Project:
Okta 'It's Possible'
Scholar reimagined the dull corporate tech ad in this creative campaign by breaking the fourth wall with Jenny, a quirky and relatable Okta advocate. Designed to convey Okta’s value in an entertaining and approachable way, Jenny’s humorous exchanges with the voiceover transform technical jargon into simple explanations, highlighting how Okta empowers people to access technology securely and with ease.
We concepted, wrote, and directed this campaign with the incredible team at Okta, bringing it to life with humor, dynamic camera moves, and seamless transitions in order to showcase the wide-reaching impact of Okta’s capabilities.
