Case Study: DialPad

On the heels of a successful four-part campaign (see below) DialPad commissioned our team to produce their first-ever Super Bowl commercial.

Dialpad, the leading Ai-Powered Customer Intelligence Platform that is changing the way the world works together, is taking viewers back in time and into the future on February 12 with its debut Big Game ad “The Good Ai” featuring 42 (yes, 42!) Ai references from the past and present.

The ad pays homage to the most pivotal moments in artificial intelligence history—and speaks to what’s to come as Ai powers the future of work. Ai fanatics, the Ai-curious, robo enthusiasts, and pop culture connoisseurs venturing on this AI easter egg hunt can get started with these clues.

See if you can spot them all in the ad:
- A cute virtual assistant on the moon
- Do you want to stay in the simulation?
- The iconic Ai test
- The OG Ai transportation
- One of the earliest AI characters, introduced in this classic 1968 film
- Check mate
- Fall in love with an Ai OS
- Robots from the future
- Mortal keychain pet
