Samsung have never used an audio partnership for a major launch and wanted to cement the name of the handset in the mind of the audience: Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Series – with a focus on S21.
Samsung wanted to make this the BIGGEST ever handset launch in the UK.
OBJECTIVES:
Samsung’s broad audience is 16+ with a focus on 16-44-year-olds.
Radio is an incredibly resilient and trusted medium and connects with listeners via multiple passion points for different audiences – with a focus on music.
If Samsung could ‘control’the music, they control the attention of tens of millions of UK listeners.
We know that 13.9m Bauer listeners do not own a Samsung, so this is the ideal audience to influence!
The partnership spanned across ALL of Bauer Media’s audio brands, with further integration on KISS, Absolute and Magic, including playing ‘21 Songs in a Row’ and talent-fronted social videos, supported with a layer of mobile first digital audio inventory on Octave.
