How often do agencies get to tag along on deep sea adventures?
OK, probably more than most. A new campaign from Amsterdam Worldwide for Taiwanese tech company Asus is a solid entry in the “actually, it’s a short film” category.
The first of two spots showcasing the client’s hardware stars freediver Sofía Gómez Uribe, whose life is “always on the go, a constant adventure.” In the artsiest product demo we’ve seen this week, she wears a custom suit powered by the Asus Transformer 3 Pro and synced with her heart rate to go 83 meters deep.
That was pretty impressive. But we will stay on the surface looking down, thank you very much.
The next, very different ad in this campaign features David Fischer, founder of the fashion/culture magazine and website Highsnobsociety, explaining how he turned said snobbery into a legitimate business with the help of the trusty Asus ZenBook.
That one was a little less interesting, and Fischer’s “Just do what you enjoy most” doesn’t always lead to success.
Maybe we’re a little jealous of a dude who created a media company all by himself. And his office looks a bit like that of a chief creative officer, too.
