Disney Online last week announced a hybrid advertising-commerce deal with BarnesandNoble.com that could well be a blueprint for the entertainment giant’s future online. The company will shift its sales strategy from a one-dimensional advertising buying model-where a company is paying cash for banner placement-to a multi-tiered approach, where, for example, an online travel, music or credit card company is integrated into Disney’s site.
