In 2020, we were creating all the content to help launch and grow Samsung’s first ever global brand Instagram channel We developed a consistent look and feel that stood out to Samsung’s Millennial/Gen Z audience and competed not just with other tech brands, but with the vibrant, lively and playful content that fills the feeds of Instagram users today We launched the channel on February 29 2020 (a leap year), a day where we released a series of video content around #DoWhatYouCantDay – 24 extra hours to achieve more than you could in any other year From there the channel grew with campaigns celebrating cultural moments such as Earth Day, content curated from elsewhere in the Samsung business and brought together through our strong visual identity, and reactive posts demonstrating Samsung’s commitment to supporting their audience through the coronavirus pandemic

We researched and engaged a cross section of the internet’s finest talent using both illustrators and influencers to maximise social reach All the work was brought to life using a bespoke team of designers and animators that applied the unique look & feel across all the content made

Throughout the year, we created and curated 100+ social assets across in-feed posts and IG stories Many of these posts were adapted for YouTube and even DOOH sites at London Piccadilly Circus, New York Times Square and the Milan Duomo

In just one year, we have grown and engaged a proactive audience of just under 400k followers and we look forward to continuing to grow the channel in 2021
