Gyro San Francisco teamed up with ROOF Studio to launch a digital campaign for Toshiba entitled “Bring Life Forward.”
A new 50-second spot promotes Toshiba’s “plans to create clean smart communities through green infrastructure.” Gyro and ROOF envision a near future where wind and solar energy are widespread. To visualize this they show a woman look out her window and then reach through her tablet, her hand becoming a tool that transforms power plants into wind turbines and installs solar panels on the roofs of houses. At the end of the spot, the city landscape is transformed into a futuristic version of itself. It’s a visually imaginative way to show Toshiba’s Smart Community initiative, and comes across as intriguing and memorable. As it is just the beginning of a larger digital campaign, it will be interesting to see how it unfolds from here.
