Ad Campaign-Specific Domain Names

Many companies use campaign-specific domain names in order to emphasize newly advertised features, attributes, or services. Websites are developed which display promotional materials for the company which are created specifically to reinforce the messages conveyed in television and print advertising campaigns.  For example, in order the emphasize the primary benefit of the new Windows Mobile, Microsoft established WorkWherever.com:
