(PRODUCT) RED
Filed Under (RED), @ POKE NY - 2007/08, Concept, Copywriting, Creative Direction, Dell, Strategic | Leave a Comment
Dell (PRODUCT)RED is live. Andrew Z and I wanted to build a site that showed the cause and effect of buying a (PRODUCT) RED computer. Basically, you do this (consume), and people in Africa get this (medication and more). Regardless of whether or not people see it as an insincere “increase their profits” thing on Dell’s part - this is how I see it. The more they sell, the more money goes to Africa. And quite frankly, that’s all I care about.

I am Gaming from Noodle on Vimeo.
“Hey, we wanna mark ourselves in the Gaming space. Ya, dig?”
We dug. And we went in there with our frags notched on our belts and gaming juice running through our veins. A lot of stuff came out of that presentation - and ultimately, none of it lived to see the light of day. Until now! Working with Mother, we created a new kind of catalog (which I’ve spliced together in the video above, minus the product pages. You can read the Gaming Catalog copy here.) The challenge as a copywriter was to tap into the spirit of gaming, while also showing how Dell computers could live in the same catalog as Alienware and gaming consoles. Because Dell sells them all.
But of course, the strategy for gaming was a two pronged instrument. We went in guns-a-blazin’ with Mother to show how things lived in perfect harmony online and off. This is how it would have lived digitally with the gaming microsite.

Dell’s ‘One’ Teaser
Filed Under @ POKE NY - 2007/08, Concept, Copywriting, Dell, Strategic, The Dead Zone | Leave a Comment
Dell is marching on with new product designs. Designs to help make them players in the style space. Here’s a nice assignment - create a teaser for Dell’s first All-in-One. Mr. Zolty and I set out to do just that. Although this concept and execution was greatly loved by us and the client, it was ultimately killed. But still, I choose to show you the glowing embers of its joy, including some banner options.
Just to give a sense of what the movement was going to be like on the homepage, we got Caius Wong to knock us out a motion study.

One of the problems of a sell point like “Phys-X card included” is that not many people really understand the what that actually means in layman’s terms. So we created a really simple unit to demonstrate. It’s simple, gets the job done, and lets you shoot a big gun.

Dell’s ‘Ready to live it’ campaign

Designed to bet the ying to Mother’s print yang, this site sadly never saw the light of day. At the top, we see the landing page state. Once you interact, the site spins to show you what’s goin’ on inside - not just the computer, but how playing on the Dell affects you physically. On the bottom right, an example of one of the banners to drive to the site.
