Manchester City’s Egyptian footballer Omar Marmoush and top-charting rapper and trap artist Wegz add a touch of 'smart' stardom to the Samsung campaign.For the latest Samsung campaign titled ‘Samsung Galaxy A Series… How Smart?!’ rolled out in July 2025, DDB Egypt has brought together two icons from the footballing and music industries to highlight the various forms of ‘intelligence’ – both in and out of the spotlight – and how ‘smart’ gets even smarter when powered by the Galaxy A Series.
Manchester City’s Egyptian footballer Omar Marmoush and top-charting rapper and trap artist Wegz add a touch of ‘smart’ stardom to the Samsung campaign, proving that being smart goes beyond one definition, whether on stage, on the pitch or in life.
The campaign, which is now live across digital and social platforms, was brought to life by DDB Egypt, in partnership with production agencies Good People and Ruffmercy, post-production agency Barbershop, as well as Snap Arts, The Garage Studios and the Wegz team.
At the heart of the campaign is an exclusive track by Wegz that emphasises how to stand out through the power of smart choices.
Footballer Marmoush and rapper Wegz are seen using the Samsung Galaxy Series A, showcasing how Samsung, Wegz, and Marmoush are smart in different ways but even smarter together thanks to the Series A’s standout AI-powered tools.
“Our goal was to highlight the intelligence built into the Galaxy A Series through real, relatable talent,” said DDB Egypt’s Associate Creative Director, Gihad Mansour.
“Marmoush and Wegz each bring their own form of intelligence, and the Galaxy A Series brings it all together,” Mansour added.
The campaign intended to redefine what it means to be “smart,” showing that intelligence has many forms, including emotional, athletic, creative, technological and more. It aims to demonstrate that no matter what type of intelligence people have, Samsung’s AI tools are here to support it.
“People are smart in different ways, hence every individual looks for tools that help them shine in their chosen path. Our goal was to show how Samsung brings all of that together,” Gihad added. “That insight led to the campaign’s Arabic tagline: ‘Shoft el zaka2?’ [Did you see the smartness?]”
From intelligent photo editing to smart suggestions and productivity features, the Galaxy A Series is highlighted as the phone for every kind of smart.
