Fotolia Exercises The European Option

The Globe and Mail spoke to Patrick Lor, North American president of Fotolia.com about his company’s use of long copy ads to advertise the company’s visual products.

He was concerned that everyone in the microstock photo agency business had the same message of what they had to offer: great images, great search, great quality and millions of images at great prices. So, he zagged where others zig.

About David Burn

I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17 (she went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time). Today, I live near Portland, Oregon and spend my days building brands for companies that matter.
