Samsung: Sami the Robot

Through the eyes of a real delivery robot we discover the craftsmanship of Samsung mobile devices as 'Sami' guides us through a mobile phone factory during a regular working day.

ROLE: CONCEPT / CREATIVE DIRECTOR    TYPE: COMMERCIAL    CLIENT: SAMSUNG    AGENCY: R/GA

CONCEPTION

Traveling to Vietnam to research the project, there I discovered the unique way in which the Samsung product assembly comes together; with the aid of cute little autonomous robots. This insight proved an apt way to humanize technology.

STORYBOARD IN ACTION

To bring this concept to life, the creative team worked tirelessly together with director Michael Spiccia and production at Art and Sciences. This side by side comparison below highlights my original vision matched with the final result.
