Objectives

 

While Lenovo Yoga is a creator-first laptop series, our competitor had a lion’s share of the market. Despite Apple MacBook's market share growing 2x year-on-year in India, our laptop share remained stagnant.  :/ :/ 

 

In 2023, we decided to shake things up. We aimed to remind creative individuals, especially Gen Z, that an Intel-powered Lenovo Yoga is not just a laptop—it's a creator's best friend. 

 

LET'S UNLEASH THEIR CREATIVE GENIUS! 

 

Strategy and Execution

 

The most asked question among creators in 2023 was : 

WILL AI BE THE DEATH OF ART?  
 

We saw this question as an opportunity. Our strategy was to demonstrate how good our machines are, by challenging our artists to push both their creative limits and those of our Lenovo Yoga laptops. 

 

INSIGHT 
 

Our audience was no longer satisfied with just good art. They appreciated the creative thinking and the craft that went into making something truly artistic. Authenticity emerged when the creative process behind the camera took center stage—the true masterpiece. 
 

Using this insight, we decided to bring together artists from various mediums to envision a world never seen before—a Museum of the Future. 

 

MICRO INFLUENCER STRATEGY 

 

Two next-generation artists looked 500 years into the future.

Siddhant Gandhi @toosid, a 3D maestro and Madhav Kohli @mvdhav, an AI virtuoso, explored advancements in AI to craft the virtual future museum. We pushed their artistic boundaries even further. 

Our reality series - Brave New Art, captured their creative process for the world to see. 

 

REALITY SERIES THAT BECAME A ONE-OF-A-KIND PRODUCT VIDEO 

 

The struggle of our artists is what engaged our audiences. What goes into crafting a piece that not only embodies their vision of the future but also inspires? This was also where the true test of our machines took place.  

Rendering for the future in minutes is no easy feat. Thus, we never had to force product integration into the storyline. 

 

STREAMING INSPIRATION 

 

The biggest praise came when we were offered a spot on India's leading streaming platform, Disney+ Hotstar. 

4 Episodes. 2 Seasons. All in One Year!  

 

ON-GROUND ACTIVATION 

 

Inspired by the Museum of the Future, we also allowed audiences to try their hand at AI-generated art. This Future Citizenship Programme enabled people to create their AI-imagined future selves.
