SUMMARY
msnbc.com's challenge was to grow the brand by defining and differentiating it in a world of strong competition. Learning that msnbc.com was appreciated for being open to the entire editorial continuum - from the war in Iraq to Angelina Jolie - we created msnbc.com's first branding campaign, "A Fuller Spectrum of News." Identifying a new target, the News Explorer, we connected with them using msnbc.com RSS feeds to fuel an online game, a screensaver and the first in-theater, audience-participation game. While the category focuses on news consumption, msnbc.com owns its enjoyment.
