“Impulse,” from Cheil for Samsung

Last year Samsung continued working its platform “Technology with purpose” with the launch of “impulse”; Designed in collaboration with the Cheil agency. The proposal consists in the development of an application based on artificial and oriented intelligence to help people with different speech disorders, such as stuttering.

The concept of “impulse” relies on the so -called “Rhythm therapy”a logopedical technique that seeks to improve the linguistic fluidity of the brain through a subconscious compass. Thus, the application uses the Hptic metronome incorporated into the brand’s smartwatches to generate rhythmic patterns and assist users in their speech and communication.

Thanks to this and other campaigns, Samsung is part of the group of advertising companies that currently lead Spanish creativity, together with KFC, Cupra and Magnum, which stand out in a more contest for the advertising proposals offered to the market.

Innovative technology with purpose

Creativity as a lever to facilitate the lives of people was the issue that articulated the conversation held in our meeting Cannes Lions Insids last year between Alejandro Di Trolio, executive creative director in Cheil Worldwide, and Alfonso Fernández, marketing director at Samsung Spain. Both explained how to “impulse” arose, like other Samsung projects previously, from observation, the search for opportunities for make the company’s purpose come true and the rapport with its strategic creativity partner.

If you have the platform, ideas arrive, they flourish

But, as both professionals pointed out, it is not about doing creativity to do, but about carrying out viable and useful projects. In the case of Samsung the objective is to improve the quality of life through its products; Specifically, since hardware is not modifiable, through the development of software and applications whose functionality helps certain groups.
