FluentU
FluentU helps people learn foreign languages through real-world videos like music videos, movie trailers, news, and inspiring talks. We take such videos and turn them into language learning lessons.
We need a banner to put on the right sidebar of our company blog (http://www.fluentu.com/blog). The banner should say: "Learn real Spanish with real-world videos." The call to action can say "Try FluentU for Free."
The overall feel of the ad should feel consistent with our homepage at http://www.fluentu.com. Also, we are going to use this ad for multiple languages, so it shouldn't feel Spanish specific.
You are free to try different approaches as to the graphics.
Here are 2 examples of banners that we like:
1) http://screencast.com/t/Y8UNZLUuh (https://blog.kissmetrics.com/ios-ab-testing/)
2) http://screencast.com/t/iRdwmLmya4 (http://blog.leadpages.net/)
As for size, as long as it fits our right sidebar and is a standard accepted size, we are flexible.
Stock images are OK (not encouraged, though).
