Back in 2014, I was featured on an IBM US campaign: “Made with IBM” with 60 different TV spots shown during the US Masters.
A number of publications profiled the spots such as the New York Times, Forbes, and AdAge.
You can watch my spot below.
What is truly interesting about the 60 or so TV spots generated, is the use of IBM’s own employees for many of the commercials.
At a keynote speech IBM’s CEO Ginni Rometty delivered at the Council on Foreign Relations in March 2013, Host Jim Owens asked Ginni “Does IBM, do you believe have a culture that truly differentiates itself from other companies either in a technology space of more broadly?”
The question and Ginni’s answer can be seen at the 47:24 mark in the video below, which talks about how IBMers are different and how IBMers aspire to live the IBM values.
As a celebration of the 17 IBMers that appeared in TV spots during the new “Made with IBM” campaign, I originally listed their spots, along with the names of the IBMers featured.
Unfortunately, all these videos have been removed from YouTube.
