Cementing its reputation as the UK\u2019s most innovative telecommunications brand, O2\u2019s latest collaboration is a celebration of how tech can be more than simply functional, but that it can be art.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To promote this tech-forward partnership, O2 has collaborated with creative designer and coder <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/andreiongd.cargo.site\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anderion De Castro<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, who has created four exclusive art pieces which hero beautiful coded designs which if cracked will reveal a mystery message. Bringing the powerful partnership to life, the bespoke coded artwork has been created incorporating the O2 logo within the design. The new campaign, celebrates O2 as the only UK network to give tech-curious Brits exclusive access to the new Phone (1), allowing them to tap into the raw beauty of innovative and forward-thinking technology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Placing the partnership at the heart of the nation\u2019s biggest cities; London, Birmingham, and Manchester, the artwork will be beamed across the UK in a guerrilla projection domination campaign. The innovative media strategy and planning approach devised by Havas Media UK ensures O2\u2019s exclusive partnership is prominent in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">high footfall locations per city to maximise audience exposure in key evening entertainment hubs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the first time ever, O2 also enters the NFT (non-fungible tokens) space, as the bespoke, decodable, virtual art also doubles as an NFT, which will be made available to the first people who are successful at cracking hidden codes in the artwork. The unique Phone (1) NFT will be viewable on Nothing\u2019s NFT gallery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new Phone (1) is on a mission to bring joy back to smartphones and refine the Android experience. The new phone has a sleek design, and transparent phone case to reveal the inner workings of the phone and its eye-catching glyph system. Powerfully fast, reliable and built with responsibly sourced materials, the Phone (1) is the perfect partner to demonstrate that O2 is committed to giving its customers only the best service and a first-class product experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-video-Z1SBgVF wp-block-lazyblock-video\"><section class=\"fullwidth\">\r\n  <div class=\"container\">\r\n    <div class=\"embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9 \" data-component=\"video\">\r\n      <iframe data-src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/746465303?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0&amp;color=6cbef1&amp;playsinline=0\" class=\"lazyload\" allowfullscreen title=\"\"><\/iframe>          <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"lazyblock-text-full-width-ZNsgmW wp-block-lazyblock-text-full-width\"><section class=\"fullwidth text-center\" data-aos=\"fade-up\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    \n    \n    <p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As part of the media strategy and approach devised by Havas UK to be prominent in gaming spaces, the innovative campaign will also feature in DOOH and across social channels including Instagram, TikTok, Reddit and across YouTube, Twitch, and games such as, Paladins, SMITE and Rogue Company. The creative asset has been designed like the distinctive Nothing (1) Glyph which will flash like a 3,2,1 countdown. The artwork will take the shape of the design and then begin its animated loop. Activating in Roblox too, O2 has created a unique network of 150+ games, where in-game DOOH billboards will push the partnership through a targeted in-game environment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><b>Simon Valcarel, Marketing Director, Virgin Media O2 <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">said:<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u201cAt O2 we\u2019re passionate about delivering only the most exciting and innovative offerings, and our purpose is to \u2018reimagine connectivity.\u2019 We\u2019re incredibly proud to be able to share this disruptive new campaign with our tech-obsessed O2 customers, by focusing on what connectivity enables and what it means to people. We\u2019ve created unique code-infused digital artwork, that\u2019s doubling up as an NFT, and projected it across the UK\u2019s biggest cities in an attention grabbing, creative campaign that\u2019s been purposefully built to catch the eye, steal the nation\u2019s curiosity and drive intrigue through longer dwelling disruptive media channels.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><b>Jonny Parker and Chris Birch, Executive Creative Directors at VCCP London <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">said: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSmartphones are everywhere. They are omnipresent in our lives but have become so common that they\u2019re mostly just overlooked by all of us. Our new campaign with Nothing rips up this concept, and instead highlights how O2 is constantly pushing boundaries in order to deliver only the best for its customers. This work was the epitome of us being a challenger agency for challenger brands. This is not your typical trading DR campaign but something totally unique that has never been done before at O2 (In game adverts and NFTs). Catch the art if you can, and try to crack the code!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The integrated campaign from O2 is live from today for two weeks, and O2 worked with UK agency of record, <\/span><b>VCCP London,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> content studio <\/span><b>Girl&amp;Bear,<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and VCCP\u2019s newly launched Product and Service innovation company,<\/span><b> Bernadette,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to mastermind the new campaign.

We unearthed the story of the first Women\u2019s EURO Championships in 1984 and England\u2019s captain, Carol Thomas, and were astounded that so little was known about it. We knew straight away this was the story we had to tell, it was the perfect demonstration of a relatable role model that needed to become more visible. Carol was really excited to get involved and totally up for the challenge of the 30-mile walk. This inspired everyone else to get involved in the walk and the campaign, from our other famous role models to UEFA and the full production team.\u201d\\u003c\/span\\u003e\\u003c\/i\\u003e\\u003c\/p\\u003e\\n\\u003cp\\u003e\\u003cspan style=\\u0022font-weight: 400\\u0022\\u003eCreated in partnership with creative a\\u003c\/span\\u003e\\u003cspan style=\\u0022font-weight: 400\\u0022\\u003egency of record\\u003c\/span\\u003e \\u003ca href=\\u0022https:\/\/www.vccp.com\/\\u0022\\u003e\\u003cspan style=\\u0022font-weight: 400\\u0022\\u003eVCCP London\\u003c\/span\\u003e\\u003c\/a\\u003e\\u003cspan style=\\u0022font-weight: 400\\u0022\\u003e and PR agency \\u003c\/span\\u003e\\u003ca href=\\u0022https:\/\/brands2life.com\/\\u0022\\u003e\\u003cspan style=\\u0022font-weight: 400\\u0022\\u003eBrands2Life\\u003c\/span\\u003e\\u003c\/a\\u003e\\u003cspan style=\\u0022font-weight: 400\\u0022\\u003e, the fully integrated campai\\u003c\/span\\u003e\\u003cspan style=\\u0022font-weight: 400\\u0022\\u003egn was produced by \\u003c\/span\\u003e\\u003ca href=\\u0022https:\/\/www.wearegirlandbear.com\/\\u0022\\u003e\\u003cspan style=\\u0022font-weight: 400\\u0022\\u003eGirl\\u0026amp;Bear\\u003c\/span\\u003e\\u003c\/a\\u003e\\u003cspan style=\\u0022font-weight: 400\\u0022\\u003e and w\\u003c\/span\\u003e\\u003cspan style=\\u0022font-weight: 400\\u0022\\u003eill be supported with earned and paid media across OOH and digital channels, including LinkedIn, and a paid media partnership with Telegraph Women\u2019s Sport.
