Who: Google TV Ads

What: Like Google AdWords, but for TV
Why: Using the familiar AdWords interface, you can launch a TV advertising campaign in minutes. You're able to control the networks (including big names like CNBC and the Hallmark Channel) and times that your ads run or have Google automatically generate suggestions based on the demographics you want to reach. You only pay for impressions delivered.
How much: Set your own budget and make bids on airtime

Who: TargetSpot
Where:targetspot.com

How much: Set your own budget

Who: LinkedIn DirectAds
Where:linkedin.com/directads/
What: Text ads for LinkedIn users
Why: When you're after the professional market, LinkedIn is a great hangout. Ads can be targeted at specific industries, ages, geographic areas and so on. Ads also link back to your own LinkedIn profile.
