The Most Creative Campaigns, Brands
and Agencies in Tech

 
TECHNOLOGY IS UBIQUITOUS, SO THE TRICK IS TO DEMONSTRATE NEW WAYS IN WHICH IT CAN HELP US OR THE COMMUNITIES AROUND US.

It’s interesting to note that the year’s most popular tech spot was a delightful film featuring two things that don’t usually provoke much warmth: a spider and a smartphone. Its success allowed Samsung to feature twice in the top five, appearing again in the fourth slot with the spookily effective “iTest”, a smart salvo fired in the brand’s battle with Apple (which, by the way, was surprisingly absent). Spotify created custom songs to serenade CMOs, but the leading brands were often in community support mode, with Woojer easing treatment for kids with cystic fibrosis and Google promoting stores run by Black entrepreneurs. Once again, tech showed its human side.

Trama Our goal was not just to create another product film, but to find a way to cleverlycombine emotional storytelling with the outstanding camera features to create a larger brand story.That's why we used a very special testimonial: A little spider who falls in love with the new Galaxy S22 Ultra when she sees an advertising motif for the phone on the opposite wall.No wonder because the smartphone's camera lenses are very reminiscent of spider eyes. Following an emotional roller coaster, we witness an unforgettable happy end between spider and phone.

Trama It’s one of the most divisive choices faced by consumers today – Apple or Android? In a bold move to get Apple fans around the world to experience the Samsung interface, DDB group’s Tribal Aotearoa New Zealand has created iTest. More than 5.5 million Apple users from 234 countries have downloaded iTest, an app that appears to transform your iPhone into a Samsung. The web application mimics the operating system of an Android device, allowing consumers to experience navigation, app interaction, settings, texting/calling, and even the camera features. Initially soft launched to a small, New Zealand-only audience, iTest gained global momentum at an unprecedented rate. Haydn Kerr, Creative Partner at Tribal Aotearoa New Zealand, says they expected the idea would capture attention, but were blown away by the response across the tech world.“We soft launched it to a tiny audience in New Zealand via a social ad with minimal paid support, and from there it got picked up by MacRumours and every major tech news site around the world. We had 2 million users in the first weekend alone – that’s the power of a good idea.” After the initial launch, Tribal Aoteoroa New Zealand has been running campaigns in-store and on social to get even more iPhone fans to download iTest.DDB Group’s digital experience agency, Tribal Aotearoa New Zealand was briefed to motivate consumers to consider switching from their iPhones to Samsung devices – a simple proposition, but a near impossible task in practice. Anyone who knows an Apple user is familiar with the fanatic levels of loyalty the brand achieves among its users – conceptions that are not easy to change.
Operating on a relatively small budget and unable to launch iTest through the app store, the Tribal team creatively recommended a soft launch approach for the campaign to generate organic engagement and test the waters of public opinion.  
Consumer research and online sentiment revealed to the Tribal team that there was one driving factor preventing consumers from changing to Samsung: fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of the overly complicated, and fear of the unfamiliar would all be difficult misconceptions to dispel without allowing consumers to interact with the Samsung interface themselves, which is exactly what iTest allows.
Designed to replicate Samsung’s intuitive ‘OneUI’ user experience for Android, Tribal knew that the web app iTest operated from would need to convincingly mimic the Samsung OneUI, which was a significant development challenge.
Samsung New Zealand’s Mobile Marketing Manager John Alexander says that the success of the iTest campaign shows the power of great creative to cut through even the most hard-wired consumer behaviours.
“iTest essentially gives Apple users the chance to test-drive a Samsung from the comfort of their iPhones. It’s also a commitment-free proposition, which we believe makes consumers more open to genuine comparison between the two operating systems.”

