Idris Elba returns as ServiceNowโs brand ambassador and evangelist CEO in this campaign from BBDO New York positioning the platform as providing a single solution that delivers AI to people across every corner of a company.
Directed by Matt Aselton of Arts & Sciences, the campaign includes this spot titled โConnecting Cornersโ in which Elba--accompanied by a skeptical sidekick--walks through a company, pointing out how AI is helping everyone work better, together.
Elba continues to prove heโs not just a spokesperson, but a true partner, with plans to integrate ServiceNow products across his own companies and partnering with ServiceNow to take on a project thatโs near and dear to his heart โ bringing Sherbro Island off the coast of Sierra Leone into the 21st Century by creating sustainable energy and clean water resources.
Jim Lesser, chief brand officer of ServiceNow, said, โIn this campaign, Idris Elba knows that ServiceNow is the secret sauce to transforming business. We wanted to show how our platform makes AI agents work across every corner of business, solving problems, boosting productivity, and bringing everything together.โ
