This episode, we explore how Sky launched Glass, and dig out the tactics that best helped it land with audiences. As the campaign progressed, Sky realized it had to get better at telling people this TV has Sky tech inside – something audiences apparently weren’t quite picking up on.
“We realized people didn’t quite understand that we’d made a TV with all your Sky magic inside. This was a brand-new category. It wasn’t another set-top box and it wasn’t just a TV,” says Bhurji.
