Build upa fresh restartfor Samsung’s

brand image

Objective

Re give a positive image to Samsung Smartphones to make consumers forget the recent incidents.

What are the challenges present and opportunities available?→ Challenges:

- More and more quality is expected by the customers as some “small” brands such as Huawei are growing fast and offering rather good quality smartphones for a lower price

- Reassure the customers on the fact that the Galaxy Note 7 episode was just an accident that will not be reproduced

- Comfort Samsung’s leader place on the smartphones market

→ Opportunities:

- Growth of the tablet market- Very strong demand for smartphones, more and more used as real alternatives to computers (+/- 90% of

phones sold in France are smartphones)

Reference market

Focus on a social dimension in order to promote the “Siri like assistant”

Samsung Galaxy S8 phone as a brand
