TLDR: 8×8, Inc. has launched ‘The Power of You,’ a groundbreaking global brand campaign that prioritizes real customer experiences over product features. Utilizing generative AI for cinematic production, the campaign showcases the ingenuity and impact of IT leaders, CX professionals, and contact center managers, positioning them as the true heroes of modern business. This initiative aims to humanize enterprise marketing by celebrating the tangible achievements of 8×8’s users.
CAMPBELL, Calif. – 8×8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT), a leading provider of integrated business communications and customer experience solutions, has announced the launch of its innovative global brand campaign, ‘The Power of You.’ This campaign marks a significant shift in enterprise marketing by placing real customers at its core, moving away from traditional product-centric messaging.
The ‘Power of You’ campaign leverages cinematic visuals and generative AI production to transform the everyday challenges faced by customers into compelling, heroic narratives. Instead of highlighting technology features, 8×8 aims to spotlight the grit, ingenuity, and impact of its users, including IT leaders, CX professionals, and contact center managers.
Bruno Bertini, Chief Marketing Officer at 8×8, Inc., emphasized the campaign’s unique approach, stating, “This isn’t a marketing campaign in the traditional sense – it’s one-to-one storytelling at enterprise scale, but with a soul. We’re using AI to do something radically human: make our customers the protagonists of their own stories, not props in ours.” Bertini added that the campaign celebrates customers who navigate complexity, connect teams, and lead through uncertainty, asserting, “While the industry races to showcase AI features, we’re showcasing what our customers achieve with 8×8.”
Industry analyst Sheila McGee-Smith, founder and principal analyst at McGee-Smith Analytics, lauded 8×8’s strategy: “In an industry racing to ‘out-AI’ each other, 8×8 is taking a distinctly human approach, using cutting-edge AI not to showcase itself, but to spotlight its customers. The Power of You campaign is unlike anything I’ve seen; it blends generative AI and storytelling to elevate real users as heroes. This is customer-centricity in action, not just as a talking point but as a brand-defining practice.”
The campaign highlights how 8×8’s integrated platform for Customer Experience (CX), which incorporates AI at every level, empowers customers. For instance, LSH Auto, one of the UK’s largest automotive dealer groups, successfully improved service and employee focus by integrating their systems with 8×8, turning obstacles into opportunities for confident leadership.
