Decision making:
Refined the original concept to shift the hero from the toolbag to the colleague, integrating AI mechanical arms as an extension of the expert — strengthening alignment with the Beyond Techspectations theme.
Secured and maximised production budget to deliver a dedicated photoshoot, enabling more natural, character-led performance and personality in the visuals.
Combined photography with 3D rendering and post-production to achieve greater realism while maintaining creative control over positioning, poses, and integration of AI elements.
Partnered closely with the Copy team to develop a distinctive, on-brand headline that brought personality to the idea while clearly delivering against the brief.
Consolidated previously fragmented category strands into a single, flexible hero asset that now works seamlessly across all categories.
Outcome:
A distinctive, ownable character and visual device that makes repair feel smart, futuristic, and reassuringly effortless.
Strong internal reception led to the platform being expanded beyond the initial scope, successfully adapting the idea to additional propositions including recycling, installation, and delivery.
