UNO R4
Product Launch
︎︎︎ Marketing Campaign
In 2023, Arduino embarked on an ambitious task: revamping the UNO board, one of our most iconic and widely recognized products. This significant product relaunch necessitated an extensive campaign aimed at engaging our customers, offering suggestions, and inspiring them to explore new and exciting projects with the updated board.
As we approached the launch of the UNO R4, it was imperative to create enduring content that offered lasting guidance and external validation of the board's capabilities in achieving remarkable results. Collaborating with Anna Viganò, we took on the challenge of developing a multifaceted campaign designed to captivate our customers' attention. This campaign revolved around showcasing the technical features of the board, presenting external testimonials, and providing inspirational content to spark creativity.

Key Features and Deliverables
To ensure a successful campaign, Anna Viganò and I centered our efforts around the concept of "expanding your universe of possibilities" with this board, inspired by a space theme that guided the entire campaign development. This resulted in a comprehensive, multi-channel campaign aimed at targeting six distinct personas identified through detailed
analysis. The deliverables included various assets for social media and advertising campaigns, as well as video interviews featuring influencers in the electronics and technology fields, which were incorporated into a dense editorial calendar lasting a year. Notably, we produced a captivating video commercial combining testimonials with 3D video assets, serving as the focal point of the entire campaign.
