Globant and GUT launch commercial that mocks ‘ meaningless ’ technology services

Globant has launched a new commercial titled Taste ID .

The video is the latest instalment in Globant ’ s Stuck in Consultancy saga , a campaign created by award-winning global agency GUT – which was recently incorporated by Globant .
In the new commercial , Globant tackles a common notion head-on : the perception that IT organizations often forget about users and the real business when thinking about development for their customers .
With a tongue-in-cheek and humorous twist , the video depicts a tech company showcasing its latest innovation Taste ID – a feature that makes the dubious claim of being able to identify what a person wants to eat based on licking their mobile screen .
As the presenters demonstrate this unappetizing offer to a group of incredulous executives , the film declares ‘ no more mindless technology ’ while delivering a strong brand statement about the need to apply them to real business transformations .
“ As part of the ‘ Stuck in Consultancy ’ saga , this new commercial emphasizes Globant ’ s continued commitment to challenging traditional norms , making us the ideal partner who dares to create digital solutions for our clients ,” said Wanda Weigert , Chief Brand Officer , Globant .
Matías Lafalla , Chief Creative Officer , GUT , said : “ This campaign addresses one of the most critical topics in the technology industry : putting the consumer or user at the center when creating digital solutions .
“ To tell this narrative , we chose to maintain the humorous and ironic tone that has already become a signature of this saga .”
