The Galaxy S10 does not only represent the 10th generation of the Samsung Galaxy range but also embodies 10 years of technological innovations. To celebrate this important anniversary, the retail launch of Samsung’s flagship smartphone had to be as innovative and premium as the product itself, placing the focus on an experiential brand activation in an exclusive retail environment.

With a running time of 7 weeks in total, the overall budget for production (and maintenance) was around 800.000k Euro with a media budget of 500.000 Euro.
