The Campaign

The idea was focused on the interaction between digital kiosks and the main screen. We transformed visitors’ selfies into animated images with particles made of products, and put them in the screen to make our visitors to be part of our own content. TVs, washing machines, smartphones, and air conditioners… We took all of Samsung’s product lineups and represented each of them as particles, as a motif interconnecting them to create new world in the huge entrance screen. We strayed from the typical design elements involving lines, or lighting, and looked towards the products themselves for inspiration. At each digital kiosk, all of Samsung’s particles come together to create facial images of visitors, to deliver a philosophy that these technologies exist at the leisure of our consumers. The faces of each visitor from the interaction represented the future of Samsung IoT Technology, which means it could be anyone’s future.

Welcoming – Guide for Selfies – Transformation – Sending; once the visitors were welcomed to each kiosk, they get participated in taking a selfie, then their selfies get transformed into animated images made of particles of Samsung products and sent to the screen in real-time, right at the end of the brand manifesto.

Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service

This campaign started from the heart of brand experience, IFA(Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin) where international electronics brands, partners and consumers are searching for the new innovations of electronics industry. We were part of this project to find new solution to engage with the visitors through the interaction between digital installation and a big screen at the exhibition and it was possible to introduce new way of digesting the idea of IoT(Internet of Things) to our consumers by arousing visitor’s curiosity as we make them actually be part of the content as soon as they step in Samsung’s brand zone.

1. Brand Manifesto The brand message, “Samsung, Inspired by You” is the key message of the exhibition and the big screen in Samsung brand zone was a main medium for this brand manifesto. For that, a manifesto film was made to demonstrate what it would be like when every Samsung products get connected with consumers. 2. Interactive Not just making to see what it’s like through manifesto film, we developed interactive digital kiosks before the screen to engage the visitors. With the kiosks, each visitor could take their own selfies and transform them into animated facial images which were made with product particles. 3. Journey The entire journey for the Samsung exhibition started with the brand manifesto and interactive digital kiosks. With this, it was possible for visitors to engage with the brand message and take a glimpse of new IoT life that Samsung presents.
