The Brief

Anker are one of the biggest and most successful businesses selling on Amazon. Their problem? They were positioned as a commodity and not a brand. This meant despite enormous commercial success, they were struggling to achieve growth beyond the platform; as the vast majority of consumers discovered them through general product search.

Our brief was to help Anker reposition themselves as a premium technology brand amongst tech and music lovers.

Our Thinking

To create credibility by association through a fame-building partnership between Anker, the World’s leading virtual band, Gorillaz and online event broadcaster, Live Now by headline sponsoring a truly global first, series of concerts.

The Plan

Over three days in three timezones, Gorillaz performed live with multi award winning artists, from Elton John to Double drummers, six backing singers, Robert Smith, Peter Hook and Slowthai guesting via a stunning mix of live performance, blended animation and augmented reality effects.

Our Work

Damon Albarn played master of ceremonies. Anker received a key brand presence throughout the performances, alongside logo placement across all promotional comms and an exclusive license to use Gorillaz’ image rights within their own media and marketing activity.
