HTC has been slowly expanding its brand awareness beyond techies into the mass market mindshare. This recent spot is a great move in that effort. They’ve injected just the right amount of hipness as to not alienate the non-hip while making all the other players (except for Apple) look ordinary. It’s a spot that’s easy to connect to.
Their tagline “Quietly Brilliant” speaks to how they’ve been an understated innovator. I suspect that that will change as they gain ground in the marketplace.
You don’t need to get a phone. You need a phone that gets you.
Love it.
