SUMMARY
To drive IBMs credentials in Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud we reinvented Sports Sponsorship TV advertising. We dedicated the entirety of our Masters Tournament Inventory to an unprecedented stream of almost 70 unique commercials showing the value being Made with IBM: a 35 Minute Documentary, Interrupted by Golf. By solving the ad nauseam of endlessly repetitious commercials, we dominated Masters buzz (3x the mentions of the other sponsors combined). We transformed perceptions, and drove a $3.5BN increase in category revenue.
