AI Studio

Generative AI campaign experiences, shipped for two vivo smartphone launches

JavaScriptOpenAI Image APICloudflare PagesPython (Pillow, NumPy, rembg)

The challenge

Create personalised smartphone launch campaign imagery from a visitor's selfie, placing them inside the official key visual in the campaign outfit and holding the phone, while keeping the brand logo, product and headline lettering pixel-exact.

The approach

A custom Python masking pipeline that separates person, protected-logo, product and hand masks and rebuilds occluded campaign lettering, paired with gender-aware prompt engineering and a serverless Cloudflare Pages stream.

Inspect pipeline layer
[01. MASK PIPELINE] A Python script turns the designer's master key visual into person, protected-logo, product and hand masks, and reconstructs hidden parts of the campaign lettering so generated hair falls naturally in front of it.

Work / Social Media Analytics Sample outputs · fictional data

Social Media Analytics

Every vivo launch campaign tracked in one place, with each creator's performance across TikTok, Instagram & YouTube

See the campaign dashboards
Campaign trackingCreator (KOL) analyticsTikTok · Instagram · YouTubeLaunch reporting

The challenge

vivo Middle East runs creator (KOL) campaigns for every smartphone launch across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. Results sat on separate platforms, so there was no single view of how a campaign and each of its creators performed, or how one launch compared with the next.

The approach

A campaign analytics view for every launch: each creator's results side by side, audience reactions, and clear comparisons with earlier launches and competitors, so the team can see what worked and plan the next campaign.

Real campaign reports are confidential. The samples here use fictional creators, numbers and comments, and leave out costs.

Campaign Sentiment Analysis

A second web app that reads the comments on a campaign's creator posts and turns them into sentiment and themes

PythonNLPTheme codingStatistical testing

The challenge

Reach and engagement show how far a campaign travelled, not what audiences thought of the phone. The answers sit in the comments under each creator's post, far too many to read by hand for every launch.

The approach

A web app that classifies every comment as positive, neutral or negative, codes it into themes such as camera, design, battery and price, and compares those themes across platforms and markets with statistical testing.

Real campaign reports are confidential. The samples here use fictional creators, numbers and comments, and leave out costs.

[01. COMMENT CAPTURE] Comments on each creator's campaign posts are brought together for the campaign, so every reaction is linked to its creator and platform.

Research / Consumer studies

Listening before every launch.

Customer surveys and in-depth consumer research I've run for vivo and iQOO smartphones across the UAE and KSA, from early surveys to upgraded follow-up studies.
