Canon Europe has launched an integrated multi-market campaign for its PIXMA printer range, celebrating the chaotic nature of modern day life where work and personal lives continue to blur together.
Created in partnership with EMEA creative agency of record, VCCP, the campaign centres around the versatility of PIXMA printers and its ability to seamlessly tackle everything from work admin to life admin to the ‘last-minute school project’ admin, showcasing that it is a printer designed for The Stuff of Life. The increasing importance that the ‘home office space’ plays in the modern home has led Canon to create this integrated campaign which will roll out across EMEA.
A hero 30” AV is a whirlwind of words, graphics and images mirroring the printing process and dramatising the wonderful chaos of everyday life. The unrelenting list of tasks and challenges which the PIXMA calmly undertakes is captured and reflected; depicting real things like life admin, work admin, admin admin, maps to campsites, kids’ artwork, lost and found flyers, moodboards for wedding dresses, and the important financial forecasts for work – the stuff of life.
