Olympus Imaging Corporation (President: Haruo Ogawa) is pleased to announce the launch of new web content, titled "Peoples Campaign," in the OLYMPUS OM-D dedicated web site, as part of a promotion for the OLYMPUS OM-D E-M5. Well-known artists from Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany appear in the campaign and it is scheduled to launch on July 20, 2012.

The OLYMPUS OM-D E-M5 and its dedicated web site (URL: http://olympusomd.com) have been received favorably since their launch this past March.
To express the perspective of the OLYMPUS OM-D through the medium of human figures, Olympus will launch the Peoples Campaign in the OLYMPUS OM-D dedicated web site, featuring four well-known artists -- an actress, a recording artist, a fashion designer, and a creative director -- who represent the expressive creativity, sophisticated design, and classic good looks of the OLYMPUS OM-D. In addition to biographies and images of the artists, the web site includes videos of interviews with the artists and photographs taken by the artists using an OLYMPUS OM-D, providing for an introduction to the camera from a different point of view.
This new content will be available in 31 different languages, allowing people all over the world to learn about the OLYMPUS OM-D through the Peoples Campaign.

The Peoples Campaign does not merely introduce a camera but offers content that focuses in on people and their creativity, making the web site appealing not only to OLYMPUS OM-D users, but to a much broader range viewers including novice photographers and users of cameras produced by other manufacturers.
