integrated brand & product campaign / digital eco-system

unbox your phone

Leo Burnett Vietnam arrived to make a pitch for an integrated brand and product campaign of the Samsung Galaxy S8 in Vietnam following the launch of the new bezel-less phone. Samsung Galaxy S8 global ad focuses on the mobile’s new larger ‘infinity’ screen, which has not been featured on previous Galaxy models, and our work for Vietnam is to capitalize on the narrative of ‘breaking out’ of the typical smartphone’s modest screen size. This is an ongoing campaign with various phases that ran all year.

Digital tease

the unconfined livestream

A fake Facebook livestream that compels users to interact with the content until the Samsung Galaxy S8 is revealed when the virtual phone’s bezels crack.

 

HOW IT WORKS

Users view an interactive video presented as a “live” session; in essence, this is a “fake” Facebook livestream that closely resembles the platform. The bezels of the virtual phone crack to reveal the brand-new Samsung Galaxy S8 as viewers respond to the video. The content on the phone invades and controls the entirety of Facebook.

Pre-order Activation

shake to own

Anticipation for Galaxy S8’s first arrival in Vietnam was at an all time high, as people can’t wait to have a first hand experience of the revolutionary “Infinite Display”. But with still a month away from it’s local launch, how could we keep people’s excitement about the new bezel free display screen without the actual S8? Simple, we let them do it virtually, and break those bezels right on their actual phones.

time to move on

Why do our competitor’s fans still resist to leave their current treasured smartphone? How do we convert these die-hard users of other smartphones to switch to Samsung Galaxy S8? We needed to liberate them from their bond and let go of their sentimental attachment with their current phones. 

 

IDEA

We decided to show them that it’s TIME TO MOVE ON

 

To be able to penetrate their hearts and minds, we needed to get into their beloved phones. We developed a mobile platform that detects the mobile device of the user, so that we can direct content to them that is specific to the kind of “other” phone they are using. Carefully customized Facebook and GDN contents targeted at 30 different smartphone models and geo-targeted top 12 iPhone cities were deployed leading users to the platform.

S8 and the gorgeous moments in a day of Thanh Hang

These videos were based on the same TIME TO MOVE ON concept, in which we showed how constrained users’ experiences were before the new S8 liberated them. The series focus on the S8’s superior features to follow supermodel Thanh Hang about for a day.
