The Martin Agency devised a campaign for Moen’s Reflex Faucet which automatically retracts back into place after use. Besides its mainstream TV campaign which compares the Reflex to things people wish would put themselves away (laundry, dishes, tools), The Martin Agency is also deploying some online videos featuring how the Reflex technology has inspired some local makers to imagine and create real-life inventions that put themselves back to where they originally were.
In this video in the Moen Inventor Series, Mike Kelley, strategic planner/maker, talked about how his young daughter is always throwing her sippy cup on the floor. He wondered, “Wouldn’t it be great if my daughter’s sippy cup could put itself away?” So he worked with some technologists and designers to create a highchair with a system similar to Moen’s Reflex system. Every time his daughter throws her cup, it puts it back where it belongs.
