  • The Challenge
  • The Idea
  • Did It Move?

With the rising demand of winter tires in the Americas and EU region, Hankook Tire wanted to carry out a new winter campaign following the previous campaign, "Be One With It – Sky Jumper". As an expansion of the existing campaign, we needed to deliver the core message "Be One With It", which represents the oneness that driver experiences while driving with Hankook tires, as well as the products’ unique selling proposition.

We've pointed out the connection between the Sky Jumper and the Driver in the previous campaign. This time, we brought Heli Board, an extreme sports where snowboarder jumps out of helicopter, as the main material for the new TVC to create a season-focused TVC while maintaining the original message. The film goes on to show the snowboarder and driver in a showdown; a very dynamic and aesthetic sequence with beautiful cinematography and cross-cutting between both the driver and the boarder barreling through the wintry landscape. This not only symbolizes extreme driving performance but also how one can get the best driving performance out of Hankook Tires without losing precise control in the most extreme winter conditions.

A stable expansion of the "Be One With It" campaign.
Contributed to establish the differentiated brand position among competitors and to boost the brand's premium image.

  • Did It Move?

Samsung Electronics is providing customers with more and more opportunities to experience Samsung products and engage with the brand. Key to this was an upscale retail environment that would truly amaze people, answer the needs of an affluent audience and differentiate premium products from the regular line up.

Samsung Premium Brand Shop features a contemporary and inviting space with an upscale look and feel. The interactive store is truly dedicated to enabling hands-on user experience of Samsung's latest flagship products and life enriching innovations. The store merchandises a higher percentage of hero products than other types of Samsung retail stores, so customers can experience the forefront of evolving technology. Dividing the space into zones focused on specific product categories enables easy navigation throughout the store. Each zone highlights lifestyle-oriented benefits of the products, e.g. Mobile, Visual Display, Home Appliance or Home Office to reflect Samsung's place in each customer's life. A consulting service area with trained sales representatives provides a high level of product consultation, app tutorials, and demo classes.
Samsung Premium Brand Shops opened at the end of 2011 in central locations of Moscow and London.

London and Moscow Premium Brand Shops continue to strengthen the innovative image of Samsung brand and provide exceptional retail experience to the customers.

Samsung Mobile PIN

  • The Challenge
  • The Idea
  • Did It Move?

With the ever expanding Samsung Mobile device line up, it is getting more difficult for the customers to be in the right place at the right time. The key is to: have a branded experience that comes to the shopper, instead of the shopper going to it; having an experience that is about directness and accessibility, that is built into a larger brand building program; to be where the customers are on short notice and timed with the launch of flagships products.

For retail inquiries, please contact Simon Hathaway at shop@cheil.com
For inquiries in regards to this project, please contact Angelo Vicari at a.vicari@samsung.com

PIN's objective is to create a consistent, adaptable and easily deployable retail/activation platform. An open, adaptable pavilion with invisible walls that engages the public with ease and reinforcing PIN’s brand positioning - 'A world without walls'. As a moving landmark, PIN can be relocated anywhere around the globe using prefabricated assembly system. Be it in large department store, at a festival or in a public space, indoor or outdoor: the PIN adapts to the respective environment. Surrounding PIN, various programs are developed to provide fun and immersive life-oriented experiences beyond product feature explanation. As a premium retail platform, the flagship products are presented in a curated atmosphere, with highly trained and skilled experience staff called PIN Mates.

PIN's launch coincided with the arrival of Galaxy SIII in the UK and PIN ran throughout the summer to include the London 2012 Olympic Games. PIN was embraced by Londoners at 4 locations: Westfield Shopping Center, Spitalfields Market, Hyde Park, and Olympic Park. All locations far exceeded foot traffic expectations and sales, and in some cases exceeding the sales of stand-alone Dealer Phone Shops. They truly connected with visitors due to locally relevant events, unique design, easily accessible locations and well trained staff.

Bacchus the energy drink campaign

  • The Challenge
  • The Idea
  • Did It Move?

Bacchus, an energy drink manufactured by Korea's Dong-A Pharmaceutical, was originally categorized as a "medicinal product" and therefore sold exclusively in pharmacies. Bacchus distinguished itself from other drinks through its health benefits and maintained an overwhelming hold on the number-one spot in the market.
On July 19, 2011, the government re-categorized Bacchus as a "non-medicinal product." That allowed Bacchus to be sold in supermarkets and general stores alongside other standard beverages including energy drinks. However, jumping into the fiercely competitive general beverage market put Bacchus at risk of losing its unrivaled positioning as an antidote for fatigue.
In light of the altered classification and distribution environment, Bacchus now faced the challenge of upholding its reputation as well as maintaining consistent sales.

