This WeMo commercial was designed and created by ad agency CP + B. The home automation tech brand shows how a totally wired home can bring people together. In the tech advertising, Rachel comes home to find a myriad of web-connected devices her husband Dan set up to commemorate their first wedding anniversary. The Rube Goldberg assembly includes a romantic voice over, crock pot-prepared dinner, romantic lighting and accompanying video clips. This technology-enabled gift brings the couple together, even though Dan can't be there to celebrate in person.
