It’s working • “…simply wanted to say that this is some of the most phenomenal web interface design I have ever seen…. The way that each partnership is customized is bloody brilliant…But I also was one of those folks who thought that hp only made printers. Now I know otherwise. Sounds silly, but it's true. So in that respect, the link was very effective in pulling me in and educating me.” • “The new website is incredible. We are students in digital design in Hong Kong and we would like to have more background on how you achieved the page turning effect and the cursor responsive environment in the space section. WOW!!!!!! “ HP Corporate Overview

“Our brand is a promise to customers. The customer experience we provide should reflect that promise. So we need to make it real, every day, in the marketplace. Our brand is also a promise we make to ourselves. Because what we project to the outside world must reflect who we are, and how we behave, as a company. In other words, our brand must reflect our culture.” • Carly Fiorina HP Corporate Overview
