IBM Watson

Series at the US Open for Olgilvy
When IBM’s Watson made its premiere on Jeopardy against two of the show’s all-time greats, and won, many wanted to know more about this clever computer. We helped Olgilvy create a series of animated spots detailing the range of Watson’s cognitive abilities for the US Open.

what we did

Showcase a new generation of technology that finds answers in unstructured data. Whimsical animated sequences serve as the background to demonstrate the benefits of machine learning for the medical and scientific fields.
