Dear Samsung colleagues, Our goal has always been to become a loved brand. A brand that inspires consumers and truly reflects our passion as a company. To accomplish this goal, we started down a path to review and refine our brand strategy this year. And today, we introduce the new Samsung Brand Guide as a culmination of these efforts. I am pleased to present several significant enhancements that will help build our brand. We have crystallized our brand story and revised our brand pyramid to better convey our core essence and authentic character. We have developed a brand line to communicate who we are and what we deliver as Samsung. We have clarified the definition of our brand target to create a more powerful emotional connection. And lastly, we have improved our brand cues to present ourselves in a more globally consistent way.

These guidelines are the product of a collaborative effort across every Samsung strategic business group, key function and regional operation, including the Samsung Global Marketing Operations, Brand Council, and Brand Advisory Group.

Our journey does not end with this guide. But rather, it is another milestone along the road. I urge each and everyone to embrace this book and become ambassadors for everything our brand represents. Together we will make Samsung a loved brand. Thank you.

For maximum effectiveness, we recommend developing most aspects of advertising with the YMC as the primary audience and focusing media on the product segment.

High Overlap Advertising/media

Creative strategy

Brand targets

Product segment

Imagery Product/feature messaging

Media buying

USING THE BRAND TARGET WITH 3RD PARTY GSI RETAIL To ensure brand consistency across retailers, we recommend that retail focus on product segment at the moment of purchase, with the tone and manner of the communications driven by the YMC.

High Overlap

Rationale

Third-party retail

The brand target and product segment may be used together to develop the overall creative vision. The brand target can drive the overall tone, look and feel, while the product segment impacts the specific messaging.

Retail strategy

Product segment

Signage and tone & manner brand elements should be driven by the YMC regardless of segment when there is high overlap. For merchandising, sales training, and promotional strategies and other highly focused sales activities it is appropriate for the product segment to be the primarily focus as ultimately the products for sale are designed to be purchased by a specific product segment.

Promotional strategies

Because product features are specifically designed to appeal to particular product segments, the message should directly target the respective product segments.

Rationale The retail strategy should be driven by the business target, which represents the specific customers likely to purchase the product.

Sales training

Tone & manner, copy and imagery all serve to create the essence of the Samsung brand in the minds of consumers and should be driven by the brand target to create a consistent feel across all products.

We recommend that design, experience and service elements revolve around the YMC

For the most efficient spend, media buying should focus on the product target or a particular offering.

USING THE BRAND TARGET WITH ADVERTISING/MEDIA

Rationale

Design

Media activation ideas & genre are driven by both the brand target and the product segment. The brand target represents the most influential consumers, while product segment targeting directly influences the prospective purchasers of a particular product.

Experiential elements In-store communications

Regardless of segment, the GSI experience represents the total brand. Experience, store design and merchandising should always be designed around the YMC identity.

Personalized services

The brand story explains the fundamental character of the brand in a compelling way and, by developing an authentic and human identity by creating an emotional reason to believe in the brand.

That is why people so often seek your advice and study your lead.

Relentlessly pursuing a better tomorrow

It’s why our advances give you not only the latest choices, but also the confidence that, in Samsung, you’ve made the best of choices. You and Samsung. ”Turn on tomorrow“

Relentlessly pursuing a better tomorrow

PAVING ROADS LESS TRAVELED In our early years of expanding manufacturing facilities in developing nations, the need for passion and optimism was especially high. During one remote project, a team of Samsung workers faced transporting heavy, fragile semiconductor machinery from one area to another miles away.

SECTION 1 | OUR BRAND STRATEGY | BRAND GUIDE | VERSION 2.0

HOW OUR STORIES COME ALIVE

THE NEW POSSIBILITIES OF TOMORROW Our famous VIP Center is a powerful incubator of innovation and design. This complex features 42 dorm rooms, a gym, sauna and dedicated kitchen facilities. But most of all, it inspires some of the brightest minds of Samsung to collaborate for the benefit of our most forward-thinking customers.

But with no paved road between the locations, the dirt roads posed a hazard to the fragile semiconductor machines.

To spend several weeks at a time pursuing breakthroughs is not easy duty, but through it we drive a better tomorrow by enriching our customerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives.

The VIP center created innovations that delight customers with their ease-of-use and value.

A force of Samsung workers surveyed the route and literally within hours was mixing tar to pave the road as they traveled in advance of the machinery.

The team on the ground looked beyond the problem to see the possibility.

Like the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ultra-slim, LED flat-screen TVs that pushed the limits of picture quality, use less energy, and allow users to receive content from online sources and deliver real digital convergence. Like digital SLR cameras that produce sharp and steady images with intense colors even in bad weather. And even electric ranges and other appliances that help transform kitchens and other parts of the home into technologically efficient and attractive rooms.

Section by section, they displayed the confidence and determination of people who see in challenges a call for possibilities and a genuine desire to meet customer needs no matter the obstacles.

