No doubt that Telus is hoping to make a splash by enlisting the dolphin, one of nature’s smartest creatures, to launch its latest line of devices and help people smarten up by upgrading their smartphone experience. This ad, developed by Taxi, shows the telco’s new mascot considering what looks to be complicated equations, which are, in fact, all made up of telco-related acronyms. The dolphin, of course, sports the trademark Telus grin at the end of the spot probably because he knows that if the equations were normal math symbols, he’d still be better at them than us.
