advertising on Sonic control

The Power of Sonic Control Is Now Available to Advertisers.

With Sonic Control, you can finally take full advantage of the web's multimedia power and locate your ads on specific editorial pages. As an advertiser, you can also “talk up” your product, on our forums, while your ad campaign is in motion. Use this a great opportunity to build relationships with potential clients.

Video – Provide us with a 30-second spot, or up to a 2-minute video presentation for your product,library or service. If you need assistance, our affiliate, Too Good Studios, will produce one for you.

Audio – Harness the power of “radio” on Sonic Control with :30 up to 2:00 spots featuring information or audio demonstrations of your product or library. If you need assistance, our affiliate, Too Good Studios, will produce one for you.

Special Editiorial Page Placement – Because Sonic Control is a web magazine, you can place your ads on selected special section pages. Currently, these are: GigaStudio 3.0, Logic Environment, Cubase SX, and Inside the Recording Studio.

New Product Announcements – For press releases or new product announcements, please send them to press@soniccontrol.com.

eMailers – Based on CPM pricing, send us your info and we'll send out an e-mailer for you to our list. Or, buy ad space on our Sonic Control newsletter (begins January 2005).

Standard Banner Ads – We have those, too! (See below).

NAMM – Special for NAMM members. You know the drill – drag a bunch of flyers and catalogs to NAMM that everyone forgets or loses, and then calls and asks you to mail to them! Solve that problem with Sonic Control by posting your PDF brochure on our site (and reach both merchants and sales prospects who can't attend NAMM), or create a special multimedia presentation that potential customers can see at their own leisure.
