The Campaign

Samsung launched a new dehumidifier in highly competitive Korean market which needed a point of difference in a fiercely competitive marketplace of more than 50 dehumidifier brands. We needed to grab attention of new customers who have difficulties maintaining the optimal humidity level because they don’t know when to use the dehumidifier. In order to stand out, we created humidity alarm bear, a door knob hanger with moisture-sensitive ink that makes humidity visible through its color. Through this campaign, it became easier to maintain optimal humidity than ever before.
