And lastly, we have improved our brand cues to present ourselves in a more globally consistent way. Our journey does not end with this guide. But rather, it is another milestone along the road. I urge each and everyone to embrace this book and become ambassadors for everything our brand represents. Together we will make Samsung a loved brand. Thank you. G.S. Choi President & CEO

OUR GLOBAL BRAND OBJECTIVES

The Samsung brand has come a long way in a short time. Our first focus was to build brand awareness worldwide. We succeeded by making Samsung one of the best–known brands in any category. In the following years, our task was to build our premium quality-to help drive preference against competing brands.

Today the Samsung brand enjoys a growing premium image that we will continue to build upon as we enter our next and most exciting phase: going from well-known to well-respected and, soon, to well-loved.

Our global brand objective: to become a loved brand.

Experiential elements

Promotional strategies

Personalized services

Sales training

In-store communications

The retail strategy should be driven by the business target, which represents the specifi c customers likely to purchase the product.

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 specifi c product segment.

Regardless of segment, the GSI experience represents the total brand. Experience, store design and merchandising should always be designed around the YMC identity.

USING THE BRAND TARGET WITH ADVERTISING/MEDIA

Creative strategy

Tone & manner

Imagery

Media buying

Media activation ideas and genre use

Product/feature messaging

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 specifi c messaging.

Tone & manner, copy and imagery all serve to create the essence of the Samsung brand in the minds of consumers and should be driven by the brand target to create a consistent feel across all products.

Because product features are specifi cally designed to appeal to particular product segments, the message should directly target the respective product segments.

For the most effi cient spend, media buying should focus on the product target or a particular offering.

Media activation ideas & genre are driven by both the brand target and the product segment. The brand target represents the most infl uential consumers, while product segment targeting directly infl uences the prospective purchasers of a particular product.

Rationale

High Overlap

Product segment

For maximum effectiveness, we recommend developing most aspects of advertising with the YMC as the primary audience and focusing media on the product segment.

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.

THE NEW POSSIBILITIES OF TOMORROW

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.

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.

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.

The VIP center created innovations that delight customers with their ease-of-use and value.

But with no paved road between the locations, the dirt roads posed a hazard to the fragile semiconductor machines.

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.

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 machinery.

The team on the ground looked beyond the problem to see the possibility. Section by section, they displayed the confi dence and determination of people who see in challenges a call for possibilities and a genuine desire to meet customer needs no matter the obstacles.

The brand story is told across all touchpoints and more broadly than advertising.

But not all touchpoints need to convey the story equally. A product advertisement may only implicitly tell the story. While online, there may be a website dedicated to just discussing the brand story. The situation depends on your region, your product, and your budget.

In our early years we faced the challenges of a war-torn Korea and a people struggling to survive. In this time of poverty and adversity the Korean people built the foundations of a national success, and a young Lee Byung-Chull opened a storefront enterprise named for three stars. There, in Daegu, Korea, inspired by a relentless passion and belief that great things were possible, Samsung was born.

WORDMARK AND BRAND LINE INTRODUCTION

56

Our Samsung wordmark is the simplest, most immediate, and most recognizable representation of our brand. Its consistent and prominent use builds upon our heritage, while projecting confi dence and energy as we move forward.

‘Turn on tomorrow’ is our brand line. It is used in combination with our wordmark on all ATL and online communications. The wordmark is used alone on all other applications.

ATL communications:

• Print advertising, • OOH • TVC

Online communications:

• Main pages• Sub-pages• Banners

Emphasis is on reinforcing a unifi ed brand message, where multiple communication objectives might live (e.g., product level advertising):

• Always in the context of promotional/benefi t messaging

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.

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 atall times.

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.

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

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 specifi c application needs. For example, the size of the wordmark and brand line on OOH is proportionally larger, compared to other elements, for greater visibility.

WORDMARK AND BRAND LINE DO NOT

The integrity of the Samsung wordmark and brand line must be respected at all times.

Please do not stretch, squeeze or otherwise morph or manipulate it. Any modifi cation of our wordmark confuses its meaning and diminishes its impact.

We never link other elements including names, logos or symbols to the Samsung wordmark and brand line. Examples of “do not’s” are shown below.

