The objective
The Samsung Galaxy S22 – the Korean tech-giant’s latest, bleeding-edge smartphone – had been launched in Sweden, Norway and Finland just hours before by TM Roh, Samsung’s President and Head of MX Business.
Samsung wanted to use its Live Video Shopping potential to continue the momentum of the launch and further increase sales and awareness in the integral Nordic market by reaching as many people as possible.
In true Bambuser and Samsung fashion, the decision was made to provide the Nordic audience with a future-facing and exciting experience they had never seen before.

The solution
The specially-designed event was a world-first, groundbreaking livestream that blurred the lines between our reality and the metaverse, co-hosted by popular Tik-Tok creator Liam Kalevi, actor and TV presenter Malin Falk Gramer and – to the amazement of everyone involved – virtual influencer Zero.
For the first time, Live Video Shopping stepped into the Metaverse as Bambuser’s technology empowered the show with shoppable capabilities, allowing viewers to exclusively buy the Galaxy S22 in-stream and receive a free tech bundle including the Galaxy Buds Pro worth 5,600 SEK ($600 / £445).
The livestream was broadcast not only on Samsung’s native Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish sites, but also simultaneously on social platforms Facebook and YouTube and the sites of two leading Swedish news companies, Aftonbladet and Feber.
