What We Believe
• Display advertising won’t always be annoying if we just get it right.
• People are just as curious as they were in 1994.
• Native advertising doesn’t have to be sneaky, it just has to make sense.
• Reading a print magazine or viewing a website should be an experience, people like anticipation more than surprises.
• People still value, respect, and follow newspapers and magazines
• Keeping it classy.

Consumer Dilema
1. Online search “Best Thai Restaurant”
2. Find article in local newspaper
3. Online search for name of restaurant to find out hours, location, reviews, phone number
4. Search Groupon, LivingSocial, Amazon Local for deals
5. Make reservation online
