Challenge
Launch a flagship phone into one of the most competitive categories there is. Samsung needed awareness for the S25, new customers in its Brand Store, and proof that live shopping could work in Europe.
Insight
European shoppers want to experience products, not just read about them. Live video gives tech buyers the demo, the expert and the conversation, all on the page where they buy.
Idea
Turn a phone launch into a live show unboxing you can shop.
Moyo Ajibade and Gee Nelly joined Team Galaxy expert Luke Norbury to put the Galaxy S25 Ultra through its paces, live on Amazon. Features shown, not told.
Viewers asked questions in chat and the hosts answered on air. Every featured product sat one tap away in a carousel under the stream, with widgets redesigned in Samsung's brand identity.
It was the first Amazon Live in Europe, and the template for advertisers to follow on Amazon.
Impact
22.3K visitors on day one, 20.2K new to store
25.3K page views during the live event
52 seconds average dwell time per viewer
32% of campaign sales influenced by Amazon Live
