Overview

Description

Mantra:

Fans are not mere opportunists who turn up just to watch the games.

They have an on-going relationship with sport: passionate or simple players, they are interested, love, thrill, support, copy, try, sweat... 

In their own way, they experience the discipline and participate in the success of their favourite athletes.  

Your support, our strength

THE IDEA

Offer fans a unique experience by giving their messages more force through Samsung's technology, to be more than just a supporter.
