The Google-Samsung relationship has improved a great deal in recent years with the latter often appearing at the former’s keynotes, while there have been joint ad campaigns. The latest highlights a slew of Google services running on Samsung hardware.
Update 7/14: The Google and Samsung #MakeItEpic campaign continues with a new ad today that highlights the same things: Samsung phones, Hum to Search in the Google app, YouTube, Casting to a television, and Assistant on the Galaxy Watch 4. They are clearly trying to capitalize on an element of nostalgia.
Update 7/7: Google posted the 30-second ad on Instagram (via Android’s account) today. The song being hummed and Casted is “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” by the Backstreet Boys.
Original 7/3: It starts with somebody at a dinner party using the Google app’s Hum to Search capability to find a song stuck in their head. Once identified by Google Search, it’s sent to a nearby Samsung television. After more examples and “Make it epic” tagline, the video ends by identifying the Galaxy S22 Ultra and Galaxy Watch 4 with Google Assistant.
Besides online, we’ve seen this Google-Samsung ad play in a theater before a movie. Many of the integrations are fairly obvious, but the promo for Hum to Search and the fairly new Google Assistant on the Galaxy Watch 4 does help raise awareness.
Meanwhile, there’s a website accompanying this campaign: samsung.withgoogle.com.
