USING THE BRAND TARGET WITH 3RD PARTY GSI RETAIL

The brand target and product segment may be used together to develop the overall creative vision. The brand target can drive the overall tone, look and feel, while the product segment impacts the specific messaging.
Retail strategy
Product segment
Signage and tone & manner brand elements should be driven by the YMC regardless of segment when there is high overlap. For merchandising, sales training, and promotional strategies and other highly focused sales activities it is appropriate for the product segment to be the primarily focus as ultimately the products for sale are designed to be purchased by a specific product segment.
Promotional strategies
Because product features are specifically designed to appeal to particular product segments, the message should directly target the respective product segments.
Rationale The retail strategy should be driven by the business target, which represents the specific customers likely to purchase the product.
Sales training
We recommend that design, experience and service elements revolve around the YMC
For the most efficient spend, media buying should focus on the product target or a particular offering.

Maybe home is New York, or perhaps it’s London, Shanghai or Seoul. Wherever it is, you work toward a better life, because you know how fast the world is changing. You’re eager to embrace this change, but it isn’t always easy because with it comes uncertainty and a bit of anxiety. Yet you’re quick to take on this challenge, as you’re the kind of person who sees how bright the future can really be with the power of technology. That is why people so often seek your advice and study your lead.

PAVING ROADS LESS TRAVELED In our early years of expanding manufacturing facilities in developing nations, the need for passion and optimism was especially high. During one remote project, a team of Samsung workers faced transporting heavy, fragile semiconductor machinery from one area to another miles away.
But with no paved road between the locations, the dirt roads posed a hazard to the fragile semiconductor machines.

THE NEW POSSIBILITIES OF TOMORROW Our famous VIP Center is a powerful incubator of innovation and design. This complex features 42 dorm rooms, a gym, sauna and dedicated kitchen facilities. But most of all, it inspires some of the brightest minds of Samsung to collaborate for the benefit of our most forward-thinking customers.
To spend several weeks at a time pursuing breakthroughs is not easy duty, but through it we drive a better tomorrow by enriching our customer’s lives.
The VIP center created innovations that delight customers with their ease-of-use and value.
A force of Samsung workers surveyed the route and literally within hours was mixing tar to pave the road as they traveled in advance of the machiner y.
The team on the ground looked beyond the problem to see the possibility.
Like the company’s ultra-slim, LED flat-screen TVs that pushed the limits of picture quality, use less energy, and allow users to receive content from online sources and deliver real digital convergence. Like digital SLR cameras that produce sharp and steady images with intense colors even in bad weather. And even electric ranges and other appliances that help transform kitchens and other parts of the home into technologically efficient and attractive rooms.
Section by section, they displayed the confidence and determination of people who see in challenges a call for possibilities and a genuine desire to meet customer needs no matter the obstacles.

’Turn on tomorrow’ is a powerful statement designed to convey the core of our brand across ATL and online communications. “Turn on” speaks to the way we work with relentless passion and boundless optimism to ultimately turn our consumers on to a better world. “Tomorrow” represents the road we travel. Tomorrow is both a vision of future technologies and a promise of a destination that is ever-advancing.
Note: To further explain the meaning of the brand line in communications, please leverage the brand story themes as a guide for additional messaging. If you would like to use the brand line in copy, we recommend using it with the phrase “You and Samsung” immediately preceding the brand line, i.e. “You and Samsung. Turn on Tomorrow.”

WORDMARK AND BRAND LINE PLACEMENT
Always position the Samsung wordmark (and brand line where appropriate) within the layout to the corner margin of any given application. The approved placements are top left, top right, or bottom right. No other placement is acceptable. Select the approved placement area that has the least complex imagery background and the greatest amount of contrast to ensure maximum visibility for the Samsung wordmark and brand line. The minimum space for margins must always be observed when placing the wordmark. “2S” is the minimum amount of space required left and right
TOP LEFT
S E C T I O N 2 | O U R B R A N D C U E S | B R A N D G U I D E | V E R S I O N 2 . 0
of the wordmark. “S” is equal to cap-height of the Samsung logotype. Place a larger amount of space at the bottom of the wordmark and brand line whenever possible. Note: The Samsung brand line is used on ATL and online communications only. Note: Scale the size of the Samsung wordmark and brand line to meet specific application needs. For example, the size of the wordmark and brand line on OOH is proportionally larger, compared to other elements, for greater visibility.
CLEARSPACE AND MINIMUM SIZE
The Samsung wordmark is one of the company’s most precious assets. Always position it for maximum impact and give it plenty of room to “breathe” to ensure their impact and legibility.
S E C T I O N 2 | O U R B R A N D C U E S | B R A N D G U I D E | V E R S I O N 2 . 0
Whenever possible, use a larger amount of visually uninterrupted space for optimal visibility. To maintain the integrity of the brand line a minimum size has been set at 8.5 mm.
Clear space separates the wordmark (and brand line where appropriate) from other elements such as headlines, text, imagery, and the outside edges of printed materials. A minimum amount of clear space — equal to 2S — must surround the wordmark and brand line at all times.

Our palette creates a differentiating and distinct color language that evokes Samsung’s core attributes, while further building consistency and brand equity.
OUR COLOR PALETTE
• The primary colors for our brand are Samsung blue
•
Primary color must be used in all communications and can be used with neutral and/or accent colors.
•A
solid color may be used or color gradations may be created for a “soft” look and feel. See p81 for approved gradations.
PRIMARY COLOR
Our palette consists of vibrant color families that may be used as gradations or as solid colors to reinforce and complement Samsung blue.
+
NEUTRAL COLOR
+
Only one accent color or color pair may be used per application.
•
Accent color pairs are created by selecting only analogous colors within a family (i.e., colors that are next to each other).
Note: Our color palette is intended for application to typographic and graphic elements. It does not limit the selection of color within photography.

White may be used with any approved color or color combination when required for sufficient contrast.
Where? Use in combination with primary and neutral colors to draw attention to important content or to reflect product personality attributes.
Note: White should be used as little as possible with a purposeful and thoughtful approach.

Use interesting camera angles to create a dynamic presentation for all handheld products, reinforcing our imaginative brand image.

Note: When used in combination with lifestyle imagery (e.g., in an advertisement), product-only images should be silhouetted to remove the drop shadow.
DO NOT use images of products with overly dramatic lighting, that are too severely angled or distorted, or with a harsh drop shadow or reflection.
DO NOT use models who appear boring or plain or too pretty. They should not be bald or have tattoos.
