Hosting The Right Way

Spur Digital Launches "Frogs!" Interactive Web Site

Houston, TX (PRWeb) February 16, 2007 -- Spur Digital, Houston's leading interactive marketing agency, announced today the official launch of FrogsAtHMNS.com, the official microsite for The Houston Museum Of Natural Science's (HMNS) latest exhibit, "Frogs! A Chorus of Colors."

As the museum's online advertising agency of record, Spur Digital created FrogsAtHMNS.com to drive awareness and interest in the new exhibit by engaging visitors in a variety of ways.

Using the HMNS "Frog Cam" visitors can watch live frogs via the microsite 24/7. Spur Digital raised the bar in viral marketing by producing "Project Frogway," which allows visitors to dress their own frog in outfits and accessories ranging from "hip hop" to "fashionista". Visitors can mix and match accessories to personalize and name their own frog. They can then view their frog on the runway and send an e-postcard inviting their friends to view it.

"The Frogs interactive microsite is our best creative work yet, and it raises the bar for regionally-targeted interactive campaigns," stated Steve Latham, Spur Digital's founder and CEO. "It's great to work with clients like HMNS that appreciate the importance of customer interaction and brand engagement, and how they ultimately lead to higher attendance, revenue and ROI."

"We have high expectations for this campaign. When people think of frogs, they think of warts, cursed princes, even divine plagues. But the truth about frogs is even more fascinating," said Latha Thomas, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at the Houston Museum of Natural Science. "Project Frogway, the Toadally Awesome Giveaway and the other fun activities on the microsite will get people excited about these cool little creatures. Hopefully, it will also bring people to the exhibit, increasing awareness of threats frogs face in today's environment and encouraging visitors to help preserve them."

The e-postcard includes an invitation to view their animated frog walking the runway and includes a link to the microsite. Aside from these interactive elements, the campaign also features "The Toadally Awesome Giveaway" in which visitors can register to win Pet Smart Gift Cards, dinner at Amazón Grill, or the revolutionary and interactive Nintento Wii.

Flash animation, rich-media banner advertisements and email blasts featuring the promotion, will drive traffic to FrogsAtHMNS.com.

The site's objectives are to entertain visitors, drive viral traffic to the site, create awareness of the exhibit and drive ticket sales. HMNS also benefits from the unique brand awareness and consumer engagement. FrogsAtHMNS.com is the latest in a series of exhibit-specific microsites designed, marketing and managed by Spur Digital for the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
