Detroit duo markets pop culture philosophy to build college fund.
(PRWEB) November 18, 2005 -- PixelGiveAway.com is brought to you by The World Famous Million Quarter Webpage. They were on Alexa’s Movers and Shakers list for four weeks in a row, a remarkable feat for a small, homegrown business run by two average Joes from the suburbs of Detroit. MQW is going to do it again with PixelGiveAway.com.
Now the screen is split in half and you can choose to either place a free pixel ad for 30 days or you can pay to have your pixel remain on the site for a full 10 years. The pixels are used by advertisers to create a virtual billboard on a grid.
If this sounds familiar, that’s because it is.
“We freely admit we didn’t invent pixel advertising. It’s a craze, and we’re cashing in on it to seed our kids’ college funds,” said Jeremy Mlynarek, co-founder of PixelGiveAway.com. “It’s taken off to a level we didn’t expect.”
Mlynarek attributes the success of PixelGiveAway.com to creative, grassroots marketing, but his partner, Joshua Moser, is more philosophical.
“PixelGiveAway.com has real artistic value, and I think people recognize that. PixelGiveAway.com is pop art for the mass media age. When Andy Warhol took the image of a soup can and put it in a gallery, he made us notice the mundane.
Internet advertising is today’s soup can. It’s everywhere, on nearly every webpage we visit, and yet we’ve become blind to it. So PixelGiveAway.com shifts it into a new configuration, a mosaic of sorts. The focal point of the PixelGiveAway.com mosaic is those things we never see.”
Moser believes so deeply in the art of PixelGiveAway.com that he plans to make lithographs of the grid when the webpage fills.
“PixelGiveAway.com advertisers get more than just pixels for their money. They get a piece of Internet real estate, and they become part of a pop culture icon as well,” Moser said. Philosophy aside, advertisers on PixelGiveAway.com are achieving a global audience as the webpage gains popularity and media accolades.
Is it the advertising -- or the attitude -- that is propelling the PixelGiveAway.com to achieve such success? The jury is still out, and most likely it’s a combination of both. PixelGiveAway.com was recently featured on Buzz Factor, a nationally syndicated radio show, and these two small-town guys are enjoying the worldwide fame that comes from being one of Alexa’s Movers and Shakers.
