Most gamers still associate serious competition with PCs or consoles. The challenge was proving that a smartphone could deliver the same level of performance and excitement. We needed to turn a product showcase into a cultural gaming moment—one that would attract creators, fans, and competitive players while spotlighting Samsung’s newest technology.
By partnering with creators, building hype through exclusive unboxing experiences, and staging a live $100K tournament, we turned the device launch into a spectacle that invited gamers to rethink where and how they play.
🎮 217M+ total impressions worldwide 👀 102M content views across social platforms 📡 2.1M livestream views with 29M finals impressions 💬 98% positive social sentiment from the gaming community
The Gear Up Cup proved that mobile gaming isn’t a secondary platform it’s the next arena. By combining creator culture, immersive design, and live competition, the activation positioned the Galaxy S25 Ultra as a serious contender in the future of competitive gaming.
Next projects.
