The new site, 3m.com was developed to generate excitement about 3M’s 100-year anniversary. Agency.com has incorporated design changes to existing 3M sites and introduced new content that was consistent with the company’s ongoing external communications activities.
One of the features that the 3M site will include is the interactive “3M Time Machine” that allows visitors to take a trip down memory lane to see highlights of 100 years of 3M’s innovations and firsts.
“We welcomed the challenge of helping 3M communicate both the solid heritage of this 100 year old company as well as their strong, future-oriented vision for heading into a second century,” said Don Scales, president of Agency.com’s Western Region.
