Representing
Samsung Electronics
at B2B Events


In September 2013, Samsung Electronics hosted its annual Partner Day: a high-profile gathering of key partners. I had only joined the company in June, yet just a few weeks later, I was tasked in coop with Tom Haezaert and Erik Sopracasa with delivering this B2B presentation. It was an opportunity to make a strong impression, both for Samsung and for myself in a brand-new role.

CHALLENGES

The event needed more than a standard corporate presentation. With limited preparation time, the challenge was to create something that would not only showcase Samsung’s large display solutions, but also stand out from years of conventional, static decks. The presentation had to spark curiosity, hold attention, and leave partners talking long after the event ended, all while aligning with Samsung’s strategic objectives.

I reached out to Nicolas Monnoyer from creative agency BIG BAD WOLF, who brought Jonathan Nyst and Jérôme Salavert into the project. Together, we developed a 3D interactive presentation built from scratch, inspired by Prezi, but able to run independently. This was more than a set of slides; it was a dynamic, visual narrative that moved seamlessly from concept to product, illustrating the possibilities of Samsung’s videowall & touch technology in a way that felt immersive and modern.

On the day of the event, I represented Samsung as the senior marketing presence on site. Beyond delivering the B2B keynote, I engaged directly with partners throughout the day, answering questions, building relationships, and gathering market insights that would later feed back into marketing and sales planning.

RESULT

The presentation became one of the most talked-about moments of the event. Partners commented on the fresh, interactive format and how it made the technology feel more tangible. The event strengthened Samsung’s image as an innovative leader in the B2B display space, reinforced key partner relationships, and provided actionable insights for follow-up campaigns. For me personally, it was a defining moment: proof that high-stakes opportunities can be turned into strategic wins with the right mix of creativity and execution.

B2B Event Representation: More Than Just Speaking

Here’s what “representing your brand at events” actually means when done right:
- 🎤 Speaking with clarity: Not over-polished slides, but memorable, relevant messages that buyers recall post-event.
- 🧭 Navigating complexity: From vendor lock-in discussions to EU data regulations, these conversations often go deeper than surface-level demos.
- 🔄 Building trust loops: A handshake from someone with deep product knowledge and strategic insight carries 10x the weight of a brochure.

Can Smaller Teams or Scale-Ups Do the Same?

 Absolutely, and I’ve since done the same for firms like Destiny, Altran, and others. Whether as a Fractional CMO or interim advisor, I guide companies to:
- Turn one event into a six-month content engine
- Empower leadership to become visible voices
- Align field insights with boardroom strategy

Final Thought: Representation Is Not Delegation

So here’s my challenge to you, whether you lead marketing for a SaaS scale-up or an industrial powerhouse:

Are you showing up as the face of your brand or just shipping roll-up banners?

 Because in B2B, who shows up matters as much as what you show.
And if you need a partner who doesn’t just advise from the sidelines, but steps onto the floor with you?
You know where to find me.
