The new commercial playfully challenges nonsense tech applications and continues the Stuck.in Consultancy Saga of “I AI” and “1000 Slides” -also produced by GUT- to show a different way of transforming businesses

NEW YORK – March 21, 2024 — Globant (NYSE: GLOB), a digitally native company focused on reinventing businesses through innovative technology solutions, today launched its new commercial ‘Taste ID.’ The film is the latest installment in Globant’s “Stuck in Consultancy” saga, created by the award-winning global agency GUT, which was recently incorporated into the Globant family. 

In the new commercial, Globant tackles a common notion head-on: The perception that IT organizations often forget about real users and businesses when thinking about developments for their customers. With an ironic and humorous twist, the film depicts a tech company presenting its latest innovation: ‘Taste ID,’ a technology that makes the dubious claim of being able to identify what a person wants to eat based on them licking their cell phone screen. As the presenters demo this unappetizing tech offering to a group of incredulous executives, the film declares, “Enough with nonsense tech,” while delivering a strong brand statement about the need to apply technology to real business transformations. 

Globant, with over 20 years of expertise, is a pioneer in crafting bold digital solutions that seamlessly blend technology with delightful user experiences. While many brands may have worked with numerous IT partners over the years, what sets Globant apart from its competitors is its unwavering commitment to placing the final consumers of its clients at the forefront. Their digital solutions are tailored to meet clients' needs and help them reinvent their businesses in ways that resonate with their target audience.

“As part of the 'Stuck in Consultancy' saga, this new commercial emphasizes Globant's ongoing dedication to challenging traditional norms, making us the ideal partner that dares to create digital solutions for our clients,” said Wanda Weigert, Chief Brand Officer at Globant. “Brands tend to work with a lot of IT partners over the years, and even simultaneously. We consider Globant the only B2B2C digital solutions partner that differentiates from other legacy IT organizations by blending technology, creativity, and intuition to build delightful experiences.” 

Matías Lafalla, Chief Creative Officer at GUT, emphasized, “This campaign addresses one of the most critical topics in the tech industry: placing the consumer or user at the center while crafting digital solutions. Globant stands out among other tech companies by creating digital products users really love. To tell this narrative, we opted to maintain the humorous and ironic tone that has already become a signature of this saga.”

Globant is a digitally native company focused on creating innovative technology solutions that dare to delight clients and potential clients. Alongside GUT, both organizations are ranked among the top ten in their respective industries globally: Globant is the fastest-growing IT brand and the 5th strongest IT brand globally according to the latest Brand Finance Report, and GUT is the most creative independent advertising network in the world according to Cannes 2023 Report.

Sportian Advisory Board will be led by NBA All Star Manu Ginóbili and Australian ex-rugby captain George Gregan, with a focus on how sport can improve fan engagement and athlete performance through technology, supporting the reinvention of the industry

[13th FEBRUARY, MADRID] - Sportian, the Sports & Entertainment Company from Globant, has announced the creation of the Sportian Advisory Board, a squad of legends and experts that will guide sports organizations through the benefits and applications of technology to support the continued growth and evolution of the industry.

The new Board will feature global sports icons Manu Ginóbili, the NBA All-Star, and George Gregan, Australian rugby captain and World Cup winner. As professional athletes and sports fans, they will introduce their vision of how team performance, athlete health, and the fan experience can be enhanced through technology. 

Manu Ginóbili is an NBA Hall-of-Famer, two-time All-Star and four-time league champion with the Spurs, and widely regarded as the greatest Latin American basketball player of all time. He currently works as a Special Advisor to Basketball Operations for the San Antonio Spurs and is a keen investor in new technologies.

“Advances in technology are revolutionizing the world of sports,  enabling athletes to achieve unprecedented levels of performance while enhancing fan engagement. Being passionate about both sports and technology, I’ve chosen to become a member of the Sportian Advisory Board to play a role in further enriching the industry’s excitement and appeal while at the same time continue my education on this transformation,” said Manu Ginóbili.

Over a 13-year professional career, George Gregan became captain of Australia’s international rugby team and the country’s record appearance maker, lifting the Webb Ellis Cup in 1999. He is now a successful entrepreneur and sports technology ambassador. 

George Gregan pointed out the potential for the advisory board to impact any sport: “Going digital starts with having a solid understanding of your fans, your teams and your playing space. The Sportian Advisory Board will be the resource for any competition to lay its challenges on the table and draw up a smart growth plan. I’m excited to form part of a team that wants to preserve sport as the number one entertainment source for future generations.”

For his part, Sportian CEO Alejandro Scannapieco said: “We are proud to work alongside Manu and George, two inspiring leaders who rose to the top of global sport and have a vision for the industry’s growth. Their experience will provide Sportian a unique angle to continue evolving our products & solutions for Sports & Entertainment organizations. I'm positive that their presence on the Sportian Advisory Board will help more organizations build an exciting future for sport and entertainment, powered by innovative technology.”

Martin Migoya, CEO and Co-founder of Globant, added: “Having a Board of Advisors led by sports legends is the perfect complement for Sportian's disruptive technology approach to such global passions as football, rugby, basketball, and many other sports. We can't wait to learn from Manu Ginóbili and George Gregan’s experiences and knowledge, and we will turn this into valuable and applicable insight for each of our clients.”

Through exclusive events and assessments, the Board will give sports organizations a chance to learn and discuss how new technology strategies impact commercial objectives. Recent developments by Sportian for its clients include superapps to connect fans with new experiences, growing direct-to-consumer strategies through streaming, collecting and applying match data to content, building smart venues and integrating AI tools to enhance competition management, broadcasting, and content creation, among others.
