A well-produced false product introduction complete with hilarious video vignettes by Journeyman Films, tech specs, accessories and more, this micro site is a wily subterfuge to introduce you to Nova Scotia's Come To Life tourism campaign, positioning the province as the venue that has a lot to offer. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqiHbEnOUa08orUtwqyN8bRzDQbDVMg73hqjPNBZLBYtWdZJi9SRnapiwkga58Zx-7Dmmzdw0OtfLenoqp3AHi3sSlzVVIdDl-cBmQwai-ZSoZo3eq2KhAu8DiDCjl5SKZK5sK2OhnlK8S/s1600-h/Picture+22.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255246842952706962" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqiHbEnOUa08orUtwqyN8bRzDQbDVMg73hqjPNBZLBYtWdZJi9SRnapiwkga58Zx-7Dmmzdw0OtfLenoqp3AHi3sSlzVVIdDl-cBmQwai-ZSoZo3eq2KhAu8DiDCjl5SKZK5sK2OhnlK8S/s400/Picture+22.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 538px; height: 144px;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3V2K9-iLxqTeYLlM-LCxPSMkCx1rUujBZ0jZuDa-qPC7G_naEVIKdkiLItyfotOlZN1R1Z4EMpSdviXlyDpPRNGT8g9WiuHzAsPgArsnL_aGe1aRDfjGWIEajwR8Q_wFRpkBxBr7YUxJg/s1600-h/Picture+23.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255246762087314418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3V2K9-iLxqTeYLlM-LCxPSMkCx1rUujBZ0jZuDa-qPC7G_naEVIKdkiLItyfotOlZN1R1Z4EMpSdviXlyDpPRNGT8g9WiuHzAsPgArsnL_aGe1aRDfjGWIEajwR8Q_wFRpkBxBr7YUxJg/s400/Picture+23.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 540px; height: 102px;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjhZrbSd9rEiDXgJTDLz1-zoL9VgCocHSda71wo2nn7hs_XHxWBUoduCdoE0AeWoXhsI2au7Q0yxgwr2o9KN7AcwiD2VkqgEByhec4TWJkQZMwpMFdvGUPFW3jhOfp_iMaQWYSLWgLmoWW/s1600-h/Picture+24.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255246593789367554" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjhZrbSd9rEiDXgJTDLz1-zoL9VgCocHSda71wo2nn7hs_XHxWBUoduCdoE0AeWoXhsI2au7Q0yxgwr2o9KN7AcwiD2VkqgEByhec4TWJkQZMwpMFdvGUPFW3jhOfp_iMaQWYSLWgLmoWW/s400/Picture+24.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 541px; height: 309px;" /></a> The micro site is impressively designed and filled with all the demos and charts you'd expect from an actual tech product introduction.

(Update: this post has consistently been the most widely read and searched for post on my blog since this campaign broke and still is one full year later - editor) Jeff White of <a href="http://www.brightwhite.ca/">Brightwhite</a> says: "Viral marketing is great, but the fact that Nova Scotia taxpayers have spent $300,000 to foot the bill for this campaign is a shame. Next to no one will have any idea that this even is a site about Nova Scotia. And those that do find this more or less hidden link feel cheated. So, even though lots of people will forward the site to their friends, very few will get to the true nature of what it's trying to say and that makes this a very expensive experiment. You only need to read what people are saying on <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=pombomb" target="_blank">Twitter</a> to see that the general opinion is that this campaign bombs."It's even been deemed the <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=%23pombomb">Pombomb</a> by tweeters.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirQLuCH77P1EJuWF8Uv2rPhcfRGCDCrwQxWAzzWVl35KTgh64sTf2JrUTTIffTrzbhP4TuU5IzDpa0T_rCMRFhWeAzevRzuT68eKktjyMkh06aCPkvThRayZx_2Q4XRY1EqcgGt5d38pqX/s1600-h/Picture+6.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5255253643079826194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirQLuCH77P1EJuWF8Uv2rPhcfRGCDCrwQxWAzzWVl35KTgh64sTf2JrUTTIffTrzbhP4TuU5IzDpa0T_rCMRFhWeAzevRzuT68eKktjyMkh06aCPkvThRayZx_2Q4XRY1EqcgGt5d38pqX/s400/Picture+6.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 128px; height: 103px;" /></a>Nevertheless, I applaud Novia Scotia for trying something bold and new and without all the actual media placement info, et cetera, I, personally, will refrain from hypothesizing about why it may or may not have succeeded. Besides, it's too soon to tell and I have yet to locate actual stats as far as visitors, etc. But I will show you some screen grabs, because whether or not the site is driving interest in Nova Scotia, it deserves kudos for imaginative thinking, clever copy, nice design and wonderful videos.
