New kgb TV Commercials Seek to Build Awareness, Usage

One of the things that's very interesting about kgb's text-based Q&A/search service kgbkgb (542542) is that it's doing traditional marketing to build awareness and usage of the service. Unlike competitors, kgb's offering is not free to consumers and its not ad-supported (at this point).

The company has been running TV ads for some time. Two new ads made their debut last week:

Picture 28

Picture 29

Most comparable to ChaCha (but without voice input) kgb charges consumers $.99 per question in addition to any carrier SMS charges. ChaCha is free and ad-supported.
