Results and Effectiveness

More than 15,000 pictures were sent to the station during December!! Only 30 were selected. Integration allowed demonstrating directly to a wide base of prospects the Digital Cam functionality. Generated an added value of $145K in terms of advertising space!! “There is no doubt that the campaign raised awareness and our Digital Camera growth this year is 23% on top of what had been achieved last year” - Digital Camera Product Manager

Creative Execution

Weather takes on a new lease of life during December – with everyone waiting for news and updates on snow fall. The idea was to invite our consumers to go outdoor and capture this beauty through their digital cameras. Our job was to share these moments in an innovative, engaging and entertaining way through a new segment ‘Samsung Photo of the Day’ within the daily News Weather program. We used two images given with the brief to create a special execution showing the “Picture of the Day” in the LCD compartment of the camera Every night a selected picture will be broadcasted within the weather report 2 Jpegs and one TV station were only used; we capitalized on the highest viewed segment while turning the 2 jpegs into an animated execution that stretched the brand visibility beyond a regular sponsorship and a 7” spot.
