Project DescriptionBAT AND BALL ARE OUTRAGEOUS, RIDICULOUS, AND THEY KNOW BASEBALL. As the oldest sports rivals of all time, they provide a unique perspective on sports and MLB The Show. Their job is to give life to the weirdness of baseball, make people laugh, and help fans deepen their relationship with the sport.

We partnered with IGN as content hosts and released 4 episodes (there were 5 but one died due to content).

In addition, Bat & Ball became the periodic voice for MLB 15 The Show at various times through twitter, instagram, facebook and their own microsite.

Project DescriptionOld Spice partnered with ESPN’s SportsCenter to air a live battle between their two most powerful and recognizable spokesmen, “The Man Your Man Can Smell Like” (Isaiah Mustafa) and Terry Crews. In an attempt to persuade sports fans to choose their scent over the other muscleman’s scent, the two spokesmen took shots at each other all over the SportsCenter set by dressing as sports anchors, imitating athletes, exploding out of the set, and even hiring their own VO actor to interrupt the famous voice of ESPN. This strange yet beautiful media partnership was a perfect blend of branded entertainment and powerful smell celebrities.

CAMPAIGN RUN DATES
9/21/2015-4/12/2016

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES
For decades, Intel has been known as an ingredient brand, rarely taking credit for the experiences it makes possible. Early in 2015, on the cusp of a global brand campaign, Manifesto helped Intel launch a new brand platform and promise to a network of 106,000 employees: Intel Inside Makes Amazing Experiences Possible Outside.

Armed with this new brand positioning, Intel challenged Manifesto to create a campaign to engage employees and instill this new brand promise into their concept of Intel. This couldn’t be just another marketing campaign. Employees had to live it, experience it and believe it for themselves.

In an often siloed work environment where Intel employees focus primarily on their individual jobs, the campaign needed to showcase how every employees’ contributions Inside make Amazing Possible Outside. Our deepest insight: despite being on the cutting edge of shaping tomorrow’s technology, employees are often the last ones to experience the technology for themselves. That had to change.

The primary objectives of the campaign included:
1. Connect employees to the outcome of their work
2. Enable employees to experience and own the brand
3. Arm employees with the latest technology
4. Transform employees into powerful brand advocates
5. Drive external social conversation about the brand, led by employees
6. Position employees as innovative thought leaders to friends and family

The InsideOut Experience was born.

As part of a global integrated campaign, the experience needed to reach across the world to activate at 27 Intel campuses in 13 countries and showcases the technology and product innovations that Intel employees make possible everyday.
Three shipping containers constructed simultaneously on three continents were designed to embody the literal manifestation of what Intel looks like from the Inside out. Designed as the culmination of a larger, integrated campaign from building and elevator wraps, to green screen activations, employee innovation highlight videos and a digital platform that allowed employees to share out via social the latest and greatest innovations from Intel.
Executed concurrently on three continents, The InsideOut Experience became the rallying cry for employees to literally “Let The Inside Out.” Launching just after the 50th Anniversary of Moore’s Law, it invited employees to experience the depth and breadth of Intel and lay claim to the new promise: that their contributions Inside make Amazing Possible Outside.

SOLUTION
To truly Let The Inside Out and get employees’ hands on technology, we had to create a disruptive experience that brought them out of the office and immersed them in the technology they helped make possible. The InsideOut Experience (IOE) is a global, experiential tour consisting of three 40’ shipping containers that embody and showcase the most advanced technology and innovation that Intel has kept secret for so long. Laying claim to “Mind Blowing Experiences”, each zone features a rich, hands-on engagement with everything from the latest tablets to wearables, product prototypes, custom gaming systems and more.

The Fab of the Future, a custom Oculus Rift sequence transports employees into a futuristic exploration of what Intel sites could be like in 50 years. Operating from near earth orbit in the year 2065, we challenged employees to test their skills, explore the Fab of The Future and uncover imaginative future technology—all powered by Intel.

The Product Gallery includes the most innovative Intel-based products showcasing interactive games and demos on tablets, 2-in-1s, and wearables, including the fashion meets function Mica Bracelet. Video content on screen provides 3D rendering sequences that explain key product features while one zone highlights a hero video of an Intel employee who harnessed her motorcycle passion to develop a smart helmet that uses voice commands to communicate with the motorcycle, and could ultimately save lives.

Other zones included the latest and greatest 6th Generation Intel Processor devices, a hands-free RealSense flight racing simulator, and robotic dancing totems that mirror the movements of participants using camera-based, RealSense interactive technology. Custom-built mobile kiosks created a space for 3D printed spiderbots – wirelessly controlled robotic spiders driven by Edison technology and controlled using any smartphone or tablet.

Participants were also able to experience 3D object scanning and printing using Intel RealSense powered HP Sprout and corresponding Dremel 3D printer.

The container housing these experiences was outfitted with 16 monitors and a custom-built content management system. The screens highlighted individual employee stories and photography that supported the Let the Inside Out campaign. Each product was accompanied by a placard highlighting the features of each device along with details on the Intel processor inside.

A green screen activation zone allows attendees to personalize their InsideOut Experience with a custom-photo integration immediately emailed to them.

TECHNOLOGY LEVERAGED
By partnering with a broad swath of vendors Manifesto created a unique space built to highlight Intel’s amazing technology and help inspire employees to interact and engage with a wide variety of devices.
The custom Fab of The Future Oculus Rift experience, driven by the powerful Alienware gaming system, was inspired by a visit to an Intel fabrication site and was concepted based on Moore’s Law which postulates: that “Anything that can be done, can be outdone”. By imagining Moore’s Law in action, the experience fast-forwarded employees to 50 years in the future to an Intel fabrication site in space, with holographic chips, hover boards and interactive robots all while orbiting Earth.
The entire container was outfitted with digital screens showing off unique attributes of the technology inside the container. The technology spinning 360 circles with accompanying animated views helped highlighted the tech and its specs from all angles.

