Yahoo Rolls Out $100 Million Television Ad

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

You have to spend money to make money, and Yahoo will spend $100 million (or more) on its new marketing campaign, which formerly rolled out on Monday. As part of the pricey campaign, TV ads will begin airing on AMC, ESPN, USA, Comedy Central, Bravo, and several other broadcast networks in the U.S.

"You are about to enter a place. A place where time and space collide, and breed wonder, and joy, and wow. Where news travel faster, where friends come closer, and you go farther," Yahoo's new Anthem ad starts out.

The initial ad appears to be more about pushing the company's 'It's Y!ou' slogan than anything else, as there's no mention of specific Yahoo products or technologies. But according to Elisa Steel, Chief Marketing Officer for Yahoo, the search company is planning on rolling out some new products and promoting them through future ads.

Yahoo needs to stop hijacking home pages and intalling toolbars in browers of the non-vigilant. If you disable the Yahoo toolbar in Firefox it re-enables itself in one week unless you find the hidden setting to disable that too. How is that not malware?

The Yahoo! toolbar is less than honorable to say the least.

Also, advertising isn't going to compensate for sub-par products. Maybe they should have invested that $100 Million into increasing their infrastructure.

Google wins this round, sorry.
