Creative brief


ABOUT THIS CONTEST

Technology is here to make our lives better - whether the technology is supposed to make you more efficient at what you do for a living, or whether it’s supposed to help you take greater advantage of the things that bring you enjoyment.

Better productivity at work makes your career better, better productivity in your leisure time makes your life better. The new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 can make you better at both – which is doubly good, since life and work overlap so much these days.

The 9 to 5 work week now seems as quaint as the rotary telephone. Increasingly, work and life blends into a 24/7 lifestyle in which people demand constant connectivity, and expect constant productivity of themselves. This is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1’s crowd.

The young sales executive who searches and books a table at the hottest Vietnamese restaurant while importing new business contacts between speakers at a conference. The Executive who gets a chance to catch up on his movies while on a business trip. The mom who video chats with her dad while researching local schools near her new neighborhood after work. These are the 24/7 digitally active people whom the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 helps to live smarter.


YOUR MISSION

Make a video, up to 60 seconds long, about how 24/7 digitally active people make their lives fuller through the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Some key ideas that your videos could focus on or highlight:

  • How widgets help improve your personal productivity and time management
  • Superior entertainment experience (movies, games, magazines etc.)
  • How Flash support helps you live a smarter life
  • Use cases for a thinner and lighter tablet for a true on-the-go experience
  • Show how superior technical specs vs. leading tablet translate to consumer benefits
  • Day in the life through use of multiple applications from Android Market
  • How does the tablet help replace your personal or work PC
  • How does the tablet help replace multiple consumer electronics devices in the house
  • How a tablet helps balance work & life
