Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra unleashes Christmas magic with AR print campaign
MUMBAI: This festive season, a little creativity can go a long way, as illustrated by a recent campaign from Samsung.
Samsung, a leading consumer electronics brand, has launched a unique initiative to highlight the sketch-to-image feature of the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, integrating traditional print media with augmented reality (AR) to captivate audiences. The campaign centres around a Christmas-themed AR game, allowing users to engage with the device’s capabilities interactively.
In the print advertisement, readers are invited to scan a QR code that activates a 3D render of the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. The experience begins with a Santa sketch that transforms into a vibrant AI-generated image, showcasing the power of the S Pen and AI tools. Participants can then guide Santa as he delivers gifts across rooftops, enhancing the festive spirit.
The sketch-to-image feature takes centre stage, illustrating its ability to convert simple doodles into detailed visuals. Whether for holiday illustrations or professional graphics, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra empowers users to express their creativity.
‘’At Samsung, innovation drives us to create magical experiences. The Sketch-to-Image feature on our Galaxy Tab S10 is a perfect example. When we envisioned the Santa AR game, we needed a tool that could bring our ideas to life seamlessly. From doodles to lifelike graphics, this feature helps transforms every concept into reality, powering the creativity behind this interactive experience. It’s not just a feature—it’s a gateway for creators, developers, and storytellers to unleash their imaginations with precision and ease. With Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Series, the possibilities are endless. What will you create next?” said Samsung India vice president, MX Business Aditya Babbar.
Cheil India CCO Vikash Chemjong the creative agency behind this campaign, “This holiday season, Cheil India partners with Galaxy Tab S10 Series to redefine how creativity meets celebration. From the groundbreaking Sketch to Image feature to the whimsical Santa AR Game, we’re blending technology with imagination, bringing festive joy to every generation. Together, we’re shaping experiences that inspire and innovate.”
As AI technology continues to evolve, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra is at the forefront, aiming to democratise advanced creative tools. With the S Pen’s precision and AI-driven enhancements, the device caters to professionals, creators, and artists alike. This campaign showcases the boundless opportunities that arise when technology and creativity intersect, paving the way for a future where artistic expression is accessible to all.

Tribes and Omnicom Media win Gold for HSBC Living Hexagon at ET Awards
Kinetic OOH installation turns HSBC’s iconic logo into a living landmark
MUMBAI: Tribes Communication and Omnicom Media have secured a Gold win at the ET Design & Creativity Awards for their innovative out-of-home installation, The Living Hexagon, created for HSBC.
Awarded in the Most Creative Traditional OOH category, the project reimagines one of the world’s most recognisable banking symbols into a dynamic, ever-evolving structure. Designed for HSBC’s International Financial Services Centre presence, the installation was conceived to do more than simply grab attention. It aimed to seamlessly blend into the fast-growing ecosystem of GIFT City.
At the heart of the idea is HSBC’s iconic hexagon, typically associated with precision and consistency. Tribes transformed this static identity into a kinetic structure that responds to natural elements such as wind and light, creating a sense of continuous motion. The result is a visual experience that shifts throughout the day, echoing themes of adaptability and momentum.
Constructed using modular triangular units arranged along a precise geometric axis, the installation moves in synchrony, giving the illusion of a fluid, living form. While the structure evolves with its surroundings, it retains the unmistakable identity of the HSBC brand, striking a balance between innovation and familiarity.
Strategically placed at a key entry point into GIFT City, the installation functions as both a landmark and a statement. It reflects the pace and dynamism of global finance while embedding the brand into the city’s architectural narrative.
With this win, Tribes Communication and Omnicom Media underline the growing role of experiential and design-led thinking in traditional media, proving that even the most established brand assets can find new life when reimagined with creativity and context.
