PROBLEM

IBM, a tech company whose Greatest Hits have included supercomputers and the floppy disc said they wanted their artificial intelligence, IBM Watson, to steal the show during the GRAMMYs.

OPPORTUNITY

But with Music’s Biggest Night already being a star-studded affair filled with musical performances, over-the-top fashion, and fans watching viewing from around the world, the real challenge was getting an audience to care.

BIG IDEA

We needed to give viewers an opportunity to see how AI could benefit their every lives. So we turned our sponsorship into a Live-Event Product Demonstration told on a Global Platform.

This second-screen experience was powered by IBM Watson but driven by fan curiosity.