Trama While most people rely on visuals to understand complex topics, the 285 million blind and visually impaired people worldwide are left out.Dot Pad. The first smart tactile graphics display for the visually impaired. It can display any visual content from any source.The Dot Image Processor analyzes and segments visual content, and then translates it to tactile graphics on the display which is made of 2,400 dots realized by the unique Dot actuator technology. There is also an in-built text panel for braille translation.Thanks to a partnership with Apple, Dot Pad integrates seamlessly with iOS and iPadOS, thereby giving users access to the 2.2 million apps on the App Store, out of the box. Launched in early 2022, Dot Pad has earned huge interest from the media with millions of dollars in orders. Dot Inc. is partnering with educational and governmental institutions to make the device available worldwide.
Filosofia  Dot Inc. continues blind and visually impaired communities worldwide with the Dot Pad, whose tactile display to create innovative tech to improve the lives of makes images touchable. While most people rely on visuals to understand complex topics, the 285 million blind and ople worldwide are left out. Tactile books are scarce, expensive, and impractical. Audio descriptions fail because sometimes words just aren’t enough to explain complex information. Dot Inc. with creative direction by Serviceplan Innovation launched the Dot Pad, a game changer in accessibility tech. 
Dot Pad is the first smart tactile graphics display for the visually impaired. It can display any visual content from any source because the innovative Dot Image Processing technology uses Al to analyze and understand visual input and present it most accurately on Dot Pad’s tactile display of 2,400 dots. In partnership with Apple Thanks to Dot’s collaboration with Apple, Dot Pad integrates seamlessly with iOS and iPad OS, thereby giving users access to the 2.2 million apps on the App Store, out of the box. Dot Pad reduces dependence on tactile textbooks and audio description for graphical content which sighted people are used to freely enjoying. For the first time, visually impaired people can access any visual content on the internet. Dot Pad encourages independent learning, creates further employment opportunities, and empowers diverse artists and creators. Hardware and software innovation in sync Until now, the development of functional tactile graphics devices was hindered by both hardware and software. Conventional tactile devices use piezoelectricity to power their actuators, making them bulky and expensive. Furthermore, translation of visual content into tactile one is complex. Simple vectorization or edge detection algorithms aren’t capable of producing tactile graphics that are suitable for blind users. It requires intelligence to understand what’s in an image and decide what’s important to the audience. Dot Pad solves these problems with a combination of innovative hardware and software. Dot Actuator At the core of the Dot Pad sits the third generation of the innovative Dot actuator technology. While conventional tactile devices use piezoelectricity to power their actuators, Dot Pad uniquely relies on electromagnetism, which reduces size, weight, power consumption and price by more than ten times. This dramatically increases usability and makes the Dot Pad affordable for majority of blind and visually impaired users. While the Dot actuator technology is protected by 30 patents, it’s licensed to other manufacturers to give as many people as possible the chance to benefit from it. Dot Image Processor It requires intelligence to understand what’s in an image and decide what’s important to the audience. To create comprehensible tactile content, Dot Pad relies on the innovative Dot Image Processor. It’s an AI that was trained with millions of existing visual and tactile graphics, to be able to analyze, understand and segment visual content, and translate it to tactile graphics most suitable for blind users. Supported by big tech, universities, and governments Launched in early 2022, Dot Pad has earned huge interest from the media as well as public and private institutions worldwide, with millions in dollars in orders. The Dot Pad technology is even being shared with competitors to give visually impaired people all around the world access to tactile graphics. Dot Pad technology is permanently installed in public kiosks in Busan, South Korea. Dot Pad has disrupted the field of accessibility technology with tactile graphics. To create further software and hardware support for tactile graphics, Dot Inc. is in touch with major tech companies such to create a unified tactile graphic file format and a dedicated open database of tactile graphics. Dot Inc. is partnering with many educational and governmental institutions like UC Berkley, Carnegie Mellon University, McGill University, Columbia University, Busan Public Transportation, and National Museum of Korea to name a few.

Trama On Earth Day, April 22, 2022, and to help people change their minds, Back Market and its Paris-based agency Marcel (part of Publicis Groupe) took our last chance to convince those who were about to buy a new device. Say hello to Hack Market. An operation in which we used Apple's own technology, AirDrop, to broadcast our messages inside the temples of new tech: the Apple Store, directly on Apple's best sellers: iPhones, iPads and MacBooks. The operation took place in 6 different stores in Europe (Paris, Berlin and London), letting each customer know that there is a more ecological and cheaper way to consume technology, by buying the same model, but refurbished at Back Market. A way to turn iPhones into a brand-new medium to promote an alternative consumption model.
