Bangkok, Thailand – Samsung in Thailand has launched a delightful twist for influencer marketing-centric campaign for its Samsung WindFree™ Air Conditioners product lineup–with a grandmother being the surprising star of this campaign.
Dubbed the ‘Grandma-fluencer’ campaign, the campaign was conceptualised alongside BBDO Bangkok, and focuses on the challenge that while Samsung shines globally across various tech sectors, its air conditioner segment in Thailand faces the tough task of overcoming years of scepticism, especially among the vibrant youth of Gen Millennials and Gen Z.
The humorous online film for the campaign stars the grandmother of a popular Thai influencer, who dives into the world of air conditioning with effortless ease and a touch of mischief. Equipped with a knack for tech lingo and a smile that lights up the screen, she serves as an engaging and persuasive showcase of Samsung’s innovation.
Thasorn Boonyanate (Pete), chief creative officer at BBDO Bangkok, said, “This got us thinking: why not turn the grandmother, who rarely changes her mind, into an influencer with the mission to convince the whole family to change theirs, proving that even the most traditional-minded grandma can roll with the times.”
He also added, “By flipping the script on traditional influencer campaigns, we’re not just cooling rooms; we’re warming up to the idea that perhaps, in matters of comfort and cutting-edge tech (plus if grandma knows how to do a backflip out the window), grandma probably knows what’s best.”
