Google Answers Every Question About the Pixel 2 in Two Breathless Minutes
Fast-paced anthem is stuffed with influencers
This week on the Adweek podcast, we talked about the virtues of slow-TV-like advertising and the power of getting quieter. But Google and Droga5 move boisterously in the other direction in their new anthem spot for the Pixel 2 smartphone.
Got questions about the Pixel 2? This commercial has answers—plenty of them, in rapid-fire succession, sometimes coming before you’ve even finished your question, and all of them illustrated by poppy set-piece visuals showing how the phone will brighten up your already Technicolor life.
The theme of the spot is “Ask more of your phone,” and it feels quite YouTube-y in its inclusion of a bunch of influencer cameos, featuring Salt Bae, rapper Young MA, British weatherman Michael Fish, David LaChapelle, Dua Lipa, animators Stoopid Buddies and more.
“It’s a film that celebrates Google’s love for questions and how they push us forward and nicely tee’s up Google Pixel 2 as the perfect answer,” say the press materials. “Now it’s time to question that precious thing in your pocket, and ‘Ask More’ of your phone.”