RESULTS
Before Manifesto launched the Inside Out Experience, employees had a hard time understanding how their work and contributions make a larger global impact on delivering on their brand promise. Many didn’t have a chance to see the end product or experience Intel technology that is driving some of the most advanced products and experiences.
The Inside Out Experience helped employees understand the impact of their work. For the first time, many were able to get their hands on cutting edge Intel technology and see it in action. The technology, combined with storytelling around products and key employees who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, created an engagement experience unlike any other. The experience generated an average of 30-40% employee attendance across all sites excluding friends and families that were also in attendance. With one Intel campus still remaining on the tour, we’ve already seen over 28,788 employees visit the IOE. Employees spent an average of 27 minutes exploring the experience and learning about new technology. Employees’ main reason for visiting the experience was to learn more about Intel’s latest technology (70%). 72% of visitors rated the value of their experience as extremely valuable. 93% of attendees agreed with the statement “Intel makes amazing experiences possible.”

Project DescriptionFirst Tech Federal Credit Union is one of the most technology savvy and security-conscious financial institutions in the world, in part thanks to its role as the financial institution of choice for the world’s largest technology companies including Amazon, Intel and Microsoft. But how do you tell a security story in an exciting way that speaks to members, potential members and other financial institutions?

#selfies

First Tech partnered with MasterCard to pilot a new biometrics payment method that utilizes fingerprint scanning and self portraits to verify online payments for fraud prevention. To breathe excitement and context into a technical security topic, we seeded the the pilot to press as ‘selfie pay’ to draw attention in a fun and relatable way tied to a pop culture trend.

Results:

Pitching national business and West Coast influencers in key First Tech markets and financial trade outlets, our outreach greatly expanded the awareness of First Tech on a national scale while positioning the Mountain View, Calif.-based CU as a leader in payment security with first-ever placements in MarketWatch, Business Insider and The Daily Mail.
• 44+ million impressions nationwide
• 51 placements across national, financial trade and regional/local business outlets
• First U.S. Institution to test biometrics payment verification for online purchases with MasterCard

Project DescriptionMore than summits and finish lines, CLIF Bar believes the real heart of adventure lies with spontaneity and rolling with the unexpected. Rather than tell people about CLIF’s point of view on adventure, we built a digital experience that immersed users in CLIF’s version of adventure. The highlight was an interactive video that repurposed standard YouTube annotations to sent users on a choose your own adventure digital journey. Users were driven to the full length interactive YouTube experience via a shortform teaser video and as of Feb 2016, almost 2MM people had spent an average of 7:46 per view with the video.

Project DescriptionHaving a scope with thermal vision makes it much easier to find your target. How much easier? It’s almost like there’s a giant neon sign pointing you to where you need to look.

We created this piece of print collateral to illustrate the benefits of thermal vision to hunters and tactical soldiers. The more conceptual approach stood out in an industry that often falls flat with simple product shots.

Project DescriptionThe firm is located on the sixth floor of an old furniture company building built in 1910. The artwork is completely hand-painted in silver leaf and black paint using traditional methods. It measures 40 x 47 inches and appears as a reflective mirror finish from the outside. The irony of being six floors up means that not many can actually appreciate it. The best view is from the top four levels of a parking structure across the street.

Project DescriptionIt’s pretty hard to describe what it feels like to win the lottery. So difficult, in fact, that it really can’t be expressed in just words.

With a limited budget (half of which went to music licensing), we brought that jackpot feeling to life through song, dance, and some ridiculous visual effects. The result – increased sales and a classic rock song permanently stuck in our heads.

Project DescriptionWillamette Week’s Give!Guide is an annual giving program put on by Portland’s #1 alternative newsweekly. From November - December, the program puts over 140 local nonprofits under one digital roof, making it easy for people to discover causes they care about.

Despite raising over $3 million in 2014, Give!Guide needed awareness among donors under 35, aka the future lifeblood of nonprofits.

And since the holidays are flooded with nicey-nice charity campaigns, BPN sought to diverge from the status quo. Based on the insight that we’ve all done a few things we’re not so proud of, the “Been a little bad? Do a little good.” campaign positions Give!Guide as the road to redemption after a year’s worth of naughtiness.

The television campaign launched with “Confessions,” which featured local actors and influencers like Project Runway winner Michelle Lesniak and Live!Wire Radio host Jason Rouse. Three subsequent spots were released throughout the campaign, which portrayed relatable “been a little bad” scenarios.

Project DescriptionDigital One was hired to create a web video that not only presented the climbing life lived by the most committed of climbers, but reinforced Black Diamond as the brand leader in the industry, and to launch the #liveclimbrepeat campaign.

At its core, climbing rocks is a very simple pursuit. However, the details of a life based around climbing are nuanced and many. A story was crafted out of hours of footage of story interviews conducted with climbers. These interviews were shaped into a story arc chronicling the sacrifices and payoffs of living to climb. Music was crafted to carefully tell the story, subtly combining organic sounds with industrial ideas. This sonic landscape was then married with the black and white images, highlighting Black Diamond as a purveyor of the equipment and clothing used to climb. The result is a film of an honest portrayal of the life that the most committed climbers live and the ideals that they hold true.
