Juno AI
Product Launch
Situation
Juno, an Acuity Brands company, was entering the smart home tech market with the launch of an innovative family of smart downlights – including the flagship product Juno AI Speaker Light with Alexa Built-In. This was the company’s first high tech home product targeting two new audiences for the brand – consumers and home builders.
The agency designed and deployed multiple campaigns from teasing audiences at the new CES show to engaging home tech aficionados, home builders, media and influences during the official launch campaign. Our ultimate goal was to introduce and build brand for Juno AI among both the consumer and trade audiences.
