People love their smartphones. And while they think that's because of the screen or the camera or all those apps, the reality is that what people really love – what they can't live without – is the Qualcomm technology that makes it all possible. After all, Qualcomm invented the smart behind every phone.

The 'Ignore This' spots acknowledge that when commercial breaks come on while you’re watching TV, a lot of people naturally look to their smartphones to see what’s going on. But since Qualcomm invented the technology that makes smartphones so mesmerizing and indispensable, they are totally okay with that. So watch the commercial, or go ahead and “ignore this” and check your smartphone. Either way, you're getting a whole lot of Qualcomm.

The campaign runs through September 30 across TV, OOH, digital, social and print.
