Beyond Shopping

The original 2022 campaign focused on Gen Z, and only showcased the shopping feature within the app. This gave us the chance to advance the look, feel, and style of the campaign.

Targeting the general population of Canada, Hook created scenarios showcasing the full range of Google app features: Multisearch, Translate, Shopping, Discover, ID, Hum to Search, and AR.

Be a local. Wherever you are.

To make sure the ads we made for Canadians were relevant, we utilized audience research to hone in on insights that felt genuine. Our production company and director were both Toronto locals, and by filming in Canada, we guaranteed that each video would look familiar to our target audience.

To address the dual languages, we cast French Canadian talent, to ensure we had natural regional diction.

We also optimized our production to deliver a wide variety of assets that would feel native to different social platforms. Beyond cutdowns, we developed unique approaches for TikTok and Snapchat compared to YouTube and Facebook.

Our partners at Google gave us the freedom to improve upon the 2022 campaign, which led to relatable and memorable ads, resulting in wider Google app usage all across Canada.
