Carlo Ratti Associati

Scribit Originals

LOCATION: Global Digital Campaign

Year: 2019-2020

CLIENT: Scribit

In 2019 I moved to Turin to join the team at Scribit, a robotics startup founded by MIT Professor and visionary Architect, Carlo Ratti. Scribit is an intelligent writing robot that can draw on any vertical surface turning your wall into an interactive canvas for art or information

I was the Strategic Partnership Manager and worked directly with Prof. Ratti to execute his vision for marketing Scribit through the Scribit Originals - a special project to create a collection of sought-after art pieces made in collaboration with world famous contributors that would attract media attention and new customers to purchase the Scribit robot.

The original signed editions from this collection of artworks, which would be reproducible by any Scribit robot, were to be showcased at the Salone del Mobile Design Fair in 2020.

Scribit Originals #7 El Seed's Love is the Miracle of Civilization
The drawing blends the historic tradition of Arabic calligraphy with a contemporary graffiti sensibility and communicates French writer Stendhal’s famous quote: “L'amour est le miracle de la civilization”.

Scribit Originals #13 Museo Egizio
The collaboration with The Museo Egizio in Turin explores a possible use of robotics in the post-pandemic museum experience while highlighting one of the world’s most important collections of Ancient Egyptian art and culture outside Egypt.

Scribit Originals #8 The Conscious Robot
The circular economy explained by Scribit & The Ellen MacArthur Foundation

As the Coronavirus epidemic has been forcing people to stay at home looking for creative pastimes, Scribit teamed up with world-renowned puzzle author Dr. Gareth Moore, to draw a robotic maze on your wall. The collaboration aims to bring creative pastimes to fight the lockdown boredom.

Scribit Originals #10 Cave of Forgotten Dreams
At a moment when home is the safest place, Scribit takes inspiration from our ancestors to bring the masterpieces of Chauvet’s 32,000-year-old paintings to your wall to bring you the excitement of exploration and the magic of rock art.

Within Scribit's startup environment, I was able to leverage my personal talents and ability to learn quickly to meet ambitious goals with limited to no budget. My responsibilities as Strategic Partnerships Manager had me crossing disciplines and performing the roles of Marketing Executive, Creative Director, Copywriter, Content Creator, Press Officer, Event Manager and even Host.

My key responsibility was to developed a pipeline of collaborations with high value partners with strong visibility within their respective fields (i.e. Bill Gates, etc.). This process extended from the initial research through to crafting invitations to maximize chances of success, establishing and managing external relationships with collaborators and their teams and producing promotional multimedia content to distribute to a list of press contacts in order to attract media coverage for each Scribit Original project - seeking to maximize the advertising cost equivalent of our "guerrilla" campaigns.
