Sightful
Augmenting Reality
With Storytelling
The Ask
People don’t want their work or location to limit their possibilities. Sightful aimed to revolutionize the way people work with the launch of "The Spacetop," an innovative augmented reality laptop designed to free users from the constraints of traditional workspaces. The key marketing message needed to highlight the product's ability to enable work from anywhere in the world, appealing particularly to the growing demographic of digital nomads. However, the company faced significant constraints, including a limited budget and a tight timeline for producing a launch video that could convey this message effectively.
The budget only allowed for a single day of shooting and a single location. Given these constraints, we knew that our story would have to do the majority of the work. Rather than try to explain the technical benefits of the Spacetop, we decided to let the key emotional benefit communicate the value of the device. We leveraged the "van life" trend, which resonated with the target audience's desire for freedom and mobility. A total rainout meant that we had to do a full background replacement.
