Fitzrovia-based shortform and longform studio UNIT collaborated with Samsung Mobile and Monks on this surprise teaser activation in Shoreditch, London announcing the annual Galaxy Unpacked event, which took place in California on 22 January. 

Londoners were captivated as breathtaking 3D holographic images illuminated the night on a massive 65 x 50 ft transparent micro LED display bringing the world of Galaxy AI to life. A majestic blue whale appeared to glide through the sky along with displays of the shimmering northern lights, vibrant flowers blooming in a burst of colour, a footballer scoring a winning goal and concluded with lanterns casting a warm glow across the winter sky.

The spectacle encouraged people to look up from their screens, sparking global buzz as passersby shared their awe online, offering a preview of what’s to come: the next evolution of the Galaxy AI mobile experience, set to change the way people interact with the world every day.

Working with the Monks agency, the Samsung activation campaign was directed by Dean G Moore. In coordination with Production Company Brand Yew and UK Supervising Producer Jamie Miller, US Supervising Producer Chad Baron and Executive Producer Santino Sladavic, the UNIT team worked closely in bringing their expertise in Colour, Online / VFX, and Sound to the project, showcasing their commitment to delivering top-tier creative solutions.
