As part of the Stronger Starts campaign supporting local projects focused on food security, children and young people, Tesco is tapping into the power of AI to deliver hyper-personalized video messages to customers. As part of this initiative, celebrities act as spokespeople for community projects, including Olympic gold medalist and former heptathlete Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill.
This AI scheme brings awareness to Tesco's in-store blue token method, which lets shoppers vote for a chosen local charity or community group.
In the videos, the avatar of Jessica Ennis-Hill mentions customers by name and explains why their vote is going to a good cause. These shareable videos are ready to be circulated on social media to amplify the impact of the project.
