Software giant Microsoft launches dozens of products and services every year.

#1: A Peek Into Business Owners’ Minds
Ahead of the campaign, the team needed to understand what was on the minds of women in business.

With a regular blog for Forbes.com, the organization brought valuable connections and a high profile.
