Mix one part Pulp Fiction with one part The Toy and you’ll approach something close to Samsung’s baffling Galaxy S IV teaser.
[aditude-amp id="flyingcarpet" targeting='{"env":"staging","page_type":"article","post_id":632287,"post_type":"story","post_chan":"none","tags":null,"ai":false,"category":"none","all_categories":"business,mobile,","session":"B"}']Released today, the teaser ad features a young boy who will serve as the “secret messenger” for Samsung’s Unpacked 2013 event on March 14, where the company will unveil its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S IV.
Samsung has a history of terrible teasers, so this ad doesn’t come as a huge surprise. But I do wonder if the company will ever figure out how to leverage the organic excitement for its devices into effective marketing. The Galaxy S IV is the most anticipated Android phone of the year, and Samsung is one of the biggest smartphone makers in the world. It can do better.
