Samsung Galaxy A Awesome is for everyone

↳ Client: Samsung
↳ Studio: Wieden+Kennedy

↳ Please note that this is a Wieden+Kennedy project where Tina Touli collaborated as the Lead Designer for the Motion Team.
Global campaign celebrating and elevating creators from around the world, leading the motion team for the titles’ design. 
The design concept is inspired by the campaign’s theme, which brings together creatives from all around the world to collaborate and build an exciting and dynamic mosaic inspired by the Duet chains and culture of co-creation on social platforms. They start with one piece of footage and encourage other creators to join and add something to the story, forming an endless mosaic that builds a strong sense of connection with others around the world – the new phenomenon of global culture sync in action.

CONCEPT
The young generation of content creators don’t just take technology at face value; when their optimism meets their hands-on improvisation, they create the behaviours, memes, crazes, dances and music that inspire the rest of the world. They aren’t just future smartphone buyers; they are where the future is created. So instead of only speaking to these global creators, we collaborated with them.
The film takes the viewer from a Bangkok tattoo artist Parangew, to Jonathan Neguebites dancing on a beach in Rio, to a twins rap duo Ain’t Afraid in Michigan, to the first Nigeria’s skate crew Wafflesncream, to Vogue choreographer Alina Ryzhkova in snowy Kiev, to Kurdish-British model and activist Deba, and so on. The ride is accompanied by a remix of the iconic techno banger that highlights the awesome benefits of Galaxy A: “Awesome screen, awesome camera, long lasting battery life”.
In addition to the Official Launch Film, and using the same mosaic technique, six 15-second feature films have been created highlighting the features of the Galaxy A72, A52/A52 5G and A32 to help people express and share their creativity: Camera & Water resistance, Security, Battery, Storage, Display & Performance, 5G.
The ‘Why Galaxy A’ film was specially created for the Samsung Galaxy Awesome Unpacked in 2021 to reaffirm Samsung’s commitment to bringing awesome technology to everyone.  This anthem film takes us through a global choir of creators showing what they can do with a Galaxy A in-hand.
The campaign launched globally, including in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Spain and South Africa and played out via a range of assets across TV, digital and social.
