    Australian Open coverage from every angle

    Samsung utilised Nine’s Australian Open (AO) coverage to showcase the new Galaxy S21 and its features by aligning Samsung with epic moments in play and bringing the viewer closer to the action.

    The challenge

    Samsung launched its Galaxy 21 Series by embedding it into Australian culture, while creatively showcasing how it sets the bar in smartphone photographic capability.​

    The execution

    Nine’s TV coverage of the Australian Open provided the canvas for Samsung to creatively showcase its new product features. Features such the Samsung epic replays brought viewers closer to the action aligning the Samsung brand and the Galaxy S21 with memorable moments in play.

    Additional product features such as superior clarity and the ability to capture stills from video footage were demonstrated on Nine’s Wide World of Sports Fly Cam, which captured footage of the AO precinct, city skyline and outer courts.

    “Samsung's shift in consideration was directly attributable to the Australian Open property. We saw a marked increase in website visitations as well as e-commerce and people migrating over to explore and take a look at our products.”
