What is BrandBlather.com?
BrandBlather.com is a destination web site for thought leaders in the world of marketing. Our goal is simple -- to serve the information needs of strategic marketers and executives who want to know what’s hip, what’s happening and what marketing innovators are doing right now to grow their businesses.

Intelligent marketers choose BrandBlather.com for delivering a select, highly sought-after target market –- chief marketing officers, marketing opinion leaders and senior marketing management at leading agencies and companies all over the world.

Advertising Availability
A significant part of BrandBlather.com’s appeal is the lack of advertising clutter on our site.  Our charter –- to present highly relevant and targeted marketing news and information –- requires us to place the user experience first. Thus, we currently offer only one advertising position at the top of our web site. This position allows for the placement of a leaderboard banner measuring 728x90 pixels or a standard banner measuring 468x60 pixels. This ‘top of the page’ position is available on an exclusive sponsorship basis or as a part of a rotation with other advertisers.

Rate Card
Our Rate Card is available to advertisers, media buyers and advertising agencies upon request. To request a BrandBlather.com rate card, please contact us at info@movingmindsllc.com by providing your company's name, your e-mail address and a telephone number where we may reach you.

Ad Specifications
BrandBlather.com allows redirects to all known, reputable third-party ad serving systems. Advertisers who may be currently using proprietary ad servers or other systems will need to use a reputable, third-party ad serving solution. If a relationship does not exist with a third-party provider, Brandblather.com can provide ad serving capabilities via our own ad serving system.

Important notes about Shockwave Flash: For Shockwave Flash files, the files must be delivered to BrandBlather.com with the landing page URL embedded in the file; BrandBlather.com is unable to alter Flash files to add the landing page URL.

Also, for Flash files, we need a default, non-Flash ad (we suggest an animated .gif file) to display in case the user does not have Flash installed on their computer; while most individual users have Flash installed, many of our users are viewing the site on workplace computers which are more likely to not have Flash installed.
