Google Fiber



This was one of enso's first big projects.

Google Fiber is an attempt to radically shift the service, cost and quality of internet bandwidth US citizens experience. When Google Fiber started, the US ranked ~34th by average speed experienced; today it ranks ~10th

Rather than traditional marketing about product features, we focused on the idea that Fiber was an opportunity for each city to progress — it could be a civic cause. While the creative executions evolved to suit each city where it launched, the core strategy persisted of a people-first empowerment tool, rather than just technology features.

Laterly, we built the brand around the core idea,
Faster, fairer, kinder Internet.
