Wongdoody launched a new campaign for the Amazon Echo with two 30-second spots showing the capabilities of the new device.
Both spots show a man seamlessly interacting with the device, whose AI goes by “Alexa,” which responds quickly on the fly well beyond basic commands. “Do Alines Exist?” opens with the man asking Alexa to tell him the news. When she shares a story about scientists discovering a planet which closely resembles Earth, he follows the ad’s titular question. Rather than a simple answer, the device addresses the complexity of the question, responding, “There is no evidence of alien life, but the universe is very big.”
In “Roadtrip to Pluto,” a man responds to news of new images of Pluto by asking how far away the celestial dwarf is and then requesting that Alexa play his road trip mix.
That spot is a tad on the silly side, but it still does an adequate job of showcasing Amazon’s device. Both spots overlay text from positive reviews of the Amazon Echo on top of the action, which is sort of an eyesore, even if it does speak to the value of the device.
