We’re nearing the end of our Balsamiq Sponsorship. They’ve done 7 different ads here at MegaMaker, and they made an effort to have each of them be not just a boring old traditional ad, but to really provide value to the MegaMaker audience. This was an experiment for them, as one of their goals for 2016 is to get better at marketing. Would you say they have succeeded? Have you found their ads useful, or annoying? They want to support other podcasts for makers, so help them decide if it was worth it or not by telling them!
