Since 2021, we’ve worked with Google Android to craft #TheAndroidShow, a series of global livestream events & short episodes built around creating conversations with the Android developer community.
Conceived & branded by Gramafilm, these quarterly shows unveil Android's latest news, inspiring developers to create top-notch apps through Google Play and Android’s newest features.

In 2021, realising the need to foster engagement via new channels, we worked with Android to pioneer The Android Show (#TAS). A live-streamed show led by host/s and incorporating VTs, this show was designed to bring back the feeling of time and place lost during the pandemic.
Though born from the COVID era, The Android Show (#TAS) stands apart from Zoom quizzes & sourdough starters, and Tiger King. Unlike fleeting fads, it not only endured but thrived, and is now bigger than ever.

The second Android Show of 2021 launched the annual Android Dev Summit - a face-to-face event for developers - ensuring Android’s online community was kept in the know.
A standout feature of the first-ever Android Show was our Jetpack Compose #AndroidDevChallenge launch video, shot and produced by Gramafilm.

Leveraging our #TeamJetpack campaign we constructed a #DevSignal inviting developers to heed the call, creating apps to destroy the “bugs of chaos”. The teaser was viewed over 14 million times.
With the theme of 'Excellent Apps Across Devices,' we created a new Developer Story showing how Spotify developers adapt for tablets and wearables with Android UI. With their mission to connect creators with fans worldwide, Spotify was the perfect feature.
The success of the first two episodes of #TheAndroidShow in 2021 led to the commissioning of two more long-form online broadcasts in 2022.
Deciding to introduce a shift in tone for the new series, we recast the host from being a curious outsider to speaking from a position of knowledge. Featuring 2 of Android’s very own Developers, Florina Muntenescu and Huyen Tue Dao.

Android certainly had a busy 2022. They launched Android 13, explored tablets and screens, and pushed wearable tech to new heights. Thanks to our strong partnership via #TAS, Android asked us to craft a reference-packed animated poster & film wrapping up this incredible 2022 journey.

With device innovation not slowing down, Q1 of 2023 saw us produce yet another exciting Android Show. Focused on the rapid hardware enhancements for foldable devices and large screens, this episode shed light on their implications for Android Developers.
And who better to help unpack what this means for developers than our newest hosts: Android Senior Dev Relations Engineer, Rebecca Gutteridge, and Android Google Developer Expert (GDE), Madonna Wambua.
One of the few notable debuts of #TAS 2023 was the launch of Segment Shorts. With the aim of extending #TAS's post-event impact and maximising content value, we crafted mobile-friendly versions designed for enhanced social engagement.
