» Pinacol's Microsoft Work Archives

Microsoft Product Demo

Continuing our work for Microsoft, we partnered with the Kissd agency, who provided the creative look and feel, and Digital Kitchen, who provided the video shooting and production. Pinacol went to work over the holidays creating a Flash site experience to showcase three of Microsoft's products.

The centerpiece of the site is the videos, and in order to highlight these assets, we built a robust media player from scratch. Allowing for thumbnail views, chapters, video chapter overlays, send to a friend, chapter links, and content sensitive hotspots, the media player is a sight to behold.

Microsoft - View myWorld

Microsoft is a solid employer of emerging minds, and offers a great employment opportunity to graduating college students just starting out, or early professionals looking to compete in their fields, but to grab the attention of this highly sought-after demographic a new level of corporate transparency was expected in order to attract applicants.

Pinacol worked with JWT Seattle to craft a creative design that highlighted Microsoft's employees through the View campaign, a window into the lives, biographies, and interests of Microsoft employees. The site was built with Flash and a versatile XML structure to allow for the addition of pages and copy in further site updates. The site experience provided users with questions and answers, blog summaries and posts from MS employees, and videos that showcased the versatility offered by a career at Microsoft.
