The brief

extraordinaryspeedcreatesearchcommunicateexperiencethe world

Google’s AI ecosystem is evolving at extraordinary speed, transforming how people create, search, communicate and experience the world.

Our ambition was to bring these innovations to life, making Google AI tangible, accessible and relevant to everyday life, while showcasing the breadth of the Android partner ecosystem.

The challenge

stepoutsidea sea of competing experiencespartners across the showout in the open air

In a sea of competing experiences, Android Avenue needed to stand out, making the scale of Google’s AI ecosystem engaging rather than overwhelming.

We needed to turn complex technology into intuitive, hands-on experiences, encourage exploration and extend the story beyond the avenue to Android partners across the show.

The delivery

We created a vibrant home for Google AI, combining hands-on demonstrations with Android’s unmistakable personality.

Visitors used Nano Banana to reimagine themselves in any scenario, from appearing on the cover of an ’80s magazine to exploring entirely new worlds, then brought their ideas to life with Veo through immersive video with sound.

XR headsets and glasses let them virtually explore cities and discover music inspired by their surroundings, while Circle to Search made it possible to find and virtually try on clothes. The latest Gemini features on Pixel demonstrated how AI could make everyday interactions more intuitive.

130 miniature Android bots, themed around different products and experiences, created moments of discovery throughout the avenue.

Three two-metre Android bots provided larger-than-life landmarks, including a McLaren-inspired installation and an XR bot showcasing Google’s latest glasses.

Elsewhere, a giveaway bike delivered doughnuts around the stand where attendees rushed to get their hands on one, and an Android slot machine rewarded lucky visitors with branded totes, hats and exclusive stickers.

Android Avenue transformed the idea of seeing the future first into an experience visitors could explore and enjoy.

Android Avenue showed how innovation becomes more engaging when people can experience it for themselves.

Because when the future moves this fast, showing people what’s possible is only the beginning. The real opportunity is to make them feel part of it.
