The campaign invites the children of GE China employees working across different divisions including energy, transportation, healthcare and aviation to speak their minds.
As part of a bigger series that will launch progressively, this campaign ties in with the global message of ‘GE imagination at work’.
One of the biggest challenges for GE is to overcome the general perception as an industrial products provider. Creative agency BBDO Shanghai puts children at the heart of the campaign, asking them to present a drawing of what their fathers do at GE.
The new campaign is to lead the theme of ‘innovation today for the world’s tomorrow’.
The creative team at BBDO suggested the project brings out GE's ‘true charm’. The branding campaign is simple and direct, without flowery images or complicated explanations.
In January, GE also powered an online augmented reality campaign to illustrate their dedication to energy conservation in China.
