MICROSOFT SQL SERVER, DATABASE COMPETITIVE CHALLENGE :: viral video, e-mail campaign, and viral game website

Martini Design was asked to produce a unique campaign that would encourage Oracle database administrators to give their contact information to Microsoft SQL Server sales staff. Martini created an online contest with a funny viral video and online game that portrays SQL Server 2005 as a cost-effective, intuitive alternative to Oracle 11g, which is depicted as a complex, ineffectual, and expensive corporate product.

The campaign was a success. Users visiting the website had a 15 percent conversion rate for sign-up and registration. The YouTube.com version of the video contributed to a 200 percent rise in hits in just one week. The video also was posted to five different database blogs within 24 hours of being released.

LIVE.COM :: Interactive Demo


MSN called upon Martini to create an interactive demo for Live.com that showed not only its function, but also the appeal of having a personalized home page. To do this, Martini created a product demo and three video vignettes showing Live.com users keeping up with the stuff and the people they love. Through the eyes of an adoring adolescent, a passionate ping pong patron, and a loyal lobster-lover, we see how Live.com brings their online worlds together.

ENTERPRISE AGREEMENTS :: Demo & Workbook

Microsoft’s Licensing team came to Martini to produce a learning tool to educate licensing specialists and account representatives on Enterprise Agreements. Martini used a unique story-telling approach to “edutain” and engage the audience. Using a 1950’s film reel style, we created a 12-minute demo and two interactive quizzes, telling the story of Sad Hal, a hapless salesman who is empowered through the Enterprise Agreement. This campaign also included a 40-page workbook.
