About Reality Adz: Reality Adz' mission is "Your Ads, Your Way" to let real people share their views on products, services and more with the world. We call it 'democratizing advertising,' empowering everyone to make their own ads about anything. Reality Adz was started after founders (brothers Steve and Tony Harmon) realized, as both satisfied and frustrated consumers themselves, that people should have a way to share their actual experiences with anything through making their own ads about those products, services or places.

All of us, the real consumers, know exactly the pros and cons of the stuff we have bought, the services we have used, the places we have visited -- sometimes finding out too late after our money has been spent. We all want to see and hear from others who have bought an item, taken a trip, signed up for a service or had an experience, good or bad.

People helping each other through real experiences means less consumer frustration and more empowerment for all of us. And companies can tap Reality Adz' creative users to make them an ad. Who better to talk about a product then a satisfied customer? With Reality Adz consumers rule and companies can tap their customers for real ads, Reality Adz.
