The web can make or break your brand

These days, your customers spend more time online than they do watching TV. As a result, the web now has the power to raise brands on a pedestal, or drop them face-fi rst. So if want your brand to succeed, you need to tend to it – and your relationship with your customers – from fi rst look to fi nal conversion.

At AOL, we know that brands aren’t built on clicks alone. That’s why we’ve created the largest premium brand platform on the web, full of content that nurtures brand awareness and consideration, and stocked with formats that let your creativity shine.

It’s no longer enough simply to be online. Where you are makes all the di erence.

Though it may not look like it,

this room actually has no ceiling.

There’s nothing like going without to remind us that wouldn’t

be — couldn’t be — where we are today if we didn’t have so many

talented, smart and dedicated women. That’s why we invest

in the professional future of every female employee through

mentoring programs, career advancement opportunities and

the Women’s Leadership Network of our holding company, IPG.

For these reasons and many more, is a great place

to work. Except today. It’s a little quiet around here.

There are moments in life

when sound bites just won’t do.

Moments when you want to know,

really know.

And for that you need to go

beneath the headlines

and beyond the chatter.

That’s where we live.

Where tireless research reveals not just facts,

but opportunities.

Where you’re exposed to perspectives

that enable you to make the right choices

for your family,

your career,

your life.

Whole Concord grapes—skin, seeds and all —give Welch’s® its extraordinary antioxidant power.

Alton BrownAlton Brown

Grape is a fruit.Not a flavor.

Made from Concord grapes grown by our family-farmer owners.

When people learn Welch’s 100% Grape Juice is made from whole Concord grapes, they’re pretty surprised. All those little grapes add up to one healthy juice. And there’s no added sugar, colors or fl avors. Because when nature gives you the perfect recipe, you don’t mess with it. To learn more, visit WELCHS.COM.
