Brief Summary

I need banner advertisements for a gold company that will advertise on CNN.com in August.

I was planning on running standard flash ads for the rectangle ad or REALLY eye catching designs.

The sizes are 300x250 or 336x280.

    Everyone - I want you to try and make it more "clean." Try using a white background with a clean picture and the words "Are You Secure?" and/or "Secure Your Capital. Secure Your Future"

    I just received a brochure that we will be using.

    If you want me to email a pdf file of the brochure, just let me know.

    We like the look and the feel of the brochure - it is filled with good photos, open spaces, and has a fresh feel.

    Since EVERYONE in the gold industry has overused the black and gold colors, we have opted to go with a more crisp and clean brand (much like Apple).

    Since the talking points are virtually the same for all gold companies, we are trying to differentiate ourselves in the "wrapping."

    We are really trying to push their tag line -

    Secure Your Capital.
    Secure Your Future.

    This line conveys the current investment (Capital), and growth in years to come (Future. Retirement.)

    Some of the banners could say something like "Secure Your Capital.
    with a Call Today or Click Here for Details below". They could also be rotation banner between the "Secure Your Capital" and "Secure Your Future."

    If you wanted to get more provocative you could make them questions - Is YOUR Capital Secure? How Secure is YOUR Future?

    I've decided that I don't like to say anything about "big returns"... I like "security" better.
