Samsung ties up with creative geniuses as brand ambassadors
Combined, these three features can help users raise productivity, as they have for our brand ambassadors.
The highlight of the event was the announcement of a collaboration between Samsung and these creative geniuses. In this tie-up, these brand ambassadors are challenged to address a pressing social issue pertaining to drivers observing road rules at pedestrian crossings. Through creativity, design and with the use of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A, these brand ambassadors will leverage their respective expertise and activate their ideas to encourage drivers to slow down and stop at pedestrian crossings and pedestrians to follow road rules as well.
Jowee and Mon of Team Manila
Jowee and Mon are co-founders of Team Manila, a multidisciplinary graphic design studio known for its uniquely Filipino influence. The team is the driving force behind the Graphic Designed Lifestyle, a lifestyle store selling t-shirts, bags and accessories with designs inspired by Filipino culture.
For the duo, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A is the perfect drawing board to help them grow their business—its optimized screen allows them to view designs better—and this will come in useful as they venture into more local lifestyle campaigns and reach out to more fashion-forward Filipinos.
Nix of FTA Design
Nix is the principal designer of FTA Design, editor in chief of MyHome, and owner of PhoeNix Home which offers hard-to-find, beautiful furniture pieces.
He honed his skills under interior design icon Vicente Wolf in New York. The Samsung Galaxy Tab A is Nix’s perfect mood board as he juggles between designing for FTA, editing articles for MyHome, and selecting pieces for PhoeNix Home.
To ensure he is able to manage his busy schedule, he uses the direct input schedule that enables him to easily jot down handwritten notes on the S Planner. He also relies on the full phone functionality (LTE ready) that allows him to share comments on article and design submissions by his team wherever he may be.
Reese of Rags2Riches
Reese is the president and co-founder of Rags2Riches, a social enterprise company that revolutionized marginalized women’s business practices. With her team of young professionals, she sought advice from designers, who demonstrated how rugs made by poor women could be transformed into fashion handbags, eyeglass cases and wine bottle holders, all for sale in top-end shops. For Reese, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A is a perfect planning device to activate ideas and bring them to life.
When conceptualizing ideas with designers and community leaders, she illustrates her ideas using the S Pen on the S Note, which offers improved digital handwriting experience through enhanced pressure sensitivity. Since she is always on-the-go, she loves the portability of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A that allows her to show her designs to her clients anytime and anywhere.
More information on the Samsung Galaxy Tab A collaboration with the four brand ambassadors is expected to be released this July. Having experienced the wonders of the Samsung Galaxy Tab A with S Pen, Jowee, Mon, Nix, and Reese are confident to meet the challenge of improving road conditions in the country through technology, creativity and design.
