Globally-coded but increasingly regionally-executed. ASUS holds onto the 12-year-old 'In Search of Incredible' platform as corporate equity while event marketing flexes to 'Always Incredible' and product narratives are subsumed under 'Ubiquitous AI. Incredible Possibilities.' Aggressive Copilot+ AI-PC push with category-leading specs (lightest Copilot+ PC, ProArt creator story) tied to ~$1.1B 2024 marketing spend, 60% digital, anchored on first-party data and personalized retargeting. Strong digital/ecommerce performance signals, but the brand voice across markets is fragmenting between HQ corporate, ROG specialist track, and proliferating regional AORs (Tonic AU, Thrive PR ANZ, in-house NA creative).

Pitch now.
The 'In Search of Incredible' platform is 13 years old in 2026 — argue for a creative platform refresh tied to the AI-PC inflection (Copilot+, on-device AI, agentic PCs) rather than another tagline extension.
