The brief

Brazil has 513 federal deputies and, in 2018, 23 million young voters who had mostly given up on politics. MTV wanted them to vote knowing who they were voting for.

The idea

IBM Watson read four years of the deputies' interviews, press coverage and plenary sessions and returned one personality: the average Brazilian politician, with a chat box under him. Ask him about guns and he will tell you.

The result

He was taken to the young voters complaining about politics on social media instead of waiting for them. More than 150,000 questions were asked, with 4 minutes 32 seconds spent per visit. Bronze at El Ojo 2018.
