Anthropic has unveiled ‘Keep Thinking,’ a brand platform that features the company’s Claude model as the AI of choice for problem solvers. Created in partnership with ad agency Mother, the multi-million dollar investment marks the company’s first entry into paid advertising.

The campaign debuts with a 90-second hero film that spotlights problem solvers working with code, fixing bikes, making art and even marine conservation.

Felix Richter, global chief creative officer at Mother, said: “The film acknowledges our problem-filled present but reframes AI as the solution rather than another threat – and it’s true: while the world is full of them, there’s never been a better time to have a problem.”

Rollout of the campaign will span key sports moments, top titles on streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu, print ads in The New York Times and Wall Street Journal and partnerships with top influencers and podcasts.

Out-of-home will run alongside the campaign in multiple cities, featuring Anthropic researchers Kamal Ndousse and Grace Han, plus Poetry Camera creators Kelin Zhang, Ryan Mather and Evan Kahn.
