Samsung | Notebook Plus2

Brief

Our friends at Samsung tasked us with building a film to launch of their Notebook Plus2. This new laptop was targeted at a young, super-busy audience that spent a lot of time in noisy online spaces. We needed to make a spot that could communicate instantly on social, was not language specific, introduced the ‘Plus’ model of Notebook, evoked simplicity and that by owning this new machine you were ‘getting more’.

Approach

Taking inspiration from the logic of Dieter Rams; we stripped things back, losing anything that could be lost in favour of what worked. We realised that we could answer all of the criteria by using the Plus symbol itself. It is minimal, immediate and understood in any language. It underscores the product name at every turn while evoking notions of simplicity and ‘getting more’.

Impact

The end result is a project that delivers on two fronts. It’s an eye-catching and memorable film that draws you in with its playfulness. But it’s also informative and meaningful, leveraging that playfulness in a way that gives the audience a better understanding of the product.
