The catalyst you need to connect to your audience, Fusion Ads aims to provide a way to distribute your messages to an impressionable audience of web and creative professionals at a low price point.

Advertisers

Fusion aims to provide advertisers with a targeted and effective platform to distribute their messages to an influential audience at an affordable price. We invite advertisers to make well-designed ads that are attractive to our readers. If you're interested in scheduling an ad or have further questions, contact us via email.

Targeted Audience

With over 8,000,000 relevant impressions a month to a distinct audience of designers, creators, and productivity gurus, Fusion is the most efficient way to target and deploy ads that will reach across thirty-two well-established sites and services to each of their dedicated readerships.

Premium Advertising

Fusion rethinks traditional advertising by offering well-designed, premium advertisements to an engaged audience. The distinguishing factor between Fusion and typical ad networks is that only a single Fusion ad is shown per page, and each ad is displayed prominently 'above the fold' on all sites in the network. There are currently fifteen advertisement spots available, and with the exception of "roadblocks", all ads rotate equally between each of the thirty-two sites and services.

While this is contrary to the traditional wisdom of advertising — cramming as many ads as possible on a page — we believe that the value of Fusion's ads are that they're exclusive. With a single, unobtrusive ad shown on each page, sponsors don't have to compete for attention among other advertisers, and readers don't feel insulted by flashy banner ads.

Effective & Affordable

We believe that by fusing quality content with premium advertisements we can create the ideal platform to distribute and communicate your messages — and a big part of that is being affordable. Fusion offers the greatest value, quality ads at a cost-effective and attractive price point.

Purchasing a Fusion ad gives you a month of exclusive access to a community of loyal readers that are interested in your product. Fusion ads include a 130 by 100 pixel image and an additional 80 characters of text. All animation is forbidden. The current rate is $950 USD per ad per month, and is valid through July 31st, 2009.

"Roadblocks" are also available for those who want to get a little bit more out of their ad campaigns. Essentially, advertisers are given exclusive access to 100% of the ad impressions of the entire network over the course of a single day — ideal for product or service launches. Roadblocks are available for $950 USD per day.
