Google Home Mini // The Launch

Problem
Launch this little device (just after Amazon’s launched the Alexa-powered Echo Dot) and make the Google Home Mini top of mind going into Christmas.

Solution
Create a distinct visual identity and cheeky tone of voice, to make Mini stand out from the slice-of-life work of Amazon and Siri. And then go big: from film to a traveling donut shop, to a Santa appearance and the lighting of the 30Rock Christmas Tree.

 

Leading the tireless team that launched Google Home Mini was all-consuming, but the campaign absolutely crushed Google’s sales goals, so … worth it. We pushed Mini out of the marketing sea-of-sameness within the tech world, and launched with a cut-through visual system and cheeky tone of voice. Then we went after everything from film to a Stranger Things integration. A huge little launch, the way only Google can.

 

One. big. launch.

A POP-UP DONUT SHOP

 

For a while we thought there’d be headlines for this campaign, too. But instead, Google loved one headline so much that they turned it into a pop-up shop which let people answer questions for the chance to win a Mini. Or at least, a donut.
