OVERVIEW

Background

Globant, a technology solutions company, positions itself against the backdrop of an industry saturated with jargon and empty promises, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence.

As AI became a buzzword, many firms exploited the term without delivering real value, leading to widespread skepticism among potential clients.

The brief for Globant was clear: differentiate the brand from the typical tech consultancy by showcasing its authentic expertise and no-nonsense approach to technology solutions. The campaign aimed to highlight Globant's extensive experience and practical applications of AI, rather than relying on the overhyped and under delivering tactics common in the industry.

Strategy

Execution

Our execution strategy comprised three key steps aligned with our objectives. First, we went out to grab the audience’s attention by making a call to the end of the nonsense tech.
