Make It Your Own: Samsung Brings #YouMake to Singapore

Consumers can personalise their Samsung devices with custom designs and connected experiences

Singapore, 14 July 2022 — Samsung Electronics Singapore today announced the launch of #YouMake, a campaign that empowers consumers to personalise their Samsung devices across its mobile, home appliances and TV line-up.

Consumers can look forward to customising their Galaxy S22 series 5G smartphones, Galaxy Tab S8 tablets, Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, as well as BESPOKE refrigerators with one-of-a-kind designs¹ by local artists and designers via #YouMake.

“Technology and innovation are powerful enablers in daily life. Beyond functionalities, we know that our consumers also want the seamless connection of the devices and appliances they own. #YouMake allows consumers to express their individuality with our products – be it by personalising the aesthetics of the products they own or the ability to create connected experiences that meet their lifestyle needs. It is a step forward in our user-centricity approach, #YouMake your own design and experience. We hope that #YouMake is a start in making technology more personable and intuitive,” said Mark Kim, President, Samsung Electronics Singapore.

#YouMake builds upon the popularity of Samsung’s personalisation campaigns, which include BESPOKE Creators Collection and #YouMake your Galaxy ² for BESPOKE Refrigerators range and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G respectively. Both campaigns had received over thousands of contest entries, and an encouraging amount of customisation requests from existing Samsung users, which paved the way for the launch of #YouMake in Singapore.

Bespoke designs for inspired experiences

As part of the launch, Samsung Singapore has partnered with local creative studio Tell Your Children; celebrated pioneer artist Goh Beng Kwan; illustrators Grace Ciao and Michael Mindflyer, local artiste Chen Xi for Nekolour, as well as accessories brand Sidersonline for exclusive designs.

While the designs reflect differing artists’ styles and inspirations, they all carry the common thread of spreading positivity through their artwork.

Emotions, regardless of whether positive or negative, are part of the ‘gems’ that make up our life’s journey.
