MAGAZINE ADS : TWO SECONDS TO SELL!
Magazine ads provide identity branding and/or directly promote the sales and services. Ads are a powerful promotional tool when utilized correctly, but are a expensive investment in your company and therefore should be developed with experienced professionals at the helm.
An ad usually has only "2 seconds to sell" - that is, a reader glances over the material for an average of two seconds before deciding if he/she should read further. Therefore, the offer, concept, imagery and text must work in a clear and complementary hierarchy in order to attract the target audience.
