Digital Drag Race
Create a program that:
– Engages content creators – Displays the power of the
processor– Builds in functionality to map back
to social behaviors
– Builds community
The Digital Drag Race concept addressed several key issues:
– It spoke directly to the audience we wanted to engage with
– Easy to integrate naturally with Intel.com
– Visually displayed the “speed” of the processor
– Easy to add behaviors/functionality
