We have a new media buy that we want to call to your attention due to the unique nature of the campaign creative.

We’re launching a campaign in the form of a video ad that will run in your 300x250 ad space. It will feature top brand advertisers and has audio that begins automatically and runs for 15 seconds. It will be listed in your approved campaigns as Lotame Interactive Video.

If you wish to review the creative, click on Media Buy Review > Accepted > Media Buy > Show. You can reject the campaign by checking the box to the left of the line item and clicking the Reject button at the top of the page.

If you have any questions, please email xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Cheers,
Six Apart Media

Non-user initiated junk is the kind of stuff people expect to see on ad spammed websites and myspace. It presents a low quality, near begging level of publisher…..and we’re not interested.

In the future, please remember this preference.

this is likely something specific to you. spyware hijacks your browser, and shows you ads...even popups and redirects that we don't use. Get the spyware/adware removed, and it should go away.
