How to organically incorporate a product into newsworthy content?

See

To effectively promote Samsung's curved S-UHD television, we decided to create a story that's bigger than Samsung's direct mainstream market.

Believe

We transported the famous but immovable Dutch artwork "Panorama Mesdag" to a panoramic setup of 14 Samsung screens. In "Moving Mesdag," visitors could experience a unique digital reinterpretation of the iconic masterpiece for the first time, created by video artist Menno Otten.

Achieve

Moving Mesdag received international media coverage and travelled to the NDSM-werf, Museumpark, Maastricht and Groningen. The activation won several awards and attracted more than 50.000 Dutch visitors.

Historic activation

Moving Mesdag is a panoramic video artwork that shows 24 hours and 4 seasons in 6 minutes. To achieve this effect, Menno Otten digitally edited and transformed the cities and beaches of the original "Panorama Mesdag" into a dynamic presentation. In addition to the 50.000 Dutch visitors, a lot of tourists in Amsterdam saw the work for the first time because the original in The Hague is immovable. This activation brought together creativity and innovation in a historical activation that generated a lot of free publicity for Samsung, Panorama Mesdag and Menno Otten.
