Overview | Full Story

Our campaign made Applied Materials famous for the role it plays in making the Information Age accessible and affordable to everyone. 

  • In spite of being heavily outspent in the media, recognition and interest in the ads outstripped those from tech bellwethers Intel, IBM, and Cisco.

  • The Nasdaq amplified our message by celebrating AMAT as a visionary technology leader in their global brand advertising campaign. 

  • Today, even during volatile times, when ownership of other tech stocks decreases significantly, AMAT holds its ground or moves forward.
