Samsung is offering an all-access
behind the scenes series pass
AUCKLAND,
New Zealand – 18th April, 2013 – Samsung New
Zealand is the proud technology partner of the début New
Zealand series of The X Factor. To celebrate the partnership
and the launch of the show, Samsung is offering one fan an
exclusive opportunity to become an insider on The X Factor
New Zealand.
The “Samsung Insider” gets an
all-access backstage pass to witness the behind-the-scenes
action on the set of the hit TV3 reality show. The Samsung
Insider will host online video blogs from behind the scenes,
showcasing all the action as it unfolds. All will be
captured on latest Samsung products (Galaxy Camera, Galaxy
Note II & Galaxy Note 10.1) which will also be used by
contestants and judges throughout the show.
Mike
Cornwell, Marketing Director at Samsung New Zealand, says
the company is thrilled to be a part of The X Factor and the
search for the best talent in New Zealand.
“Samsung continually strives to be the best in
what we do, so we’re really excited to be a part of the
search to find the best New Zealand musical talent,” says
Mike. “It is the biggest reality show on the planet and we
are fully integrated into the show with the Samsung Insider
that gives us engaging stories that you would not normally
see.
“The Samsung Insider initiative is a great
platform to involve one lucky fan in the search. Plus, we
know this is an experience a lot of viewers will want to
share, so we’re arming our Insider with the latest Samsung
technology and devices so he or she can capture and reveal
the action backstage.
“Viewers will also see how
contestants and judges are using Samsung devices to help get
them through the audition process and live performances.”
Fans can apply to become the Samsung Insider using
an exclusive application (available on Google Play and the
Samsung Apps store). Insider hopefuls can upload a 45 second
video to the app, directly from their Android mobile or
tablet detailing why they want to get behind the scenes at
The X Factor. Applications can also be made via the Samsung
Facebook page, with more details available at
tv3.co.nz.
The top five Insider finalists then meet
in Auckland in May where a winner will be selected after a
live studio screening audition at TV3 with The X Factor
producers and show host Dominic Bowden .
The first
episode of The X Factor NZ will premiere on Sunday 21st
April (7pm) with the second episode screening Monday 22nd
April (7:30pm) on
