Globant and GUT Slyly Skewer A.I. Hype Overload
A.I.! A.I.! A.IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
It's like that's all we ever hear about these days. And this trend continues in an amusing :60 from software developer Globant and GUT Buenos Aires.
The scene takes place in a conference room, where consultancy types start frothing about ChatGPT and such as vexed clients seek an escape.
Naturally, Globant positions itself as a knowledgeable, hype-free alternative, the true A.I. experts. The firm vows to help brands cut through the "bullshit" as they seek to navigate our brave new world.
Deployed under Globant's "Stuck in Consultancy" banner, the work began rolling out this week. Previous spots in the series, with a similar comic tone, include "1,000 Slides" and "Copy & Paste.")
Extremely well executed, the campaign does a fine job of casting Globant as an expert ally. In a sense, it deflates the most annoying aspects of our shared A.I. mania while hyping such innovations in entertaining ways. Our incoming machine overloads will surely approve!
"The previous commercials worked very well, so we decided to repeat the same dynamic," agency ECDs and partners Matías Lafalla and Ramiro R. Gamallo tell Muse. "As we say in football: You don't change a winning team. So, we called Luis Gerard again, a great director, and we flew part of the previous cast to Buenos Aires, which is where it was filmed. We hope that this saga will be a hallmark of the Globant brand."
