Ask HN: Advice on finding big brands to advertise on my site.

2 points by makeee ↗ HN
I have a facebook app which is getting some serious traffic (2m+ visitors a day). It should easily be enough for a big-brand ad deal, but I have no idea where to start. Are their 3rd party companies which act as the middle man and help negotiate ad deals like this for a cut? Is hiring a full time ad sales person the way to go? Do companies like Coke expect a rich presentation selling them on the merits of advertising on your site, or is a short email and traffic stats enough to get their attention?

Sorry, not going to post the link. In this instance it's the idea (and it's easily reproducible), not the execution..

Analyze your demographics. Most likely, you have certain age/sex/regional groups over-represented in your 2m+ visitors.

The better you know your audience, the better you can find an advertiser who will be interested in reaching them.
