Microsoft: Spot (Smart Personal Objects Technology)

2007 marked the fifth anniversary of the original SPOT announcement, and interest in the technology and its original vision had waned. With new partners and new applications of the technology, there was renewed opportunity to raise awareness and show progress.

Strategy

We determined that CES was the best venue to fully align the partnerships and product pipeline of Salton, OSI, and Garmin with Microsoft. Key to the overall programs was our ability to successfully turn a series of highly targeted briefings with select media and bloggers at the show into positive coverage and mentions.

Result

Considering the minimalist nature of our outreach, we were able to secure 26 articles, 9 blog postings and 17 reposts for a total of 52 mentions from CES activity alone.
