Description:
Situation: The Frame is a very high-end TV difficult to sell at a time when inflation in Spain has hit the salaries of the middle class and where the price of products is more important than their quality.

And at Samsung we have to promote with 50% less budget than previous years.

• Brief: Create an online promo to increase the sales of one of Samsung's high-end TVs: The Frame, while highlighting the unique features, and its positioning as the TV of art.

• Objectives: Increase sales of The Frame in a complicated moment for the country, through a promotion that reduces its price, but not its value, and, at the same time, generates the awareness of it without enough budget for PR.

Description of Project The Frame is a TV of art from Samsung. The only television on the market shaped like a frame, and the only that when you buy it, you acquire more than 1,600 pieces of art in wallpaper format in standby mode.

Taking advantage of this particularity, we created a promo that hacked the Spanish tax system since we were selling it as art, with a VAT of 10% and not that of TVs, which is 21%. Through theartofhack.es, users could upload or paint any drawing on the web and automatically obtain a discount for being classified as art.

A legal loophole created to turn a promo into an opportunity to be more competitive in the market.

• Execution: The campaign started digitally with theartofhack.es. While we launched a promotional video, mailings and digital displays to reach more people. Finally we created spaces in art galleries and in our physical shops.

• Timeline 1- We launched theartofhack.es so that people could participate. 2- In parallel, we launched our campaign through banners and pre-roll videos to reach a wider audience and invite them. At the same time, we use Samsung's CRM database to send mailings to the interested target. 3- We expanded the idea by creating physical spaces in our stores and art galleries to get more people on board.

• Placement We use different channels to make a complete campaign (a landing page, Youtube Pre-roll, Mailing and spaces in Art fairs and Samsung Stores).

• Scale The idea has worked so well, that we want to take it to other countries where there is a VAT difference.

• Results: Sales 55% increase in sales. • Engagement +3000 users creating theirs drawings in theartofhack.es to get their discount • Reach +400% increase in visits to Samsung's website, 2.8M views in all media. In addition, some important media to talk about our idea, such as Antena 3 or Spanish radio Cadena Ser, amount others. • Achievement against business targets 33% of The Frame's annual sales are achieved in a single month.
