    ENGINE Helps To Rock the Vote With PSA Featuring HBO and HBO Max Talent

    By SHOOTUpdated:No Comments3269 Views

    HBO Max and Rock the Vote are kicking off a partnership that encourages voters to highlight the issues that have most affected their daily lives, families and communities. Viewers are encouraged to join the conversation started by @HBOMax and @HBO and fill in the blank –– that they will “#VoteBecause __________ Depends On It” — on social media to spread the word about why they’re heading to the polls this election. 

    A component of this campaign is this PSA created by the agency team at ENGINE featuring talent from a variety of HBO and HBO Max original programming wearing face masks that prominently showcase the issues most important to them as the election approaches.

    The resonant PSA features Spike Lee, Natasha Rothwell, Robin Thede, Samantha Bee and others representing issues like equality, Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ rights, reproductive justice, and climate change. Henry Winkler closes the spot with his message to “Vote Early.”

    To further fuel the conversation, a selection of more than 20 topical and critically acclaimed HBO and HBO Max documentaries that cover civil rights, the environment, women’s rights, health in America, the economy, civic engagement, and elections past and future are available to stream for free on HBOMax.com and HBO.com through November 8. Available titles include award-winning films like HBO’s “True Justice: Bryan Stevenson’s Fight For Equality” and recent debuts including HBO Max’s “On The Trail: Inside the 2020 Primaries.”

    “We are proud to launch this interactive campaign in partnership with Rock the Vote during a time when so many important issues are dominating our national discourse,” said Dana Lichtenstein, VP, Brand Marketing, HBO and HBO Max. “This campaign not only aligns with Rock the Vote’s mission to increase voter registration and turnout for the 2020 presidential election, but stresses the importance of issues that touch our daily lives. Instead of simply telling people to vote, we want to give our audience the opportunity to explain why they want to vote and to help translate their most important issues into action.”

    O2 and VCCP’s faith Agency Scam The Scammers With AI Granny

    Friday, November 15, 2024

    With one in five Brits (22%) experiencing a fraud attempt every single week, telecommunications company O2 and VCCP London’s AI creative agency faith have launched what's billed as a first-of-its-kind campaign to fight back against scammers.

    At the heart of the campaign is Daisy, a lifelike, state-of-the-art, Conversational AI character designed to speak with scammers and keep them on the phone for as long as possible so they have less time to try and scam real people.

    The newest member of O2’s fraud prevention team, Daisy was created using a range of cutting-edge AI technology and is indistinguishable from a real person. Based on a real-life relative of a VCCP employee to ensure total believability, Daisy was built to play on scammers’ own stereotypical views that older people are easier targets for scams. While anyone can be a victim of a scam, criminal fraud gangs often target the elderly, so by leaning into scammers’ own biases, Daisy became the perfect scambaiter.

    Phoney fraudsters--including many posing as some of the UK’s most trusted businesses--thought they’d got their hands on an easy target, but Daisy has been beating them at their own horrible game, answering scam calls and wasting scammers calls as part of an awareness campaign which exposes fraudsters tricks and tactics and offers top tips on how to avoid scammers.

    Daisy is able to interact in real-time ensuring no suspicions are raised on the other end of the line, and has worked 24/7, and over the course of many hours of scam calls she’s told meandering stories of her family, talked at length about her passion for knitting and provided false personal information including made-up bank details.
