Motorola Consumer
Electronic Show
In 2010, Motorola launched its first flagship smartphone on the Google Android platform. Branded as “The First Phone with Social Skills,” MOTOBLUR integrated conversations, contacts, and social feeds into a single open-source interface. The core idea was simple: people should spend more time living their lives and less time managing them. This belief shaped the creative strategy behind the product launch, campaign, and booth design at CES.
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES)—the premier stage for next-generation consumer tech—Motorola brought this philosophy to life through a booth designed for connection. Open and barrier-free, the space encouraged attendees to interact with the product and each other in a communal, welcoming environment. Visually expressive photography and carefully placed environmental graphics supported wayfinding while maintaining the natural flow of the plaza-like layout.
This design approach set Motorola apart from the typical overstimulating, flashy booths at CES—distinguishing the brand not only in aesthetics but in spirit, through its emphasis on simplicity, authenticity, and human connection.
