Epson shows EpiqVision Mini projectors are ‘Designed for Every Moment'
To launch its EpiqVision Mini smart laser projectors, Epson has collaborated with JWI for a creative campaign that aims to redefine how projectors can add meaning to people's lives. Challenging the stereotype that projectors are often thought of as functional devices for boardrooms or home cinemas, the brand saw an opportunity to reposition the projector as a lifestyle enabler. The campaign, rolling out across the Middle East, Türkiye, Africa, and Central & West Asia, is built on a simple but powerful insight: people don't connect over pixels – they connect over moments. 'In this part of the world, shared experiences are the heartbeat of everyday life,' said Natalie Harrison, Marketing Director at Epson META-CWA. 'We knew that to create true emotional relevance, we had to show how our technology fits into the fabric of family, friendship and togetherness. That meant stepping away from the functional and leaning fully into the emotional.' Designed for Every Moment centres on four unique, story-led films that aim to reflect different audience mindsets. Instead of product demos or spec-led messaging, the projector is subtly woven into real-life scenarios, always as the enabler of something more meaningful. The campaign showcases this in various scenarios from spontaneous couple time to family movie traditions. 'Too often, tech brands focus on what their products do, rather than what they create,' said Ben Thomas, Creative Director at JWI. 'For us, it wasn't about the lumen count or screen size. It was about the feeling. What does this product unlock? What does it allow you to experience? That's where the storytelling began.' To align with Epson's reputation for forward-thinking technology, the team turned to AI to bring the campaign to life. The creative team said it used AI-generated visuals to develop the films, delivering high-quality content quickly and cost-effectively. JWI further claims it accomplished this without sacrificing craft or emotional depth. 'As a brand that leads with innovation, using AI to tell this story felt completely right for Epson,' Harrison added. 'It wasn't a gimmick, it was a smart, strategic decision that allowed us to be creatively ambitious and commercially agile.' Thomas echoed this sentiment: 'We're always exploring new tools to push our ideas further. In this case, AI gave us the flexibility to tell multiple stories for the diverse META-CWA region without certain creative constraints.' The campaign aims to bring a new approach to lifestyle tech marketing, moving away from product demos or spec-led messaging and leaning into what people actually value: spending time together, making memories and enjoying everyday moments. By shifting the focus from functionality to feeling, Epson claims the campaign makes the EpiqVision Mini more appealing and creates a deeper emotional connection with customers. 'It's not just about projectors,' said Harrison. 'It's about bringing people together and reminding people of what really matters.' Credits: Client: Epson META-CWA Creative & Production Agency: JWI

Shakira says being an immigrant in US ‘means living in fear'
Grammy-winning Colombia star Shakira has talked about the dire socio-political instability facing immigrants in the US. In a new interview with BBC, the Colombia-hailing pop star alluded to president Donald Trump's attitude toward immigrants, which were among the key tenets of his administration that protested nationwide yesterday as thousands marched in cities from Los Angeles to Austin in the "No Kings' rallies, reports Asked how it feels to be an immigrant living in America today, the four-time Grammy winner responded, "It means living in constant fear, and it's painful to see.' She continued, "Now, more than ever, we have to remain united. Now, more than ever, we have to raise our voices and make it very clear that a country can change its immigration policies, but the treatment of all people must always be humane.' Elsewhere in the interview, speaking to her own immigration experience to the US at the age of 19, she said she was "like many other Colombian immigrants who come to this country looking for a better future.' In February, as she took the Grammys stage to accept her award in Best Latin Pop Album for Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, the "TQG' singer took the opportunity to express solidarity with the immigrant community. She said: "I want to dedicate this award to all my immigrant brothers and sisters in this country. You are loved. You are worth it, and I will always fight with you.' Shakira is referred to as the "Queen of Latin Music", she has had a significant impact on the musical landscape of Latin America and has been credited with popularising Hispanophone music on a global level. She is the recipient of various honours, she has won four Grammy Awards and fifteen Latin Grammy Awards, including three Song of the Year wins. Indo-Asian News Service
