Ogilvy & Mather recently launched a new integrated campaign for IBM entitled “Watson at Work.”
The effort shows how Watson helps with everything from “Engineering,” “Energy” and “Security” to “Wine,” “Basketball” and “Golf.” Watson still has a thing to learn about when to keep quiet, though, if “Golf” and “Insurance” are any indication.
The newest spot in the campaign, “The Whisperer” makes its broadcast debut today during coverage of the PGA’s Masters Tournament. It shows how Watson helps aviation mechanics identify potential problems, even if the program is less helpful with the coffee maker.
The wide-ranging campaign shows the wide array of applications for IBM’s artificial intelligence, some of which are more expected than others. It may not surprise you, for, example, that the program’s analysis can help with engineering or security initiatives, but its ability to analyze satellite data to determine irrigation practices is a bit less expected.
