Well, maybe it’s a little more than a coat of paint.
Welcome to the new digs of team Fusion. When we first launched in November of last year, our needs for a website were simple. We wanted to give one concise page of who we were and what we were doing. With the help of Cameron.io, we had a page that met those needs.
But in the past 8 months, Fusion has exploded. Our needs grew a little. Okay, a lot. Add that to the fact that we’ve got some exciting plans for the next few months and suddenly we needed to make some changes.
Then fortune shone on us and one Mr. Elliot Jay Stocks tweeted that he was available for some work. So I said to Michael, “Michael, let’s shoot for the moon and see if Elliot would be interested.” Turns out he was.
A couple of months later, here we are. And we couldn’t be happier with Elliot’s work — what a pro! And a cheerful chap to boot. If you want awesome work accompanied with a professional demeanor, you won’t find anyone better than this guy. Thanks for the great job Elliot.
The new design was planned with the future in mind. One of the major changes will come to the light in the next few months.
The other was to focus on the different options we offered to our customers. On the home page, you can now see the three different advertising options we offer. Each has its own selling points, but all are great value.
We heard a lot of stories about how hard it is to coordinate the approval and release of an iPhone app with an ad spot to gain exposure. “We’d like a June ad spot, but we’re not sure if our app is going to get rejected …” is the gist of what we often heard. And so, after some thought, our Bursts were born.
Bursts are one-week spots that are flexible and affordable, suited to meet your needs, not ours. They’re a good option for those who want to test out our service without committing to a full month or who are promoting the launch of a new product. Add this option to our regular monthly spots and our roadblocks — another great option for promoting a launch — and a little Fusion panache, and we think we’ve got the best ad service around.
Lastly, dear readers, you have a huge role to play in what we do. We are one of you — what interests you interests us. Like many web-centric people are doing these days, we built for ourselves. Our aim is to advertise products that are of interest to us. Because if we like them, we know you will too.

So I heard that you. Might be starting a photography ad network for photographers and photography focused blogs, in the future. Is this true?

Hi guys, great design nice and simple. I’m just wondering: if some advertisers buy a monthly spot and then there is a company that buys a 4 days roadblock, how do you manage it? You give the monthly a 2 more days or they will pay less?
