Discover new friends through likes
Samsung GALAXY S4 campaign connects people through shared interests
Turning strangers into friends
The campaign allows people to compare their Facebook likes to everyone else’s. It gives users interesting insights into their current friend base and allows them to discover new friends as well. Because there’s nothing like shared interests to spark relationships.
“Connectivity is evolving at the speed of light. New friendships are already being founded based on shared interests through social media. And Facebook remains the medium where everyone shares their interests by liking content.”, says Jesse Ridder, creative at Energize Amsterdam.
How it works
Users connect their Facebook account to Likecompanions.com. Here, their likes are compared to those of friends and to the likes of everyone else entering the campaign. The people who have the most in common are shown as Like Companions. Current friends are shown instantly, whilst unfamiliar people can be greeted. As soon as someone greets back, they can see each other’s Facebook profile. It’s up to the users if this leads to new (Facebook) friendships.
Samsung Galaxy S4
Like Companions is part of the “Life Companion” introduction campaign for the Samsung GALAXY S4. The device allows people to easily connect with each other through their favorite content. For instance, users can wirelessly connect their screens and speakers to enjoy their favorite content together. Participants of the campaign have a chance to win the GALAXY S4, together with a Like Companion of their choice.
