faith in us was humbling and motivating. You can read their announcement about isocket here.
If you’d like to be a part of our private Beta as well, you should sign up for the waiting list on our homepage! We’ll be sending out invites on a first-come, first-serve basis in the coming weeks and months.
You should definitely take a look at TechCrunch’s ad sales pages. Here is the direct sales page on their website and here is their isocket profile / Media Kit page. They are also offering a 20% launch discount on all their ads! If you make your purchase during the month of May, you can apply this discount to any campaign through the end of 2009!
One of the coolest things that the TechCrunch team wanted to accomplish by moving their ad sales onto isocket was to make it easier for more advertisers, especially start-ups, to have the chance to advertise on TC.
Since isocket makes it easier to buy and sell advertising, TC is able to offer more options, including new ad packages that run for a day. For example, you can promote the launch of your startup or product by purchasing all of the premium ads on TechCrunch’s main page for one day, and all it takes is a few clicks on isocket (you can watch a video sneak peak here)!
We’d like to thank TC head hacker Henry Work for sourcing and championing us, Heather Harde for giving us the chance, and Michael Arrington for supporting startups both on and within TechCrunch. Laguna is pretty awesome too. They work hard over there but have a great time doing it.
