			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <a href="http://orbitalrpm.com/" target="linked" border="0"><img src="/images/portfolio/OrbitalRPM.gif" alt="Orbital RPM screenshot" class="portfolio-image" /></a>Orbital RPM is a consulting firm merging the strategic oversight of a Chief Learning Officer [CLO] with the most progressive methodologies of learning and development.  A workforce that has evolved from an industrial society to a knowledge society requires learning and development that has undergone the same transformation.  Traditional training was suitable for the way businesses operated several decades ago.  Orbital RPM brings the revolution in learning and development needed by today’s workforce.</p>
<p>Orbital RPM sought a website on the leading edge of functionality to match our progressive services.  Our goal is to become the information destination for learning and development professionals and our new site is a major asset in that pursuit by including a tag cloud, videos, podcasts, a calendar of events and behind the scenes content management for easy maintenance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Have you considered incorporating content partners and marketing partners into your online strategy? For example, partnering with content providers who could augment your own content with additional related content? Or partering with sites whose visitors match your target market?&#8230; If, for example, you wanted to reach women online, you could partner with a site like <a href="http://www.ivillage.com">iVillage.com</a> and build a microsite together, then have them promote it through their site and subscription lists.</p>
<p>Think about the sites you advertise on as potential partners. Join forces and create a microsite together and then promote it to a joint captive audience. Or make a deal with them and syndicate some useful content onto their site. For example, you could develop a whole library of useful tips and, rather than doing standard banner ads, you could provide these tips to your partner, who would then fold it with the rest of their content. Et voila!&#8230; &#8220;Sponsored content&#8221;!</p>
<p>Even better if, between the two of you, you can develop some sort of &#8220;hook&#8221; or viral component, such as a funny video, an addictive game, a downloadable ebook, worksheet, calculator, widget, etc&#8230;</p>
<p>Got an example to share of a site where the whole is greater than the sum of the partners? Post a comment!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Microsites can be really good at going &#8220;viral&#8221; if they are clever and have &#8220;pass it on&#8221; appeal. <a href="http://www.subservientchicken.com">Subservient Chicken</a>, Burger King&#8217;s microsite was such a site. It featured a person dressed up in a chicken suit wearing lingerie. You could give it commands by typing them into a box. Pretty weird. Not surprisingly, it became quite popular and went viral.</p>
<p>You improve the chances that your campaign will go viral if it&#8217;s a microsite because then it&#8217;s at an arm&#8217;s length from your corporate/brand site. Corporate sites rarely go viral. Subservient Chicken, for instance, surely had more &#8220;pass it on appeal&#8221; as a separate site than as a subdirectory within the BurgerKing.com site.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.emeraldnuts.com">Emerald Nuts</a> launched a funny microsite called <a href="http://www.angryleprechaun.com">AngryLeprechaun.com</a>, which they tied in with their very expensive Super Bowl commercial and promoted through press releases. The site was a spoof; supposedly a leprechaun was supposed to be in the television commercial and was edited out in the final cut. Consequently, the leprechaun was very angry about it so he set up his own website. Visitors can watch the &#8216;unedited&#8217; video clips with him in the commercial. Cute idea.</p>
<p>Another funny microsite is the <a href="http://counterfeitmini.com">counterfeit Mini</a> spoof site. Brilliant!</p>
<p>What are your favorite microsites? Post a comment!</p>
