Synopsis:
People love their TVs, tablets, gaming consoles, and smart tech, but they don’t think much about what connects them, or how that connection impacts their experience. The new “Good Neighbor” FIOS spot starring Gaten Matarazzo -- best known for his role as Dustin Henderson in the hit Netflix® drama, Stranger Things -- leverages the savviness of today’s kids when it comes to technology, in order to communicate the practical impact of our fiber advantage. FIOS is the 100% fiber optic network, our key point of differentiation in a highly-competitive marketplace.
Gaten is part of a generation that has grown up with fiber-optics and smart devices. They are native to him so he has the credibility and confidence to explain it in a simple way: To get the most of your devices and everything you use them for, you want a 100% fiber-optic network.
The campaign began last night Sunday, 9/17 during the Emmys and will continue to run across TV, OLV, Radio, OOH, Digital, Social and Direct Mail.
