The ask:
To create a film-led campaign that highlights the power of having a HP Smart Tank printer at your disposal when running your own SOHO business.
The solution:
To position the HP Smart Tank as the business partner that gives SOHO business owners a winning edge by helping them make small tasks more efficient.
The aim of the film is to highlight HP Smart Tank’s multiple key features in a lighthearted, and comedic way, while subtly comparing itself to its main competitors. To bring out that humour, we worked with celebrated director Vitto and the Thai production house, Taprod.
Synopsis:
Two neighbours happen to start two similar small businesses: coffee shops. They do everything themselves from fixing lights to making coffee and cleaning tables, but are having a slower start than they’d like.
Lucky for one of them, he has the HP Smart Tank, and all its smart features at his disposal.
The KVs were shot with the intention of showing the benefits of owning the HP Smart Tank as a SOHO business owner. They were then adapted into targeted Google and social ads to create intrigue in the product benefits.
