ISM’s Web Makeover
Our fly new look.
Amazing stuff is happening in Image Space Media Headquarters: We've unveiled our new website, logo and our publisher panel PubStop. AND our team is gearing up to head to SXSW Interactive tomorrow. It's an exciting time to be using in-image ads.
But let's break it down a little. Our team has put in a lot of work to make our new website look as beautiful as it does... from back-end developers to content writers, from management on down to us bloggers/ISM cheerleaders. And we're pretty happy with the results.
Here's a run-down of some of the additions to the site:
- Special section for advertisers, including FAQs and information about our content channels.
- For our WordPress, Blogger, and Tumblr friends, step-by-step instructions on how to implement our code on each specific blog platform.
- PubStop! Our exclusive interface for publishers where you can see how many dolla bills you've made, control which ads have images, and just generally have a good time.
- Management bios! Ever wondered what the smiling faces of the ISM team look like? You're in luck!
- A new look! From our beautiful new logo to our poppin' color palette, every aspect of the ISM site is designed to be evocative.
Not to brag, but we think these updates are pretty fly. What do you think? We hope you find them to be an exciting and useful upgrade to ISM's services. Let us know what you think! Post your thoughts in the comments or email info@imagespacemedia.com!

Interview with Image Space Media CEO Jesse Chenard
Our CEO Jesse Chenard, chilling on Mount Kilimanjaro.
Last week we interviewed Image Space Media co-founders Kevin Tung and Raymond Chan and posting Friday Photos that featured the ISM team hard at work preparing for SXSW Interactive. Have you enjoyed getting to know us better? Want to learn more about the ISM team? You're in luck! This week we have a very special interview with ISM CEO Jesse Chenard.
First off, tell us about yourself. What's your sign?
Cancer. My birthday is July 19. I don't really follow astrology enough to know whether or not I'm a typical Cancer. Maybe I am. I'm introverted. You know, affected by the moon.
Awesome. Can you tell us a little about your professional history?
I've spent the last 11 years working on internet stuff. Always start-ups. Every company I've ever worked at has been sold, except for my last one Tremor. Up until recently I've been more focused on streaming video and audio. Now it's advertising.
How did you meet Ray and Kevin?
At TechCrunch in San Fransisco. They were in the demo pit. Kevin grabbed me and said, "Hey, want to see something cool?" And I thought that his idea was pretty interesting - to use the image space to advertise.
At one point I asked him something like, "How will you guys integrate with 3rd-party ad systems like DoubleClick," and he looked at me and said, "What's DoubleClick?" So at that point I suggested that we grab coffee when we were both back in New York, because we were both from here. And then we got together.
Editor's Note: Kevin is now fully aware of what DoubleClick is.
You started off as their advisor and then joined formally as CEO. What made you decide to man the helm at Image Space Media?

Friday Photos!
At Image Space Media HQ we're busy getting ready for South by Southwest!
The office has been buzzing with excitement for our launch and show stopping (in-my-humble-opinion) trade show booth. If you are attending, don't be a stranger! Say hi, grab some grub (hot dogs and veggie frito pies, anyone?) and some Shiner Bock beer. If that's not enough to tempt you, we will also have a photobooth with funky costumes on the premise!
Check out our awesome staffers get ready for SXSW Interactive!

First Edition of Friday Photos!
At Image Space Media we're all about the power of a good image. We're in the business of engaging people in images, after all.
We figured, however, that it was time to back up our words with evidence. Thus, Friday Photos was born. Every Friday we'll be featuring photos from our team, for many reasons. First, to showcase some photographic talent. Secondly, to show you how awesome the Image Space Media team is.
Our first edition of Friday Photos will probably be the most exotic. Our CEO/resident adventurer Jesse Chenard just returned from a 10-day trip, fulfilling his childhood goal of hiking Mount Kilimanjaro! AWESOME. Let's see the world through Jesse's eyes:
Jesse at Africa's Highest Point!!
Don't you wish this was the view out your window?
Sigh.

MEANWHILE, back in dreary New York, we had our own fun that involved no hiking, beautiful vistas, or exercise. But we have fun, nonetheless! Take a little peek into ISM Headquarters:

Image Space Media Receives $2.9 Million In First Round Financing from Leading Media Industry Investors
Funds Will Support Publisher Network Growth and Development of Leading Edge Technology
New York, NY, January 19, 2010—Image Space Media (www.imagespacemedia.com), the leading provider of in-image advertising for the Internet, has received $2.9 million in first-round financing led by New Atlantic Ventures (NAV). Michael Gordon, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Limelight Networks, Inc. (LLNW), will also join the Board of Directors.
“Publishers are constantly seeking effective methods for monetizing their site content. Image Space Media’s ad overlay platform provides a source for incremental revenue that doesn’t compete with other revenue sources,” said Jesse Chenard, CEO, who most recently co-founded leading online video advertising network, Tremor Media. “Given the huge numbers of images across the Internet, the potential for scale is just incredible.”
With more than 34 million unique visitors each month, Image Space Media places relevant ads on the lower fourth of 7.5 million images across the Internet and serves hundreds of millions of impressions per month.
"Site visitors consistently engage with site images and rarely view banners anymore. Image Space Media has identified a solution to banner blindness and is getting great performance from their ads,” said Scott Johnson, Managing Partner at NAV. "Publishers need incremental revenue now more than ever so we are extremely bullish on the Company’s prospects."
Publishers gain incremental revenue through relevant, precisely targeted ads. The transparent ads are user-controlled and only appear when the site visitor mouses over an image. "Image Space Media’s advanced platform is delivering outstanding results for an expanding group of publishers and advertisers and is poised for even more significant growth,” said Gordon. “Website images represent a significant untapped revenue opportunity for publishers and a new, high-engagement opportunity for advertisers."
