SMART TV Angry Birds
On 22 September, we launched the Samsung SMART TV
Angry Birds campaign in the Netherlands and Belgium,
presenting people with the opportunity to experience the
Samsung Smart TV in an unforgettable way. Two leading
electronics stores from both countries took part in the
“Angry Birds Tournament” whereby consumers could play
the popular game in a whole new way using the SMART
TV’s Motion Control.
On 6 October the Angry Birds Tournament ended with a
thrilling finale at the Media Markt in Rotterdam (NL) and at a
Saturn retailer in Antwerp (BE). The stores were transformed
into a true arena, including a boxing ring with Samsung
Smart TV corners.
Two young players from both countries were crowned as the
first Angry Birds on Smart TV winners and each happily took
home a Samsung Smart TV.
