Political Microsites Confirm a New World Order


Not that we needed any further proof that traditional media is being turned upside down, but here it is: When Senator Barack Obama announced his decision to run for president on January 16, he made the announcement in a video posted on his Microsite — www.barackobama.com. (It is a Microsite, and not a typical website, but I’ll get to that later.)

Actually, he did it two ways. He posted the video on his Microsite and on YouTube. Smart.

My Story about Cadillac’s Microsite


In 2006, Cadillac hired a new global marketing director, Liz Vanzura. She promptly fired its long-time ad agency, Leo Burnett, and handed the $200 million business to Modernista – the agency that handles Hummer and has a history of producing killer car spots. The new team quickly updated the marketing strategy and produced killer ads.

They also launched a Microsite at www.mycadillacstory.com, and created a home on YouTube, encouraging enthusiasts to tell their own Cadillac stories.
