Why is this work relevant for Film?
Quick. Name another long-running, long-form B2B edutainment series that blends equal parts real product demos with relatable human stories.
We couldn’t either.
The Underdogs is our most successful B2B campaign and arguably the most unique storytelling platform of its kind.
Back for the fourth consecutive year, the Underdogs tell a story that matters to all businesses big and small — Security.
Please provide any cultural context that would help the Jury understand any cultural, national or regional nuances applicable to this work.
Security matters for every company. Problem is, it’s a subject matter that’s nerdy and arcane. Even worse, with most security features being back-end tech, it’s almost impossible tell a story about something people rarely see.
Write a short summary of what happens in the film
“Swiped” is an action-comedy chase film that centers around an employee’s stolen laptop. And for the first time, our device becomes the main character in the award-winning Underdogs franchise.
This film celebrates our ever-vigilant, always-on Security features such as Notify When Left Behind, Touch ID, FindMy, Remote Lock and Wipe in action. With the simple message that no matter what happens, our security ecosystem is there to save the day.
Background:
We needed to tell a story that matters to all businesses big and small — Security.
But Security isn’t an easy topic to talk about.
It’s a subject that’s nerdy and arcane. And with most security features being back-end tech, it’s almost impossible to make a film about something people rarely see.
So how did we get everyone sitting up to a bunch of boring and esoteric features? We made Security… EXCITING.
