Origin’s new brand platform via Special turns ‘usual’ into ‘useful’ at the flip of a switch
Origin has launched its latest brand platform ‘All Kinds of Useful’ created in collaboration with Special.
The campaign includes a new TVC, directed by Michael Hili through FINCH, which brings the concept to life with a ‘Useful’ switch—visually demonstrating how Origin transforms everyday frustrations into smart solutions.
From a confusing parking sign becoming instantly clear to a solar-powered dog kennel, the creative execution playfully showcases the brand’s shift from the usual to useful.
The campaign spans TV, BVOD, social, OOH, and digital.
