Web advertising options

We have an unrivalled portfolio of creative and interactive options available to help you place your products, services or brand in front of international information security professionals.

We recommend scheduling a meeting with your Infosecurity sales manager who will take a brief from you relating to your overall marketing objectives and within 24 hours will send you a customised proposal aimed at delivering the results you are looking for. It is also recommended that during this consultation that you take the opportunity to have demonstrated some of our new offerings. All such campaigns benefit from a detailed report analysis.

Hand-pick the best opportunities for your marketing needs:

Leaderboard (click here to view)

A high impact large banner, Leaderboards are created for advertisers wanting to deliver a brand message in a prominent position. There are two Leaderboards per section - top and bottom. Your banner stays on the screen for as long as the user does, so your message can be as long as you desire with animation recommended to enhance the appeal and attract click-throughs from buyers. It is also essential that included in the message is a "creative call to action" and always state "click here".

Boom Box (click here to view)

This is a solus large banner that dominates the centre of each section set within the editorial copy, which enables advertisers to communicate their brand/product message extremely effectively. This option is an ideal solution for announcing a new solution or product/service, or promoting a special offer, conference or user event.

Site jacking

For a 24 hour period we will give the entire site over to your brand - typically this would be used to announce a major new product - acquisition - year end results - completion of business restructure.

Products of the month (click here to view)

An advertising unit that runs on the left hand side of the website. We offer two Products of the month panels, and prices start at £1000 for a 30-day campaign. They are used to promote new or existing products, and are linked to a page within our site containing more detailed press information with links to your site. This is an excellent way to generate leads for your sales team and boost your sales.

These smaller units take key placements on the events pages. They are a cost effective opportunity that will suit any budget.

Webinars (click here to view)

It is highly recommended that you set up a meeting to discuss Webinars with us and at the same time allow us to demonstrate this powerful marketing tool.

www.infosecurity-magazine.com webinars are free to attend LIVE online events aimed at the information security professional. These online seminars provide strategic advice, a lively panel debate and business critical information.

Users can register for webinars for free and if unable to attend the live event, can view them for up to one year after the event has aired.

Webinars are highly interactive, enhancing the user experience, generating research information and quality leads for the sponsor:

• Powerpoint synchronisation - images text and links are presented alongside the live feed
• Polls - voting during the Webinar displayed and analysed by the panel members (live)
• Downloads of related files - such as graphs and reports
• Guest speaker profiles - sponsor profiles and links
• Live chat - discussed in the Q & A session and also answered by a central email address at Infosecurity after the event

Webinars are managed, hosted and marketed by www.infosecurity-magazine.com and we will work with you to develop the topics for debate and also find companies to share the platform with you as co-sponsors whose activities complement yours.

It is also possible for us to use this technology to allow you to showcase your company for its sole use - ideally suited to a major product launch or significant business restructure.

Rich media

Rich media provides a more sophisticated online creative, with an emphasis on entertaining the user, encouraging them to interact with the advert and engage with the brand. Rich media formats such as a page peel, aid the advertiser in providing a richer experience for the user.
