Samsung rolls out a new campaign with Alia Bhatt for Galaxy Z Series
New Delhi: Samsung has launched a new campaign with actress Alia Bhatt for its recently-launched Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 smartphones.
Directed by ace filmmaker Abhishek Varman, the campaign film shows Alia experiencing Galaxy Z Flip4 at a carnival while discovering the versatility of FlexCam and the nightography camera feature, along with her best friend. The carnival setting is an ideal background to express oneself in myriad ways with the stylish Galaxy Z Flip4.
The #FlexEveryAngle digital film went live on Samsung’s social media channels.
“I have been using the Galaxy Z series as part of my everyday professional and personal life over the past year. I look forward to adding new editions to my style essentials. Galaxy Z Flip4 and Z Fold4 resonate with my persona and depict who I am. The unique flexcam feature in Galaxy Z Flip4 allows me to shoot videos and capture shots from different angles. I am excited to be associated again with the brand to showcase their new range of foldable phones,” Alia Bhatt said.
Over the next few months, Alia will be seen featuring in a 360-degree campaign that includes digital and outdoor activations, along with hyperlocal and data-driven videos. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning, different versions of the video using Alia and her voice will be created to serve hyperlocal markets, where young smartphone users are waiting to upgrade to foldables.
Speaking on associating with Alia Bhatt, Samsung India senior director and head of product marketing Aditya Babbar said, “We are delighted to collaborate with Alia Bhatt for the foldables for the second year as she truly embodies the attributes of Galaxy Z series. Galaxy Z Flip4 is high on style quotient and resonates with Alia’s style statement. With the launch of Galaxy Z Flip4, we look to empower our millennial and Gen Z audiences with enhanced productivity and self-expression. Using the innovative flexcam capabilities, our consumers can capture videos and photographs in angles like never before.”
Galaxy Z Flip4 builds on the success of Samsung’s iconic form factor, adding key features, including an upgraded camera experience, a larger battery and expanded customization while maintaining its ultra-compact design. Galaxy Z Fold4 opens up new possibilities for users by delivering Samsung’s most comprehensive smartphone experience to date, offering shape-shifting design, immersive and flexible displays and PC-like multitasking features, in addition to advanced camera technology and powerful processor.
