Case study

Elevating high compute workstations with creator credibility

Dell sought to strengthen the positioning of its Precision workstation line in two important contexts: reaching engineers and designers pushing the limits of AI and 3D workflows, and showing creative professionals the benefits of choosing Dell over traditional Mac systems. The common thread across both efforts was demonstrating the power of NVIDIA GPUs and the flexibility of Dell’s AI-ready workstations.

Approach
Sundae partnered with Dell across multiple initiatives, building an ongoing influencer marketing engine designed to:

  • Elevate credibility with technical and creative professionals through authentic creator-led stories
  • Highlight AI workflows and NVIDIA performance as differentiators for Dell Precision
  • Expand awareness and social proof by meeting target audiences on Instagram and TikTok

Creators were selected for relevance and credibility — from engineers modeling in 3D, to independent game developers, to creators sharing journal-style reflections on switching from Mac to Dell. This mix allowed Dell to speak to both engineering and creative communities while maintaining a unified brand narrative around power, flexibility, and authenticity.

Impact
By weaving engineering authority and creative authenticity into one creator-led strategy, Dell and Sundae reinforced Precision’s leadership in the AI workstation category. These campaigns established Dell not just as a competitor to Apple, but as the brand pushing the future of AI-enabled productivity and innovation — powered by NVIDIA.

Results

Reach: total impressions substantially outperformed targets

Engagement: ER as high as 9.8%

Sentiment: Overwhelmingly positive (87–88%), with audiences highlighting credibility, performance, and authenticity
