Pavilion KL’s ox-picious CNY stunt captures the attention of Samsung MY

Pavilion Kuala Lumpur’s Chinese New Year ad featuring a 3D Golden Bull Greeting video has brought onboard Samsung as one of its major advertisers. This is the first time Samsung is tapping on a 3D activation for its OOH advertising in Malaysia after being approached by Brandavision, and it can be safely said that the iconic Golden Bull played a role in captivating the attention of the smartphone maker.

So much so, that in Samsung’s latest ad, it pays homage to the golden bull with a businessman pausing to watch the video and capturing it on his Samsung foldable smartphone. He then showcases it to his family.
