Lessons
This campaign used digital channels as an effective showcase for the prod-
uct’s key features and benefits. But instead of simply posting content created
by the Pixma on product pages on the corporate website, a dedicated product
microsite and Samsung-branded social media profiles, Lean Mean Fighting
Machine went a step further to create an engaging and compelling experi-
ence driven by clever interaction between website visitors and actual content
created by the Pixon phone.
As a result the campaign did much more than simply showcase the capabilities
of the Pixon, it also created a feeling of involvement and immersion in Nick’s
28-day adventure, and by extension in the Samsung Pixon brand.
