Data from YouGov BrandIndex, which tracks consumer perceptions toward brands on a daily basis worldwide, shows that Ad Awareness of the South Korean multinational conglomerate saw an uplift of 6.5 percentage points in Australia and 6.2 percentage points in Singapore over the four-week period.
Samsung had unveiled three new versions of its flagship Galaxy S smartphones in early February – Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra – which the company said feature better cameras, faster processors and more storage space.
Besides launching a video advertisement highlighting the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s night photography quality, enhanced processing speed and stylus pen capabilities, Samsung also launched a marketing campaign on Snapchat in Australia, which featured a solar eclipse in Augmented Reality (AR).
