Emojis Alive
Samsung
Brand | Experimental Marketing
Working with Uber as a partner to Samsung to ‘bring emojis to life’ - literally.
THE CHALLENGE
Using emojis on our phone helps us communicate in a whole new way. To demonstrate that Samsung Galaxy phones bring the way we express ourselves and communicate to life, we literally brought emojis to life.
THE STRATEGY
The “delivery moment” was our social set-piece, with a simple hashtag, #GalaxyEmojisAlive, featured on thousands of Facebook, Instagram and Twitter posts, shared organically by recipients of the gifts.
THE EXECUTION
Partnering with Uber to deliver real-life emojis to Samsung Galaxy owners across Australia, we thanked Samsung customers with everything from hand-crafted meringues shaped like the Poo Emoji, to Gift Emojis that included Samsung tablets, smartwatches and headphones.