Our brand story is a story that we want to spread.

HOW DO WE USE THE STORY?

The brand story is told across all touchpoints and more broadly than advertising. GSI POS

BRAND B STORY

THIS DIVERSE TEAM MEETS AT THE FAMED “VIP CENTER” - A VIRTUAL AROUND-THE-CLOCK ASSEMBLY LINE FOR IDEAS.

In our early years we faced the challenges of a war-torn Korea and a people struggling to survive. In this time of poverty and adversity the Korean people built the foundations of a national success, and a young Lee Byung-Chull opened a storefront enterprise named for three stars. There, in Daegu, Korea, inspired by a relentless passion and belief that great things were possible, Samsung was born. VERSION 1.0

OUR STORY BEGINS ON A RUGGED ROAD OUR FOUNDING PHILOSOPHY

“It is undeniable that the future of a company, or a nation for that matter, relies on human resources. This has always been the guiding principle of Samsung. As long as Samsung places the utmost emphasis on developing our employees, it will be able to look forward to a bright and stable future.“

Always position the Samsung wordmark and brand line within the layout to the corner margin of any given application. The approved placements are top left, top right, or bottom right. No other placement is acceptable. Select the approved placement area that has the least complex imagery background and the greatest amount of contrast to ensure maximum visibility for the Samsung wordmark and brand line.

TOP LEFT

The minimum space for margins must always be observed when placing the wordmark. “2S” is the minimum amount of space required left and right of the wordmark. “S” is equal to cap-height of the Samsung logotype. Place a larger amount of space at the bottom of the wordmark and brand line whenever possible. Note: Scale the size of the Samsung wordmark and brand line to meet specific application needs. For example, the size of the wordmark and brand line on OOH is proportionally larger, compared to other elements, for greater visibility.

CLEARSPACE AND MINIMUM SIZE

The Samsung wordmark and brand line is one of the company’s most precious assets. Always position them for maximum impact and give them plenty of room to “breathe” to ensure their impact and legibility.

Whenever possible, use a larger amount of visually uninterrupted space for optimal visibility. To maintain the integrity of the brand line a minimum size has been set at 8.5 mm.

Clear space separates the wordmark from other elements such as headlines, text, imagery, and the outside edges of printed materials. A minimum amount of clear space — equal to 2S — must surround the wordmark and brand line at all times.

TYPOGRAPHY INTRODUCTION

PRIMARY TYPEFACE

Our typeface, Samsung Imagination Modern, is strong, yet modern, and will help reinforce our unique brand personality. This typeface should be used across all communications.

Additions to current font suite include Samsung Imagination Modern Extra Bold and Samsung Imagination Modern Extra Bold Condensed - each maintains character integrity and personality for greater flexibility of application across varied media.

SAMSUNG IMAGINATION MODERN FONT SUITE

For body copy and functional requirements Helvetica Neue is Samsung’s secondary typeface and may be used where readability is a concern, such as for large amounts of body copy (e.g., more than two paragraphs) and small type sizes (e.g., legal copy).

For desktop and online Arial should be used for desktop applications in a nongraphic artwork environment such as live text in Web sites, and Microsoft Word® and PowerPoint® documents. Samsung Imagination Modern and Helvetica Neue should be used for graphics and banners in web portals, microsites, and other desktop-based environments.

Our palette creates a differentiating and distinct color language that evokes Samsung’s core attributes, while further building consistency and brand equity.

OUR COLOR PALETTE

• The

•

primary colors for our brand are Samsung blue and Samsung bright blue.

•

Primary color must be used in all communications and can be used with neutral and/or accent colors.

• Accent

• A solid

color may be used or color gradations may be created for a “soft” look and feel. See p81 for approved gradations.

PRIMARY COLOR

Our palette consists of vibrant color families that may be used as gradations or as solid colors to reinforce and complement Samsung blue.

NEUTRAL COLOR

Only one accent color or color pair may be used per application. color pairs are created by selecting only analogous colors within a family (i.e., colors that are next to each other).

Note: Our color palette is intended for application to typographic and graphic elements. It does not limit the selection of color within photography.

Why? Builds brand recognition and consistency.

Why? Provides the opportunity for an open, modern, and premium tonality.

Why? Provides a vibrant, passionate, and optimistic tonality when used in combination with Samsung blue.

Where? Use in combination with primary color if desired.

Accent colors may be paired by selecting analogous colors within a family (i.e., colors that are next to each other). This ensures a soft and human tonality.

White may be used with any approved color or color combination when required for sufficient contrast.

Where? Use in combination with primary and neutral colors to draw attention to important content or to reflect product personality attributes.

Note: White should be used as little as possible with a purposeful and thoughtful approach.

Note: Only one accent color or color pair may be used per application (in combination with primary and neutral colors).

Where? Blue is a mandatory component of all Samsung communications.

