The two sites will form part of Jupitermedia's Graphics.com network.
AdsoftheWorld.com was founded by Advertising and Design Creative Director Ivan Raszl, inspired by his own need for a site with ad campaigns categorized by industry and geographical location. The site has now grown to the point where it's closely watched by ad agencies worldwide, who also provide a steady stream of fresh ad content. The result is a fast-growing site that has become a reference point for agencies and designers, with the forums serving as a place to discuss the latest campaigns, as well as related business issues. There is also an active blogging community posting on topics related to design and communications.
CreativeBits.org is a blog and community site for Mac OS X-based professional graphic designers, with an emphasis on providing members with a way to share tips and tricks, track industry announcements and events, and receive help and feedback on current work from fellow members.
According to Alan M. Meckler, Chairman and CEO of Jupitermedia Corporation, "In addition to strengthening Graphics.com's advertising offerings, this acquisition provides us with the opportunity to cross-promote our Jupiterimages offerings, which include digital images, music, footage, flash, fonts, animations and illustrations, to a community of over one million creative professionals." |
