 This isn't a new idea, but it is worth revisiting for the benefits it can provide both DUST 514 and EVE Online
During my last talk with CCP CMDR WANG on Podside (#49 on iTunes) I brought up the idea of in game Corp adds. With the TVs in our Q's and even the billboard floating around in New Eden by jump gates, why not fill them with adds and news from player made Corp instead of worthless NPC Jib. They say we run the story line why not some of its content as well
When CMDR WANG listen to the Idea he simply asked if we mind the adds be paid by Aur or ISK?
Our reply was both. Have packages for ISK adds and AUR adds. One of the hardest things in EVE is getting your name and service out to the pub. I believe this would be a great way to due so, but what are your thoughts and would you use it?
This could bring another type of an ISK Sink to New Eden (See link below).
It could also provide more AUR puchases to help fund the bettering of DUST 514 and EVE online, while aiding Corps in bettering themselves.
PS ignore the trolls and be real

 EDIT: To clarify and spread understanding, Video production is costly and so the AUR cost would have to make up for the production cost and air time. But I have done a lot in the lines of voice over work and even radio add's that have been far more successful then most TV Add's. So in this light (and keeping the cost of AUR add's in mind) I would imagine most screen add's(not all) would be a brief 10-15 sec add with voice over work and added lively images (pics) on the in Q screen. these are popular in radio and I believe work perfect for EVE.
Billboard and poster adds would be general (brief description of the corp with in game logo and contact info) and even have miscellaneous adds (like war dec, bounty and contract announcements) that can be purchased as well.
Sample of my work in radio caution M rated "Wing Man" (all voices were mine including the women)

So you think AUR would be a fare payment type for this (like in game TV adds or tourney live streams)? |

Could Make videos AUR and Pictures ISK?
The pic adds could be a number of things such as recruiting or putting more interest on a contract then just trying to get your corp hired. These can be on an individual level. They would still serve an important function even is you feel one function wouldn't work, but you never know where you might be in a time of need ;)
In regards too video adds, I have added a edit to the OP about cost, but also provided an idea. I'm trying to keep in mind the user base and the normal game budget we norm gamers carry. The Idea behind AUR and ISK is that a newer DUST corp that doesn't make a lot of ISK as say more established EVE Corps can still do add's for AUR to get whatever message they want out to the pub.
I say that if this is a liked idea lets get CCP to come up with examples and we can fine tune from there

I was a big fan of the old Radio programs of "the Shadow", "Have Gun Will Travel" and even the "Twilight Zone" and find audio very captivating. If you add a pic to that, then you wouldn't need much else :) |

Going off what Gunthar is say about being able to turn ISK in to AUR then having the Adds pure Aur wouldn't be a problem. This can be done in eve. Now just needs to be in dust. |

Have you seen a mom and pop restaurant down the corner have their own Super Bowl advertisement?
Step back a moment and think about this. If there are only so many advertisement spaces on the billboards, who determines which ads get placement? Should it rotate through all available ads? In that case, it doesn't matter how much money a smaller corp can place, the larger corps, with more isk can place 100x the amount of ads they can if it's a low isk investment. If it's player controlled, then the spots will sell to the highest bidder, again making it so smaller corps can't get ads in.
With Billboard Adds it can be done locational. So for example you would have some add's in Amarr Space that you would'nt see in Mimnatar. You could even just rent one billboard in the one system your office is located so to let recruits know they are in the right place to apply.

So I was told on Podside about a Myth that if the current billboards were tampered with it would destroy all of New Eden (Some Code Bug). To that I say "Make New Ones" leave the others alone for atmosphere and place new working billboards beside them. |
