SAMSONITE CONCEPT
DESIGNED
TO BE UNPACKED.
A campaign concept that re-imagines the value of suitcases.
01
The Observation
Suitcases spend surprisingly little of their lives travelling.
​
Most of the year they're tucked beneath beds, stacked in wardrobes or waiting quietly in spare rooms. People use them to hold winter clothes, family keepsakes and the things we don't need every day.
​
The category only talks about the trip, and ignores where the product actually lives.
02
The PROBLEM
Suitcase marketing feels like one big missed opportunity.
​
If companies are only allowing themselves to recognise the time that a suitcase spends being used for its primary purpose, they're ignoring around 90% of the product's life cycle. Suitcases are used more at home than they are anywhere else, but marketing material never communicates that.
03
Strategic idea
Reframe suitcase marketing to represent the time that they spend at home.
​
People are going to buy suitcases when they need them. Customers don't need another suitcase company promising features that should already be a standard.
​
The category is ripe for disruption.
04
campaign platform
Designed to be Unpacked is a campaign platform built around the overlooked life of the suitcase after the journey ends.
Rather than focusing on travel, it celebrates the product's everyday role within the home—storing, protecting and organising the things that matter. By recognising this hidden value, Samsonite can occupy a more distinctive position in a category defined almost entirely by destinations.

WHY IT MATTERS
When Samsonite owns moments outside of the expected product life cycle, they own more of their customers attention.
​
We're not talking about a small fraction of uncharted territory here. Instead we're looking at claiming a majority percentage of product utility that everybody else seems to be ignoring. Sure, people might not buy a suitcase for storage - but they might buy from a suitcase company that says what others won't.
