Rockstar alpacas become a global sensation thanks to a powerhouse phone from Samsung

In BBH's latest, the Galaxy Note 10 can make the impossible possible

It’s impossible to predict the next big thing, but it’s almost guaranteed to be something ridiculous. So why not alpaca toupées? That's a question answered by a playfully absurdist new campaign for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 smartphone from BBH New York.

A woman's chance encounter with the beautiful (and admittedly silly looking) creatures during a trip to South America inspires a rash decision. An odd combination of fashion, art and animal husbandry ensues, and a global phenomenon is born.

To enable her creative vision, this enterprising artist uses all the convenient features of her phone and its stylus—taking photos, shooting video, drawing mock-ups and creating a business plan.

The 60-second spot is directed by Nicolai Fuglsig via MJZ and is set against Grandmaster Flash’s remix of the song “Apache” by Incredible Bongo Band.
