Background
In a country of 1.4 billion people:
Over population is a reality
Infrastructure inequality is a reality
Pollution is a reality
Gender gap is a reality
The great tech divide is a reality
Keeping these realities of India in mind and also the fact that India is the world's largest tech talent hub, the ask was to create a platform that builds affinity towards Samsung's key pillars: tech-based solutions and innovations.
Idea
A Reality Show today that could fix the reality tomorrow: Solve for Tomorrow. This initiative gave a platform to the brilliant but untapped talent-pool of the world’s biggest tech hub – India. And asked young minds to come up with tech-based solutions to existing problems. Just like the brand, Samsung.
We announced the show via social
We hand-picked a panel of judges
We auditioned the best of the best
We shortlisted the top 10, then top 5, and then the top 3
We streamed this on OTT channels
We aired this on national television
We turned the top 3 ideas into successful start-ups
Strategy
We coupled the one thing that Samsung, as a brand, and India, as a country have in common: tech-based solutions today for a better tomorrow. We initiated a REALITY SHOW THAT FIXES REALITY TOMORROW. To achieve this, we invited young minds from the country to come up with ideas and tech-based solutions today for a better tomorrow. Additionally, to build a strong youth connect, we made problem-solving fun (as an entertaining reality show) no matter how serious the problems.