COLOR INTRODUCTION

Red family

Green family

Do not pair colors from different color families.

•

It is important that we reinforce the use of Samsung blue across all of our communications in order to build color equity around our master brand and differentiate our communications from our competitors.

Note: If an application is comprised of multiple pieces or facets (e.g., side of packaging), Samsung blue may be applied to those components. The minimum use of Samsung blue must be used in every application by one or a combination of the below: wordmark + blue graphic element • wordmark + blue type • wordmark + blue photography • wordmark + blue background

HOW TO CREATE “SOFT” COLOR

•

Create soft color by pairing together two analogous colors within a color family (i.e., colors that are next to each other)

• “Soft” color

Note: Color pairs should only be selected from the same color family. Do not pair colors from different families. See p82 for all possible combinations.

WORDMARK + BLUE TYPE

WORDMARK + BLUE PHOTOGRAPHY

WORDMARK + BLUE BACKGROUND

may be applied in three ways:

1. Create a gradation with two analogous colors. 2. Apply one color to a foreground element (e.g., type) a the second color to a solid or gradation background. 3. Apply one color to type or graphic element and a second to other type or graphic element.

PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE INTRODUCTION

PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY IS THE HERO

The product is the hero. When products are as beautifully designed as ours, photography should strive to make the product itself the focus.

Products should be placed on backgrounds that enhance the beauty of the product and should not be more important than the background.

Extraneous elements should be kept to a minimum. •

Borrow from the tone and manner used to present luxury goods and fashion.

•

Products should be positioned in ways that create kinetic energy and feel optimistic in nature.

Examples for illustrative purposes only.

103

Dynamic yet focused composition • Use dramatic angles to achieve a larger than life feel. •

Products should be propped up off the surface and never lay flat and lifeless.

•

Never keep the horizon completely horizontal.

•

Keep the composition clean and focused by minimal use of elements and by limiting the number of products in an image.

•

Montages of macro photography with entire product may be used to achieve dramatic effects.

Eco-innovation

Samsung LED TV Series 7 7000 (North America)

Reduction of Contaminated Materials We work hard to minimize the amount of waste that is discharged into the environment. A shining example of this can be found at our Cheonan factory in Korea. Our super-efficient wastewater disposal and recycling system reduces waster use and wastewater by 8 million tons year.

Construction of an Eco-park At the heart of the Suwon Complex site of Samsung Electronics in Korea, lies a park where you’ll find a pond created by purified wastewater. This eco-pond is home to over 30 species of plants and animals and is commonly used by scientists and students for environmental studies.

Eco-friendly Process System In order to minimize the amount of waste material, we’ve developed a comprehensive eco-friendly process system that utilizes clean production technology, waste heat collection, an energy efficient management system, and an automatic environment observation network and exertion.

Ultra Slim Design and Packaging By reducing the amount of material which goes that into our LED TV, we’re able to produce a TV that’s ultra slim and requires less materials for packaging and shipping. So by cutting back on the overall material used, we’re helping to significantly decreased CO2 emissions and any other harmful byproducts.

Delivery Time Promise System Our Delivery Time Promise System (DTPS) ensures that our LED TVs get to where they need to be in a timely manner, so they spend less time on the road and more time in your home. That leads to less air pollution and a cleaner environment for everyone to enjoy.

Recyclable Packing Material

15mm

Examples for illustrative purposes only.

The packing material for our LED TV can be easily sorted for recycling. The material is made of eco-friendly materials like water ink. Besides being a healthy choice for the environment, it allows costs to be reduced by more than 20%.

Content structure Headline The headline should provoke consumers to imagine how the product could inspire their own life and their own passions in believable, human terms. The headline should consist of a short phrase and, where possible, should emphasize emotional benefits instead of product features or technical attributes. Subhead The subhead should clearly describe the product featured in the brochure in a simple sentence. The official product name and number should be used, and if relevant, it may be preceded with a descriptor such as “new” and/or followed by an important feature or benefit. Primary selling point The primary USP (unique selling point) is communicated in a succinct, high-level paragraph. A headline may also be used to call out the lead message. The USP should communicate how the product fulfills the promise of the brochure title in friendly and engaging terms. The copy should: • focus on what the product does for the consumer, rather than just features or technological details. • convey imaginative product design and a shared spirit of fun and possibilities. • be as brief as possible to maximize visual impact and to allow the reader’s imagination to complete the picture. Product highlights In support of the images highlighted on the page, brief paragraphs of copy detail the product’s most unique features, design styling or technology. This copy should clearly capture how the highlighted qualities make the Samsung product a superior choice.

Feature summary In support of each product’s primary selling point, a more specific paragraph of copy summarizes the key features and their consumer benefits. This copy should succinctly capture how the product enriches the way people live, work and pursue their passions. Benefit highlights Where necessary, product features may be grouped by overarching benefit. In this case, a brief paragraph of copy should be used to describe how the set of features enriches the user’s life.
