Quick Takes: January 30, 2008
  

Striving for Yardage in U.S. and Overseas, CareerBuilder.com Kicks Off Super Bowl Spots


The company is spending $250 million to air two 30-second spots.
By Garry Kranz

First and Goal? Never shy about promoting itself, CareerBuilder.com  says it will take to the airwaves on Super Bowl Sunday to launch an aggressive marketing blitz. The company says it will spend more than $250 million and air two 30-second spots. The TV ads form part of a strategy to expand domestically while also cracking new markets in Europe and elsewhere overseas, CEO Matt Ferguson said in a statement. In partnership with MSN, the company in 2007 launched co-branded career sites in the U.K., Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. Plans for 2008 call for going “head to head with top players” in several other markets.