The goal was for Bacchus to continue the brand's close association with fatigue relief.
Bacchus established a marketing campaign that struck a chord with Korean consumers.
A new series of commercials featured people from all walks of life experiencing various forms of physical, emotional, and psychological fatigue. Weary Korean consumers identified with this campaign. This helped solidify the brand as synonymous with fatigue relief.

Sales of Bacchus jumped more than 50% in the second quarter of 2012 to 50 billion won compared to the previous quarter.
The commercial was awarded "Best Campaign" by TVcf.co.kr.

Samsung Galaxy Note

  • The Challenge
  • The Idea
  • Did It Move?

Samsung has newly launched 5.3" screen smartphone. However, due to the failure of previous 5" phones of the competitors, there were high concerns & negative responses about the success of Galaxy Note. How could Samsung overcome the negative perception about big screen and change it to a benefit? Also how are we going to position Galaxy Note in the existing Smartphone market and imprint it in the minds of consumers?

We decided to position Galaxy Note as a new category product as the first mover  and promote the unique innovativeness and conveniences. We executed various campaigns by stage and implemented new integrated marketing activities. In the first stage, we have created TV commercial emphasizing its innovativeness and brand philosophy. We also staged "Cinenote" campaign, a story that begins as a webtoon (online comic strip) continuing into three different genre movies. The "Cine Note" campaign saw the webtoon filmed into three different movies by three celebrity Korean directors who also wrote the music score for the movies using the Note's digital memo feature. During the second phase, we created TV commercials to set a new category standard, focusing on the 5.3" big screen with its unique usability of S Pen in a stylish manner. In the third stage, we executed TV commercials showing Galaxy Note featuring a new lifestyle. Moreover, we’ve executed various marketing activities to re-invent numerous consumer touch points such as Galaxy Note Art Fair & National Art Contest.

Galaxy Note enjoyed amazing sales boost reaching 0.2 million sales in just 4 months after the product launch. The average sales in 2012 1Q has increased 153% from the previous year, and Samsung's market share reached 66.5% in the first quarter of 2012. Cinenote reached 18 million online hits and had 1,340 media coverage. The new Note category was concretely set in the minds of consumers through our successful Galaxy Note campaigns.

Emart Sunny Sale and Shadow QR Code

  • The Challenge

  • Did It Move?

Emart was Korea's number one discount store, with 141 chain stores throughout the country. However, the company had a weakness. They saw that sales dramatically dropped every day at lunchtime. How could Emart increase sales between 12pm and 1pm every day?

We decided to give people a unique shopping experience that was only available at lunchtime. So, we created large three-dimensional QR codes that used sunlight and shadow so they could only be scanned between 12pm and 1pm. If a Shadow QR Code was scanned between, people could enjoy special offers to purchase items via the Emart mobile app. The campaign was such a hit that it was expanded from 13 locations to 36.

More than 12,000 coupons were issued during the campaign and new Emart online membership increased by an incredible 58% from the previous month. Furthermore, sales grew by 25% during lunch hours during that month. The Shadow QR code promotion also received major media coverage over several months. The campaign had also brought some sunshine to people's lives.

Seoul loves coffee. That's why the Korean capital is called the 'City of Coffee'. People there knew Dunkin' Donuts for their donuts, but they associated the brand less with coffee. The company wanted more people to choose Dunkin' Donuts for coffee, rather than visit other cafes. How could they make people associate Dunkin' with coffee?

People love the taste of coffee, but also the smell. So, we created coffee aroma atomizers. We installed them on buses, since the people we targeted usually commute to work via public transport. The machines were released the pleasant scent of coffee whenever the jingle from the Dunkin' Donuts radio ad is heard. Through careful positioning, people would also see print ads at bus stops when they disembarked.

More than 350,000 people experienced the ad during the campaign. Visitors to Dunkin' Donuts grew by 16%, and sales at outlets near bus stops increased by an impressive 29%. People who were exposed to the campaign were now inclined to consider the company a coffee 'expert'. More people were thinking of Dunkin' Donuts when they thought of their morning coffee.

Around five million hectares of forest are cut down every year to make paper. Samsung Printers wanted to change this by encouraging sustainable printing-practices. They wanted to help both existing and new customers to make a difference. Samsung's unique belief was that people wanted to save the environment but through minimal effort.

