Powermat "lose the cords" campaign launch

NY-based creative agency Woods Witt Dealy& Sons has created a global integrated campaign to launch Powermat (www.powermat.com), a new wireless charging device that defies categorization. The TV campaign, which broke this week, captures the reactions most people have when seeing or using the Powermat for the first time, i.e., WTF?

“We wanted to be engaging and interruptive without obscuring Powermat's functionality,” said Harry Woods, partner and co-creative director at WWD&S. “In other words, be product focused but in a surprising way,” added longtime partner Gill Witt. “We set out to capture the ‘what the &*#@?’ response people have when experiencing Powermat for the first time,” said Woods.
