Powermat Takes Over Gizmodo with Terrific Expansive Ad Campaign

Submitted by Ryan Spoon on October 15, 2009 – 2:59 pmComments

By now, you may have heard about Powermat – the innovative tool that charges your equipment without the cords and tangles. It’s a smart product that solves a common need – and has we continue to collect gadgets that play important roles in our daily lives, charging becomes more important and more of a hassle.

Powermat has begun advertising heavily on radio, television and internet. The below ad unit currently running on Gizmodo is outstanding. I have written before about expansive ad units (examples here and here) and integrated, full-page units (like this).

The Powermat ad units do both. Here on Gizmodo:

- there is a great expansive header where the cords retract into the traditional ad unit (Gizmodo content can be seen beneath). Not only is it visually terrific – it captures the Powermat concept perfectly and is fully integrated into the Gizmodo site
- there is a matching vertical banner on the left panel
- a Powermat sponsorship logo near the search box
- and a large, integrated horizontal unit halfway down the page

And the Powermat ad units are integrated throughout the entire Gizmodo site. Below is a screenshot of the ad sitting between blog posts and headlines:

  • I've got a Palm Pre and the ability to charge without a cord is amazing. It's only a matter of time before the technology becomes entirely mainstream. We'll have real "hot spots" like wi-fi today. I've heard the technology was created at MIT and can range 6 ft... so just think about threading it through chairs or running it along a floor system.
