Going to start by throwing some words (and some numbers) at you: exascale is the current highest number of computations a supercomputer can do in one second: one quintillion. That’s 10 to the 18th power, or 18 zeros.
In the tech community, 10/18 is Exascale Day. So we were charged with grabbing attention, and equating HPE with the most powerful supercomputers on the planet - which they have helped build.
We started with a simple but insane URL, made some OOH and print ads that weren’t quite like the rest, and a microsite that showed everyone just what HPE supercomputing has the power to do.

If you were alive in 2020, you remember the infamous Four Seasons Total Landscaping debacle. For their Super Bowl ad, Fiverr took full advantage of it and featured the FSTL owner in all her glory.
My team was asked to come up with a social activation on Twitter that would go on for the entire game, stirring up curiosity before the spot aired in the 3rd quarter. So we decided to keep the mix ups going.
We found small businesses all over the country who shared a name with some of the giant companies who were airing their own Super Bowl spots. And when those spots aired - we tweeted at the wrong one.
Our work garnered twitter exchanges with AdWeek, sufficient buzz for the spot, and a Bronze One Award for social.

Here, we were asked to find a way to connect HPE’s work to the real world through a series of videos. We landed on Scale For Good, a small series consisting of two documentary shorts. Each one features HPE clients who use HPE technology to grow their companies, and the good they can do for the world.
The first focuses on CGIAR and Digital Green, who are working together to feed the hungry.
The second stars Carnegie Clean Energy, a company trying to harness the power of waves.

When TIMES was publishing their long-awaited Women of the Year issue, we were briefed to create a print ad celebrating HPE’s female board members - specifically that they took up 5 of the 13 spots. Our first question, why is 5 out of 13 a number to celebrate?
The answer - because it’s still so much higher than the majority of corporate boards, with average female board membership at only 17%. So we asked a second question. Can we use this space to highlight that absurdity?

Typi non habent claritatem insitam; est usus legentis in iis qui facit eorum claritatem. Investigationes demonstraverunt lectores legere me lius quod ii legunt saepius. Claritas est etiam processus dynamicus, qui sequitur mutationem consuetudium lectorum.
Mirum est notare quam littera gothica, quam nunc putamus parum claram, anteposuerit litterarum formas humanitatis per seacula quarta decima et quinta decima. Eodem modo typi, qui nunc nobis videntur parum clari, fiant sollemnes in futurum.
