Road Blocked!!


Pegasus, Turkey’s youngest airline company recognises that when customers want to buy a ticket, they often search online for available dates and prices. Aware of the important role internet plays in the marketing mix, Pegasus turned to MSN Turkey to announce the launch of its new flight routes and drive consumers to its Web site. It created a road block for other brands on MSN. It bought all the advertising space on MSN for that period of time.

Road Block Advertising is a term coined for an advertising strategy where the concerned company buys up all the available slots on a particular kind of media for a particular amount of time.
