Background

Samsung’s mission is to create human-driven innovation that defy barriers to progress, in the Tokyo Olympics the biggest barrier to progress was the lack of support available from crowds. As the official sponsors of the Australian Olympic team, Samsung wanted to replace the absence of crowd motivation at the Olympics with another form of support.

Describe the creative idea (40% of vote)

Working with Olympians, we gave them an edge over competitors by leveraging something already used by athletes across the globe. Music. We created personalized tracks, each scientifically proven to enhance performance. Every beat, lyric, instrument and artist was chosen to match their desired mind-state, event, and musical preference. To further enhance their performance, we tested and fine-tuned 13 audio-triggers including isochronic tones, personal mantras, cadence and more. Then brought the tracks to life with their favourite Australian artist. Athletes used their tracks to prepare and compete in Tokyo. As the world listened along on Spotify.

Describe the execution (40% of vote)

The campaign was launched during the Olympics through our key assets; the Performance Enhancing Music tracks and the documentary film. The music was launched on Spotify through a branded playlist. In line with how music albums are dropped by artists, we launched OOH street posters during the Olympics period to infiltrate culture. The design of the posters was inspired by brain scans of athletes during a series of performance enhancing music tests.
