Description
In September 2024, Apple announced a groundbreaking innovation: AirPods Pro can now function as hearing aids for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss. The brief was to create a holiday campaign for Apple that not only introduced this innovation to the U.S. and the world but also demonstrated why it matters. The campaign highlights the stakes of hearing loss through an emotional story, allowing the audience to hear—and feel—its impact over the course of 10 years.
