Will Hodge

Juliana
Paracencio

Executive Creative
Director

Juliana Paracencio

What fuels my creativity:Moving has been my way of staying creative. I've lived in five countries (Brazil, Germany, the Middle East, Spain, the UK) and I treat comfort as a warning sign, so relocating resets my ability to notice what locals overlook. London is the exception: even after years here, it keeps reinventing itself faster than I can settle in. Beyond geography, I run on pop culture, good coffee, great ideas, theatre, and music.

Juliana Paracencio

What excites me about this brief:To me, the best ideas are the ones that connect with people and change the way people look at things. Samsung has this in its DNA. I've been doing iconic work for global brands like Dove, IKEA, and Mercedes-Benz, and selfishly, as a creative, I'd love to do bold work for a brand as iconic as Samsung.

Juliana Paracencio

Favourite Galaxy S feature:Nightography. The weirdest, funniest and most memorable moments deserve to be captured after dark.

Juliana Paracencio

Work I'm most proud of:"Courage Is Beautiful" for Dove, a global campaign running in more than 15 countries, which crystalized the pandemic, putting healthcare workers on a pedestal and finally getting people to see them as heroes.

Juliana Paracencio

Josh
Morgan

Social Lead

What fuels my creativity:Finding the pain zone! Whether it's running, or getting stuck into a complex creative challenge, the only way out is through, and that makes you think in the most weird and wonderful ways.

Josh Morgan

What excites me about this brief:We all have a phone in our pocket and that phone correlates with how we define ourselves. This is work that will be seen in the world, for a brand that informs people's identity. That is a heady combination.

Josh Morgan

Favourite Galaxy S feature:Auto Switch – I'm a tablet fiend so being able to switch between my devices quickly and seamlessly is about as good as it gets. And quite magical!?

Josh Morgan

Work I'm most proud of:Launching multiple motorbikes for Royal Enfield, and engaging with one of the most tribal and discerning fandoms, and winning them over with campaigns they actually watched and felt reflected their world. The Himalayas were great, I could have done without the altitude sickness though!

Josh Morgan

Sarah-Jane
Lowes

Social Lead

Sarah-Jane Lowes

What fuels my creativity:Running as far and as long as my body takes me while I wrestle with thoughts, ideas and galactic perspectives (fueled by a lot of bananas and potatoes).

Sarah-Jane Lowes

What excites me about this brief:How to make Samsung feel human, sensory and socially desirable for an audience who reject the performative.

Sarah-Jane Lowes

Favourite Galaxy S feature:Energy score. I run 100km a week. My energy directly impacts my training so keeping my energy up is an all-day obsession (lots and lots of snacks!).

Sarah-Jane Lowes

Work I'm most proud of:I led a global Gen-Z campaign for the IOC x Coca-Cola during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, coordinating creative and media teams across four continents and three time zones during a pandemic…all in real-time.

Sarah-Jane Lowes

Jackson
Byrne

Creative Director

What fuels my creativity:Going from “What the heck do we do?” to  “What if we did this?” with other smart people will never get old.

Jackson Byrne

What excites me about this brief:The chance to say something that really connects with hundreds of millions (billions?) of people.

Jackson Byrne

Favourite Galaxy S feature:Quick share. I love anything that makes it easier to get what's in my brain into other people's brains.

Jackson Byrne

Work I'm most proud of:Turning a viral moment in the middle of an NFL game into a new can design for Coors Light and a rallying cry for Pittsburgh Steelers fans.

Jackson Byrne

Matt
Waksman

Head Of Strategy

Matt Waksman

What fuels my creativity:The three Cs. Curiosity, community, and cruises (cruise ships are the biggest live global focus group that have ever been created!).

Matt Waksman

What excites me about this brief:This is the brief where humanity and technology meet, for the generation where it matters the most.

Matt Waksman

Favourite Galaxy S feature:Galaxy AI Live Translate. When you and your partner's family have no language in common, Live Translate is life changing.

Matt Waksman

Work I'm most proud of:Turning Lucky Saint into the UK's no.1 alcohol free beer brand with iconic beer-drinking nuns.

Matt Waksman

Dan
Roberts

Design Lead

What fuels my creativity:Good sleep, surreal chats with my kids about how they view the world and constantly asking “yeah but what if?”

Dan Roberts

What excites me about this brief:The opportunity to make a genuinely bold move. Transformation, reappraisal, reconsideration.

Dan Roberts

Favourite Galaxy S feature:AI Live Translate. Genius! Language shouldn't be a barrier to connection, creativity or opportunity.

Dan Roberts

Work I'm most proud of:The opportunity to completely reinvent the Maharishi Foundation (Transcendental Meditation), showing how the principles of consciousness can shape a modern business, brand and digital experience.

Dan Roberts

Peter
Montgomery

Production Lead

Peter Montgomery

What fuels my creativity:There's something really special about creating something as a team rather than as individuals. In production that's what excites me more than anything - bringing together a group of people, all with different skills and specialities, and making something none of us could have made alone.

Peter Montgomery

What excites me about this brief:The opportunity to work on a huge global brand is always exciting. Getting to make great work that will be seen by massive audiences is the kind of brief you want to get your hands on.

Peter Montgomery

Favourite Galaxy S feature:I love the sleep stage analytics as someone constantly short on sleep (small children) anything that helps me get better quality rest is a win!

Peter Montgomery

Work I'm most proud of:I think probably our work for Amazon Prime Video, SetApp Snake and the very first job we ever did for Rustlers.
