Udemy AI Brain

Commercial Campaign

Udemy needed a brand campaign that could travel, landing in UK offices and Brazilian workplaces without losing its edge. We developed the concept, built a custom pink prosthetic brain from scratch, and produced 30-second spots in both English and Portuguese. The work resonated enough to earn a project extension, where Brian, the spot’s lead actor, landed onstage with Udemy’s CMO at an international company conference.

The Path to Performance, with a sense of humor

Udemy’s 2025 global theme called for a full-funnel campaign across the UK and Brazil, reaching both consumer and B2B audiences. After years of earnest, anthem-style brand work, the brief was a welcome change of direction: something funny. Warm and self-aware, like the coworker who always makes the all-hands bearable.