The Minus One project is a simple idea that enables people to be more eco-friendly - even when printing in bulk. Just reduce the font size by one point before you print. It can cut down the number of pages needed for a document by up to 50%. We printed a classic Indian novel in a smaller font, saving more than 350,000 sheets of paper with just one book. It showed the publishing industry and everyone else how easy being green can be.

Minus one was adopted by 73 organisations, schools and colleges, and more than 150,000 people took the Minus One pledge. Not only that, but 39 books were released in a Minus One edition. Samsung had shown people that everyone could be more environmentally-friendly – from businesses to individuals. Crucially, they also showed that it didn't need to be difficult or expensive. People now associated the company with smart solutions.

  • The Challenge
  • The Idea
  • Did It Move?

Tesco Homeplus in South Korea wanted more people to shop at their stores. However, the market leader (their competitor) had more locations. Shoppers were likelier to visit the competitor's stores conveniently nearby than travel to their nearest Homeplus. Setting up more retail outlets wasn't the answer. How could Homeplus get to number one without more stores?

If people can't come to the stores, then bring stores to the people. Travelling to shop is inconvenient, but what if you could shop on everyday journeys? The first virtual Tesco Homeplus stores were set up using video screens in subway stations. Shoppers could see all the products that they'd find in a real store. They could even order them online for home delivery by taking photos with a smartphone.

Audience Engagement
During the campaign, an amazing 10,287 people visited the online Homeplus store using smartphones. Registered members rose by 76%. More people now shop with Homeplus thanks to a fun new experience.

Sales
Tesco Homeplus succeeded in becoming number one in the online market. During the campaign, online sales grew by 130%. Homeplus also became a very close second in the offline market.

Awards
The campaign won the prestigious Grand Prix, highest award at the Cannes Lions Festival 2011.

  • Did it Move?

Minewater wanted to show that its purified and mineral-rich water was good for everyone. So, they launched a campaign to help the millions worldwide who don't have safe drinking water. Research showed that 89% of people wanted to donate, but in reality only 0.9% actually donated. How could the company connect with people and also make it easy for them to donate?

Almost every product in the world has a barcode. Minewater has two. Swipe one, and you'll be charged $1 for the bottle of water. But, if you swipe the other, you'll donate 10 cents to bring water to African children who need it. This new barcode in the shape of a drop of water is called a Barcodrop. You can peel it off if you don't want to donate, and leave it on if you do. It's as simple as that. Every time you buy some water, there's a little more happiness in the world.

Audience Engagement
51% of customers made Barcodrop donations in only the first two weeks. With a little encouragement, the campaign rapidly spread via social media, with Barcodrop photo sharing becoming a hot trend in South Korea. The campaign transformed the idea of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) from being serious, complex and dull to being simple and fun. People felt good about donating and they felt good about Minewater.

Sales
Sales volume rose by an amazing 244% within the first two weeks.

S-Oil 'Here' Balloon

  • Did It Move?

S-Oil wanted to show it had a mission: to save oil. They knew South Korea's capital had some of the highest gasoline consumption in the world. What's more, car use was increasing, petrol costs rising, and parking spaces scarce. Every day, a Seoul driver wanders for 500m to find a space. Over a month, this comes to 15km of driving. People were using around a litre of gas just trying to park.

What if we could tell people there was a parking space right here? With HERE balloons, S-Oil did exactly that. They set up a bright yellow balloon in each space. The balloon falls when a car parks in the space, and rises again when the car leaves. Drivers could see the colourful balloons from far away and spot empty spaces. Quick parking means saving time and saving oil. That means happier drivers and a healthier planet.

Audience Engagement
The campaign certainly helped drivers to save oil. In just one day, 700 cars used 23 litres less oil. Over a whole year, they saved much more. S-Oil had engaged with people: now they knew it was a company that cared about saving oil. They even put the balloons on their own gas stations. People now thought about cutting gas costs when they thought about S-Oil.

Samsung Electronics was number one in the compact digital camera market. People already knew that they made great cameras. The company wanted people to see that it was a thoughtful brand with a deep philosophy, too. What was the best way for Samsung to show its humanity and connect with people?

We all experience life in our own way. However, photography lets us see the world through different eyes. Samsung gave cameras to 11 visually-impaired students and taught them basic photography skills. The results were amazing. They showed that cameras are for everyone - not just those who can see. The photos they'd taken were so good that Samsung opened an exhibition of the best ones.

Audience Engagement
Brand preference increased from 30.8% to an even more impressive 42%. Now, when people think of Samsung cameras, they associate the brand with new viewpoints and new experiences. They see it as a company that makes things happen that we'd never have imagined before.
