Dell, HP, Intel, Lenovo and Microsoft are collaborating for the
first time on a joint advertising campaign that showcases the
exciting innovation in today’s newest personal computers (PCs).
The combination of Intel’s best processors ever – 6th Generation
Intel® Core™ processors – Microsoft’s latest Windows operating
system – Windows 10 – and some of the thinnest and most
innovative designs ever from Dell, HP and Lenovo was the driving
force for these companies to align around an aspirational and
educational message for the PC category.
The six-week campaign, which begins Oct. 19 in the United States
and China, highlights the significant innovation in today’s PCs,
prompting consumers to ask “PC Does What?” and inspiring them to
question whether their current PC can do the same. The integrated
campaign will run across TV, digital and social elements,
complemented by native advertising, to reinforce the advanced
capabilities of the modern PC.
PC Does What
Today’s PCs categorically represent a major leap forward for all
users, from mobile workers to gamers, delivering a range of
exciting experiences and significant advancements over older
systems. These include:
- Leave the power cord behind –
the latest PCs offer true wireless flexibility with battery power
that lets you work uninterrupted for hours on end;1
- Immerse yourself in the game –
with higher resolution, better details and faster frame rates,
these new PCs deliver amazing gaming experiences with up to 30
times better graphics versus a 5-year-old system;2
- Smile and log in – no need to
remember a password when you can log in to the PC with your face
using facial recognition;3
- Don’t waste time waiting – get
tablet-like responsiveness in the latest 2 in 1 PCs that power on
instantly with the touch of a button.
The campaign’s five TV spots each highlight a different feature
that surprises and delights the consumer. The campaign uses native
advertising to create storylines through editorial and video that
will show, share and personalize PC experiences in a relatable way.
The PCdoeswhat.com microsite serves as the campaign landing page,
giving consumers direct links to the native content and interactive
information about the various PCs and features showcased throughout
the campaign.
The joint campaign is designed to complement each
company’s respective fourth quarter marketing efforts and will
conclude on Nov. 30.
The new PCs highlighted in the campaign and more are currently
on the market, with more expected to arrive in time for the
holidays.