DO NOT use brand line in any color other than Samsung blue or reversed to white

DO NOT use the brand line next to the Samsung lettermark

DO NOT alter the wording of the brand line

DO NOT change the scale relationship between the wordmark and brand line

DO NOT place wordmark and brand line on busy backgrounds or backgrounds with insufficient contrast

DO NOT place wordmark and brand line in its own holding shape

DO NOT change or alter the typeface of the brand line

DO NOT position wordmark and brand line over crucial photographic details such as faces or products

OUR COLOR PALETTE

71

• The primary colors for our brand are Samsung blue and Samsung bright 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.

• 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.

Why?Provides a vibrant, passionate, and optimistic tonality when used in combination with Samsung blue.

Accent colors may be paired by selecting analogous colors within a family (i.e., colors that are next to each other). This ensures a soft and human tonality.

Where?Use in combination with primary and neutral colors to draw attention to important content or to refl ect product personality attributes.

Note: Only one accent color or color pair may be used per application (in combination with primary and neutral colors).

Do not pair colors from different color families.

Why?Builds brand recognition andconsistency.

Where?Blue is a mandatory component of all Samsung communications.

Why?Provides the opportunity for an open, modern, and premium tonality.

Where?Use in combination with primary color if desired.

White may be used with any approved color or color combination when required for suffi cient contrast.

Note: White should be used as little as possible with a purposeful and thoughtful approach.

HOW TO CREATE “SOFT” COLOR

OPTION 1 —GRADATION

OPTION 2A —FOREGROUND AND GRADATION BACKGROUNDSOFT COLOR PAIR

OPTION 2B — FOREGROUND AND SOLID COLOR BACKGROUND

OPTION 3 —TYPE AND/OR GRAPHIC ELEMENT

• Create soft color by pairing together two analogous colors within a color family (i.e., colors that are next to each other)

Note: Color pairs should only be selected from the same color family. Do not pair colors from different families. See p82 for all possible combinations.

• “Soft” color may be applied in three ways:

1. Create a gradation with two analogous colors.

2. Apply one color to a foreground element (e.g., type) a the second color to a solid or gradation background.

3. Apply one color to type or graphic element and a second to other type or graphic element.

The product is the hero. When products are as beautifully designed as ours, photography should strive to make the product itself the focus.

Extraneous elements should be kept to a minimum.

• Borrow from the tone and manner used to present luxury goods and fashion.

• Products should be positioned in ways that create kinetic energy and feel optimistic in nature.

• Products should be placed on backgrounds that enhance the beauty of the product and should not be more important than the background.

PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY COMPOSITION

Dynamic yet focused composition • Use dramatic angles to achieve a larger than

life feel.

• Products should be propped up off the surface and never lay fl at and lifeless.

• Never keep the horizon completely horizontal.

• Keep the composition clean and focused by minimal use of elements and by limiting the number of products in an image.

• Montages of macro photography with entire product may be used to achieve dramatic effects.

• When shooting multiple yet similar products it’s acceptable for some of the products to bleed out of frame.

LIFESTYLE IMAGERY

• All lifestyle imagery should capture the relentless passion to inspire and enrich lives.

• It must be spontaneous and real, not posed or contrived.

• It must have a sense of joy and invitation, not one of coolness or exclusion.

• It is never cynical or staid, but neither is it overly glossy or showy.

• It should faithfully portray the diversity of our consumers, their cultures, their passions.

• It should complement the diversity of our products in their many uses and applications.

DO NOT use images that are static in idea and execution, or ordinary.

PRODUCT-ONLY PHOTOGRAPHY

Product-only photography presents Samsung products in their most essential and purest form. The products should be shot in such a way that their most important features are clearly visible. Through a combination of soft lighting and directional spotlights, product surfaces should produce smooth, elegant refl ections; product edges and details should clearly stand out.

• Shot on white in a studio setting, product photography displays the product and just a hint of shadow to allow the product to stand out on the page.

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

• Present all large (e.g., non-handheld) products in fl at front view to align with the way they are typically viewed in real-life situations.

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 refl ection.

DO NOT present handheld products in fl at front view or large products in angled views.

IMAGERY / HOW TO PORTRAY PEOPLE

Use imagery that forms a high-level, emotional connection with our brand target the YMC and their passions. Young-minded does not translate to just young; rather, it means that regardless of age, the person has a sense of passion, imagination, and a youthful style.

People’s expressions should appear spontaneous and candid, with a sense of energy, passion, optimism, and discovery — not posed or contrived. Look for imagery that captures interesting personalities and their interaction with the environment and with others.

