  • As part of the overall branding effort, a template was designed to promote ad consistency throughout the worldwide product divisions of Linear Technology
  • To track the effectiveness of the new advertising camp• aign, “unique URLs” were put into every ad specific to product and publication
  • Monthly ad reports were produced, using click through’s of the unique URLs. Use of this information allowed for quick, efficient and ongoing development of the media schedule to maximize its impact.
