'Snapdragon. That's How' Campaign: Key Findings
- The campaign includes four films showing how different users handle stressful scenarios using Snapdragon-powered PCs.
- The films run on broadcast TV, connected TV, TikTok, and Instagram, wherever people already watch short videos.
- The production was shot on a Snapdragon-powered Samsung S25 Ultra, turning the execution into a product demonstration from the start.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon is expanding further in the PC category with "Snapdragon. That's How."
From creative agency 72andSunny, the work focuses on real-world scenarios to show how Snapdragon-powered devices can handle multitasking, mobility, and AI workflows.
The featured spots position the brand as the processor that keeps up with modern work and life demands as AI becomes more embedded in computing.
"We believe the future of computing will be more human and grounded in the real world," said Evan Spiegel, co-founder and CEO at Snap Inc., in a press release.
The brand positioning follows the company's push to stand out in a crowded, highly competitive market by proving performance where it actually matters.
Real-Life Scenarios Replace Spec Sheets
The campaign runs across four films, each built around a familiar, high-pressure situation.
- A student navigates apacked orientation week.
- Two designers grow a viral eyewear brand.
- A scout leader edits content on a remote hike.
- A maid of honor rebuilds a canceled trip using AI tools.
Each execution highlights features such as multitasking, long battery life, and on-device AI without interruption.
The spots will run across broadcast, connected TV, and social platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
The promotional strategy brings the product directly to where audiences consume short-form, scenario-driven content.
All the films were shot on a Snapdragon-powered Samsung S25 Ultra and edited on Snapdragon devices.
It’s a move that turns the campaign into a product demonstration at every stage. The result keeps the focus on outcomes instead of features.
AI Timing Meets Brand Momentum
The campaign continues Snapdragon's move away from spec-led messaging toward experience-driven storytelling.
It arrives just as AI-powered PCs gain traction among creators and professionals who rely on speed and efficiency.
Along with a top-40 position in Kantar’s BrandZ ranking, the chip-maker is growing brand equity.
Now competing with legacy PC players, the company is on an upward trajectory in market growth.
Qualcomm's market was valued at almost $200 billion in 2025, and it already looks set to surpass this benchmark in 2026.
This, paired with the campaign, demonstrates how real scenarios can replace technical messaging in brand product storytelling.
- Familiar situations lower cognitive friction. Marketers should use relatable use cases to make complex technology easier to understand.
- Execution authenticity strengthens credibility. Brands should integrate product usage into campaigns to boost performance claims through visible proof.
- Platform integration shapes engagement. Campaigns should be distributed across social and CTV environments to meet audiences anywhere.
This way, highly complex product brands reduce reliance on specifications and increase clarity in value perception.
Our Take: Can Real Storytelling Make AI Chips Feel Human?
We think the campaign avoids technical overload and shows exactly when performance matters.
Users are challenged with daily pressures and demands, and Snapdragon provides a device that can comfortably keep up.
The risk the brand faces is subtlety. Without explicit feature callouts, some audiences may miss the technical differentiation, especially in a competitive PC market.
When marketing complex technology, success is built through product demonstration.
In other news, Adobe recently closed a $1.9B Semrush deal to achieve AI search visibility.
