Silent Spectacle: Launching Xandr with Visual Intrigue

As the Creative Director for the launch of Xandr, AT&T’s addressable advertising company, I orchestrated a campaign that captivated the ad industry by saying nothing at all. Instead of bombarding Cannes attendees with heavy-handed messaging, we opted for a visually striking approach, wrapping the Intercontinental Hotel in a Cristo-like fashion, adorned only with a mysterious URL.
Challenge

Breaking Through the Noise Without Words

The challenge was to generate buzz and intrigue around Xandr’s launch amidst the cacophony of Cannes without resorting to traditional advertising methods. We needed to find a way to stand out and pique curiosity without relying on verbal communication or overt messaging.

Goal

Creating Intrigue and Relevance in the Attention Economy

Our goal was to capture attention and relevance in the attention economy by leveraging visual spectacle and mystery. Addressable advertising, being an essential tool for personalized marketing, demanded a launch that mirrored its innovative nature. We aimed to position Xandr as a major contender in the industry by sparking curiosity and conversation around the brand.

Result

Generating Buzz and Industry Recognition

The Xandr launch garnered significant attention and acclaim within the advertising industry. Our silent spectacle became the talk of Cannes, attracting coverage from publications like AdAge and dominating social media conversations. The massive wrap, visible even from passing flights, reinforced Xandr’s presence and significance, solidifying its position as a major player in the addressable advertising space.
