Samsung is trying to build up more hype ahead of Galaxy Unpacked. The marketing machine appears to be running at full throttle, and the company has just released another “Join the flip side” video ad on YouTube. It has a different tone than the first ad Samsung published last week, and it once again confirms the date of the event.
If the first “Join the flip side” ad was a 2-minute film about a group of friends being haunted by the Galaxy Z Flip's attractive image, the new ad comes in as a shorter 19-second video. In it, Samsung pushes the Corporate Memphis design language to the next level by turning the flat characters distinctive of the art style into 3D avatars. These characters pop into the frame through small windows in the Galaxy Z Flip's foldable display.
Samsung's been using the so-called Corporate Memphis art style throughout its marketing material, webpages, and One UI elements for a few years now, and the company doesn't seem to plan to stop anytime soon. Of all the big mobile brands, Samsung appears to have grown the fondest of the Corporate Memphis art style. And through this ad, Samsung gave the flat geometric characters another dimension — literally.
