Samsung Launches Biggest U.S. Campaign to Date for Galaxy S III

A big component of the campaign will be the use of movie theaters, as Samsung wanted to be where consumers typically frequent in the summertime and “make sure Samsung was there in an innovative and never been done before way,” said Mr. Wallace. Rather than just run ads before a film, Samsung will run 3-D games using Kinect-like technology that the company had to develop specifically for the execution. Essentially, sensors will be installed in 55 theaters that will detect audience movements which will control a game on the screen.

As the budget indicates, Samsung is making a huge bet on the Galaxy S III, touting the phone as having capabilities that no other smartphone has. The Galaxy S III provides consumers with a platform that offers content and services that “engage and better [consumers’] lives,” said Samsung CMO Todd Pendleton. He added that the phone does “things no other smartphone can do,” such as share pictures, music and videos by tapping two Galaxy S III phones together; it also allows users to watch HD videos while texting.

The campaign entails what Brian Wallace, VP-strategic marketing at Samsung, calls “never been done before” executions, such as an out-of-home effort that allows Galaxy S III users to download free content — such as music or e-books — directly to their phones via 50 kiosks and some 40,000 posters in the U.S., going up over the next few weeks.
