Yale
Goodbye keys, hello sales
We worked with Yale, the UK’s most trusted lock and security company, to create a campaign to engage with consumers around the subject of keyless smart door locks.
THE CHALLENGE
When it comes to smart home technology and keyless door locks, the UK public are slow adopters. Unlike our Scandinavian counterparts—where it’s now common to have a smart door lock—the challenge in the UK is to change people’s behaviour. But the market is growing rapidly, with predicted growth of 20% year on year until 2022, with most homes becoming “smart” by 2040.

THE SOLUTION
In a series of memorable short films, “Big Key” attempts to win his way back into his owner’s affections, find alternative employment, and attract the pity of passersby—all while bemoaning the Yale Smart Living door locks that have rendered him obsolete.
RESULTS
The virals were a hit. Clocking up over 50 thousand views on Yale’s social media channels, they outperformed virtually any content previously shared with the public through Facebook.
