Tile, the Bluetooth-enabled tracking device, has launched its first-ever brand campaign, the centerpiece being this spot titled “Lost Panda” directed by Mark Molloy of Smuggler for ad agency Deutsch.
The piece follows the story of a stuffed panda bear who is trying to find his way back home with the help of the Tile community. The new tagline “Together We Find” hints at the brand’s community where people can easily and anonymously help each other find whatever they’ve lost.
ALT VFX and Legacy Effects handled visual effects on the piece which features the “Girl in My Dreams” track composed and performed by Stephan Altman of Mophonics.

Created by Apple’s in-house agency and directed by David Shane of production company O Positive, this commercial is one of two which continues the Apple Intelligence campaign for the iPhone 16.
