The how
We created, managed and delivered the tech-giants 360 partnership, which featured an advertising campaign, experiential, sales, mobile app, Olympic products, content, co-marketing, digital, social, VR and public relations.
Highlights included, creating a bespoke Galaxy Studio immersive experience in the heart of the Olympic Village, launching an advertising campaign which spanned 17 countries, OOH advertising at iconic landscapes and screens across the world and delivering a bespoke app.
To make Samsung the athlete’s choice, we designed, created and distributed limited edition Rio 2016 branded mobile phone devices to 12,500 athletes – so that they could stay connected, share their games experience and call home to their loved ones.
