The Problem

When Big Tech rolls out their latest gadget, it’s always the same story: trendy cast, epic slow-motion shots of the device, and, of course, dancing. So much dancing. But behind the glossy ads? Mountains of e-waste, sky-high prices, and minimal innovation.

The Solve

Back Market is the real innovator, refurbishing devices to save money and the planet. We helped them crack a bold new brand platform and launched their first-ever global campaign with SNL director Mike Diva, calling out Big Tech’s smoke and mirrors to change how people think about “new” tech.
