iRobot roomba- Free your hands

  • Chunbo Wang

According to statistics, in the UK, an average family spends nearly 20 hours a week on doing housework. It means that many people have to use a traditional vacuum cleaner to clean the room after a busy day, and they lose a lot of leisure time on this. In other words, they have been kidnapped by housework. Roomba can solve this problem through automatic cleaning, helping people solve the problem of housework and save time. However, many people do not understand the features of Roomba, it is time for them to understand and buy Roomba to free their hands. Proposition: Free your hands.

We created an advertising campaign called “Free your hands” for Roomba. Campaign will include online promotion, ambient advertising and offline advertising. By showing our target audience how Roomba can improve their quality of life, then attract them to buy and use Roomba.
We divided our target audience into four specific types who are tired of using traditional vacuum cleaners for housework. In order to attract them to join us, we designed four scenes based on their daily lives. In the poster, everything floats in the air, only Roomba works on the ground. By this way we can show that Roomba is very quiet, and can automatically clean the room without corners. Using Roomba can free your hands and give you more time to do what you want to do.