• Interesting personality

• Natural, authentic expression

• Young, with a sense of passion

• Older, with youthful style

DO NOT use images with models that are too highly styled, too pretentious or cold, or too posed (e.g., looking at the camera).

DO NOT use models who appear boring or plain or too pretty. They should not be bald or have tattoos.

Samsung brochure copy should always tell an engaging story that follows a consistent content structure and illustrates a way that the featured Samsung product inspires the imagination of Young-Minded Consumers. This structure is designed to simplify the development of our brochures and to ensure that all our materials support our brand pyramid and brand personality.

There are a few important content elements that all brochures must contain. Each serves a specific purpose, from inspiring the imagination and conveying key benefits to providing relevant technical details and product choices. The brochure content structure that follows outlines the key elements and describes the purpose and hierarchy of each.

Reduction of Contaminated MaterialsWe work hard to minimize the amount of waste that is discharged into the environment. A shining example of this can be found at our Cheonan factory in Korea. Our super-efficient wastewater disposal and recycling system reduces waster use and wastewater by 8 million tons year.

Construction of an Eco-parkAt the heart of the Suwon Complex site of Samsung Electronics in Korea, lies a park where you’ll find a pond created by purified wastewater. This eco-pond is home to over 30 species of plants and animals and is commonly used by scientists and students for environmental studies.

Eco-friendly Process SystemIn order to minimize the amount of waste material, we’ve developed a comprehensive eco-friendly process system that utilizes clean production technology, waste heat collection, an energy efficient management system, and an automatic environment observation network and exertion.

Ultra Slim Design and PackagingBy reducing the amount of material which goes that into our LED TV, we’re able to pro-duce a TV that’s ultra slim and requires less materials for packaging and shipping. So by cutting back on the overall material used, we’re helping to significantly decreased CO2 emissions and any other harmful byproducts.

Delivery Time Promise System Our Delivery Time Promise System (DTPS) ensures that our LED TVs get to where they need to be in a timely manner, so they spend less time on the road and more time in your home. That leads to less air pollution and a cleaner environment for everyone to enjoy.

Recyclable Packing MaterialThe packing material for our LED TV can be easily sorted for recycling. The material is made of eco-friendly materials like water ink. Besides being a healthy choice for the environment, it allows costs to be reduced by more than 20%.

HeadlineThe headline should provoke consumers to imagine how the product could inspire their own life and their own passions in believable, human terms. The headline should consist of a short phrase and, where possible, should emphasize emotional benefi ts instead of product features or technical attributes.

SubheadThe subhead should clearly describe the product featured in the brochure in a simple sentence. The offi cial product name and number should be used, and if relevant, it may be preceded with a descriptor such as “new” and/or followed by an important feature or benefi t.

Primary selling pointThe primary USP (unique selling point) is communicated in a succinct, high-level paragraph. A headline may also be used to call out the lead message. The USP should communicate how the product fulfi lls the promise of the brochure title in friendly and engaging terms. The copy should: • focus on what the product does for the

consumer, rather than just features or technological details.

• convey imaginative product design and a shared spirit of fun and possibilities.

• be as brief as possible to maximize visual impact and to allow the reader’s imagination to complete the picture.

Product highlights In support of the images highlighted on the page, brief paragraphs of copy detail the product’s most unique features, design styling or technology. This copy should clearly capture how the highlighted qualities make the Samsung product a superior choice.

Feature summaryIn support of each product’s primary selling point, a more specifi c paragraph of copy summarizes the key features and their consumer benefi ts. This copy should succinctly capture how the product enriches the way people live, work and pursue their passions.

Benefi t highlightsWhere necessary, product features may be grouped by overarching benefi t. In this case, a brief paragraph of copy should be used to describe how the set of features enriches the user’s life.

Feature descriptionProduct features should be described in very simple terms that are as easy as possible for consumers to understand. Each feature is described in a succinct sentence or two. While benefi ts may be communicated as well, the focus should be on clear description of features.

Options overviewA bold, simple question asks consumers which product confi guration best meets their needs and desires. Below, a brief paragraph helps consumers answer the question by summarizing the features and benefi ts of each major product option.

Specifi cationsA summary of the most important technical specifi cations is presented in a consistent, easy-to-read table format.

Call-to-actionBrochures end with a simple, direct call-to-action. A short sentence beginning with “To learn more about [product name]” is followed by the appropriate source for more information, such as a product website.
