    Two campaigns · 2025

    Galaxy S25 Ultra and Z Fold7, side by side

    Two smartphone launches, six months apart, on the same Norwegian Twitch audience. Every number below comes directly from the campaign reports.

    Campaign 1 - March to May 2025

    Galaxy S25 Ultra

    Samsung needed to reach Norwegian tech buyers who skip pre-roll and run adblock everywhere. Beta deployed animated overlay ads across 43 streamers for 56 days. The overlays rendered as OBS browser sources, completely invisible to adblock, across 74 game categories.

    Just Chatting dominated at 50.28% of all views. Verified CTR across the run was 0.76%.

    Why it worked

    500,131 completed live views from 138,633 unique viewers, with a verified CTR of 0.76%, against an audience that actively blocks conventional advertising.

    Campaign 2 - September to October 2025

    Galaxy Z Fold7

    Foldable phones require education. A viewer needs to understand the hinge, the inner display, the multitasking workflow, and why the form factor justifies the price premium. Banner ads cannot convey this.

    Beta ran two simultaneous formats: a rich media overlay inside OBS, plus a live chatbot CTA in stream chat. The run delivered 300,054 completed live views from 141,930 unique viewers.

    Why it worked

    300,054 completed live views in 31 days, with 93.05% of the audience in Norway. VOD views added 558,257+ additional impressions after the campaign ended, at zero extra cost.

    Efficiency · per streamer

    Two campaigns, two different strengths

    Fold7 was a smaller buy (28 streamers vs S25's 43), so absolute totals don't tell the whole story. Normalised per streamer, the two campaigns trade wins: Fold7 dominates reach efficiency (5,069 unique viewers per streamer vs 3,224 - a 57% advantage) while S25 leads on depth (more completed views and more watch time per streamer). Index 100 = the average of both campaigns on each metric.

    Fold7 · Micro-Influencer Effect

    Small audience.
    Enormous engagement.

    Simmlings generated 88 clicks from 746 views - an 11.80% CTR. That is 18 times the campaign verified average. The pattern held across five separate micro-influencers, confirming that community trust converts at a rate no reach-focused channel can match.

    The optimal Samsung campaign uses both tiers: large channels like Danniz (97,110 views) for brand exposure, and micro-influencers for qualified, high-intent traffic.

    Fold7 · The Long Tail

    VOD reach: the campaign that keeps running

    Twitch streams stay live as VODs after broadcast. The Fold7 campaign's top three streamers alone accumulated more VOD views than the entire live run. Samsung's creative kept generating impressions weeks after the campaign ended, at no additional cost.

    Key Takeaways

    What two campaigns prove

    Consistent audience

    Both campaigns hit the same demographic: Norwegian males 18-24, 90-93% Norway-based, desktop-first. The audience did not drift between spring and autumn.

    Just Chatting dominates

    50.28% of S25 views and 34.45% of Fold7 views from Just Chatting. Conversational content is consistently the most receptive environment for interactive CTAs.

    Micro-influencers convert

    Simmlings: 11.80% CTR from 746 views. m4r5t3in: 10.00%. The small-channel, high-trust dynamic delivers 9-18x the campaign average CTR.

    A few channels carry reach

    rubengks delivered 150,600 of the S25 Ultra's 500,131 completed views, and Danniz 97,110 of the Fold7's 300,054. Pair large channels for reach with smaller ones for engagement.

    VOD doubles reach for free

    Fold7 accumulated 558,257+ VOD views on top of 300K live. Every campaign keeps generating impressions weeks after it ends, at no extra cost.

    Zero adblock impact

    Overlays render as OBS browser sources. Both campaigns: every impression was a genuine live view. The format is structurally invisible to adblock software.

    Verified CTR (S25 Ultra)

    Streamer slots are counted per campaign - 43 streamers ran on the S25 Ultra campaign and 28 on the Z Fold7. Some creators appeared in both, so the unique-streamer count is lower than the sum.
