Facebook – Privacy Enhancing Technology (PET) Campaign
Facebook is in the midst of one of its most complex business solves ever—enhancing privacy for its users while still gleaning insights for its advertisers. The solutions they’ve developed are so complex that the Facebook team asked us to help translate them into clear, compelling explainers so users can feel confident about their personal information.
We worked closely with Facebook’s technical experts so we could understand these Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PET). (Honestly, even our clients at Facebook were struggling to grasp these technologies. We were all learning it together!) Then we simplified and streamlined the information, making sure not to lose any important nuances.
By humanizing the technologies and creating characters that illustrate how they work, we turned Facebook’s complicated engineering into a compelling story. This animation series is now helping to build trust with both users and advertisers.
