This document summarizes a marketing campaign by Samsung to showcase the Samsung NX300 camera. The campaign involves giving the cameras to different groups of people in the city, like taxi drivers, street food vendors, and window cleaners, and having them capture photos that show their unique perspectives. Taxi drivers will be the first group featured, with the campaign launching in three phases - seeding, launch, and sustenance - to generate buzz and engagement through photos shared on social media and a microsite. The goal is to showcase how different people see the world through a fresh lens.
2. Different people see the world differently. And what they see makes them
the people they are. Fresh Takes is an experiment where we get to view the
world through a different lens, through somebody else’s eyes. To bring this
to life, we give Samsung NX 300 cameras to different sets of people. Their
task would be to capture the city from their perspective.
THE THINKING :
4. Taxi drivers see the city like no one else does. They go to places and see all the
different slices of the city like nobody else. Crime, gore, raw and real, they are
one of the best people who can capture the city’s underbelly.
TAXI DRIVERS
5. Most Asian cities can be identified by its street food. The character of a place
reflects in it’s street food. And street food vendors are no different. They see all
kinds of people, serve all kinds of characters. They could bring out the true
personality of the city.
STREET FOOD VENDORS
6. Not just any window cleaner. But the ones who get on top of skyscrapers. They
quite literally see the city like not many people do. What could be the view from
the top, people often wonder. This could be our answer.
WINDOW CLEANERS
7. Small streets, by-lanes, they go through places that most people avoid or miss.
They cut through jams, do crazy bike stunts and have they own loyal group of
riders.

8. In season 1, we will roll out this campaign using taxi drivers in 3 phases:
LAUNCH SUSTENANCESEEDING
TAXI DRIVERS
9. In this phase, we will focus on provoking and creating buzz amongst the
Samsung fan base and Instagram / Pinterest communities.
SEEDING :
10. First, we hire well-known professional
photographers to train the taxi drivers
to take awesome shots –
composition, basics, feature based
training
(For eg: Tilt screen feature).

well known portrait and
street photographer.

PHOTOGRAPHERS FROM
MALAYSIA :
12. In the seeding phase, we will post the training videos online. These videos will
feature real interactions between the photographers and the taxi drivers. We will
explore the ‘human’ side of such an interaction and avoid making it cold and
clinical.
13. INSTAGRAM
We collaborate with Instagram and have a
special media buy. When Instagram users
open up their ‘Explore’ function for the first
time, they’ll see a composition of shot
alphabets that spell out… ‘SEE UR
WORLD LIKE NVR B4’. When one
clicks on the photo, more details about the
campaign is revealed.
14. PINTEREST
Similar to the Instagram collaboration, we apply the same seeding technique on
Pinterest.
16. FACEBOOK PAGE
We do the same on our Facebook page to create buzz amongst our fan base.
17. MEDIA PARTNERSHIPS
Samsung spends a lot of money in media advertising. Let’s leverage on those
partnerships to seed articles and documentary type of content.
18. In this phase, we showcase the awesome shots taken by the cab
drivers. We will create awareness about the campaign and drive traffic
to the microsite through mass media, PR and blogger engagement
programmes. We will also let people experience the camera and share
this experience online.
LAUNCH :
19. We will launch this campaign with a flag off ceremony. All the 20 taxis will hit the
road simultaneously. We will invite prominent photographers to be the first
passengers and the press to cover the event.

celebrities (Radio DJs, TV hosts, etc) for a taxi ride. They can interact with the
camera while exploring the new dimensions of the city. For example, the food
blogger could ask the taxi driver to take him to a place that serves the best
chicken rice or maybe the taxi driver could take the celebrity to a hidden antique
store.
47. People can also interact with the taxi drivers via the microsite and ask them
specific questions. Like which is the best place have a teh tarik? The taxi drivers
can photo-blog their answers in real time. These answers will generate more
