Samsung Ads Feature the Few Oddballs Who Shouldn’t 'Upgrade to Galaxy'

Who should switch to Samsung Galaxy?  Everyone…almost. Samsung and R/GA created “Upgrade to Galaxy,” a humorous new digital campaign that introduces viewers to the quirky few among us who absolutely should NOT upgrade to a new Galaxy phone.

 

There are no cool, in-touch millennials engaged with their Samsung phones here. Instead, we meet some characters whose unique personalities and lifestyles mean they’d have no use for our features like a better camera, faster processor, or longer lasting battery. 

 

Whether it’s a guy who takes daytime television way too seriously in “Break Up,” a not-so-handyman who prefers self-repairs to functionality in “Fixer,” a perpetually underwhelmed teenager in “Unimpressed,” or someone who destroys phones regularly for potentially nefarious reasons – not everyone needs (or deserves) the best tech available—some people are okay with “okay”.

 

Everyone else should ‘Upgrade to Galaxy’, suggests the campaign.
