Workday, Inc., the AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, is bringing AI agents center stage in its latest "Rock Star" campaign featuring superstar Gwen Stefani, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Paul Stanley and punk rock legend Billy Idol.
The rockers, dressed in business attire, hilariously try to navigate the corporate world - refusing to believe that Workday's AI agents are making people "rock stars." The two new TV commercials, titled "Carmen the Rock Star" and "Goodnight Rock Stars," are debuting at The Masters during April 7-13.
The commercials playfully contrast the worlds of rock 'n' roll and business with Stefani, Idol, and Stanley trading their leather studs for power suits and attending countless meetings, engaging in small talk with colleagues in the office, and grappling with corporate jargon.
Gwen Stefani quips, "You think AI agents can handle your tasks? Watch me handle my agent!"
Paul Stanley comments, "So you corporate types think you're rock stars? That's as ridiculous as us being corporate types! When your weekend routine involves smashing guitars on stage, a boring office job just doesn't compare…"
Billy Idol adds, "You think that using AI to help you get work done is challenging the status quo? How about trashing hotel rooms?!"
