 CES 2008 - Las Vegas - United States
Ads will run both domestically and internationally and be translated into Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese. The ads are designed to build awareness of and drive attendance to the 2008 International CES. TBC commissioned renowned modern expressionist Francis Livingston to illustrate and paint each of the 11 different ads, which include a brand ad and 10 ads for product categories represented at the show. In illustrating and painting each ad concept, the pieces allow the audience to personalize the technology according to their preferences and experiences.
