Why the Vibrant Awards?
Since Vibrant Media was founded in 2000, the industry has embraced contextual advertising. The launch of Vibrant Video in 2006 took in-text and contextual video advertising to the next level, enabling advertisers to use video to reach audiences in a relevant contextual environment. The Vibrant Awards enables us to recognize these efforts and share them with you.

What is in-text advertising?
Vibrant in-text advertising highlights words in web content, aligning specific keywords with relevant brand messages. When a user mouse’s over the trigger word or phrase, an ad appears. Users are in complete control of that ad – they can click through to the landing page beyond, or not. Through the Vibrant Media Word Ownership Program, advertisers can cut through the online advertising clutter by exclusively securing their brand words across the internet.

Who entered the 2008 Vibrant Awards?
If you are an agency in the USA, UK, Germany or France or an advertiser that has carried out a Vibrant in-text or contextual video advertising campaign then you should enter. Simply tell us how in-text advertising contributed to your overall campaign strategy and about the effectiveness and creativity of your campaign.

Vibrant received over 150 entries from agencies in the USA, UK, Germany and France for its 2008 Vibrant Awards.
