<p>A few weeks ago, Tumblr founder David Karp <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2012/04/18/breaking-tumblr-to-start-selling-ads-after-all/">rather abruptly announced</a> that he was reversing his long-held anti-advertising stance and opening Tumblr Radar up for sponsorship. According to an email from Tumblr communications rep Katherine Barna, the ad shop is officially open for business.</p>
<p>"We're very excited to announce that Tumblr's first official Sponsor products are now available to advertisers!" Ms. Barna wrote, directing folks to a <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/sponsors">new page for potential marketers</a>. "We are constantly delighted by the creative ways that brands use Tumblr, and are confident that the world's greatest marketers and media companies will use these products to set a new bar for creative advertising on the web." Mr. Karp seemed a little more <a href="http://www.betabeat.com/2012/05/01/the-ever-affable-david-karp-talks-tumblrs-two-pronged-advertising-strategy-at-decoded-fashion/">contemptuous towards advertisers</a> at the Decoded Fashion conference earlier this week. But, like, in a friendly way, of course!<!--more--></p>
<p>Sponsorship packages, which will appear on the Tumblr Radar (that little box on the right of the dashboard) as well as on <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/spotlight">Tumblr Spotlight</a>, start at $25,000. As suspected, <em>The</em> <em>Hunger Games</em> producers have already signed up with an ad for <a href="http://capitolcouture.pn/">Capital Couture</a>, a marketing site set in the fictional world of film. If Christopher Nolan is reading, we would a 100 percent click on absolutely any <em>The Dark Knight Rises</em>-inspired Tumblrs you want to promote. We'll even pretend to believe you when you call it "<a href="http://www.digitalbuzzblog.com/the-dark-knight-viral-why-so-serious-case-study/">augmented reality</a>."</p>
