Toshiba, while working with advertising agency Young and
Rubicam, tapped The Aura Group for their recent campaigns that
involved their laptops. These banner ads were all rich-media based
and were heavily based off of user interaction. The Aura Group
developed the ads that highlighted many different aspects of the
laptops that included the sleep and charge feature. This feature
was highlighted in a video inside the advertisement.
The rich-media banner expanded to showcase six different videos
explaining the many different features of the laptops. Having this
many videos in a banner advertisement is tricky and also load
intensive, so The Aura Group worked especially hard to make sure
the videos flowed effortlessly when opened in the expandable banner
and also consciously kept the file size down to make sure that many
different users could experience the banners within the ads. With
the six different videos included in the advertisement it allowed
users to learn a lot about the laptops all in one place, before
having to click over to the actual Toshiba website. This allowed
for tracking of user click-thru stats and also really kept the user
active within the banner for a solid period of time.
