Huawei Device USA Unveils "Access Smarter" Campaign at Taste of Chicago

CHICAGO, July 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aimed to bolster consumer awareness in the United States, Huawei Device USA ("Huawei") today introduced the company's first experiential campaign at the world's largest food festival – Taste of Chicago. Now in its 32nd year, the nation's premier outdoor food festival will take place at Grant Park in Chicago from July 11 to 15. Huawei's campaign will center on the theme of "Access Smarter" to provide access to smarter realities for everyone – providing the devices, at the right price points and accessibility that enable and releases the smart in everyone.

"At Huawei, our goal is to provide higher quality experiences on approachable smartphones, giving the consumer better, easier access to connect and obtain information than ever before," said Michael Chuang, Executive Vice President at Huawei Device USA. "Our presence at Taste of Chicago is further evidence of our commitment to connecting our innovative devices with U.S. consumers and enhancing their awareness of Huawei."

Supported by global brand experience agency Jack Morton and Austin-based creative firm Proof Advertising, the campaign includes four elements:

• An online competition where people can share what they would like to be able to do on a smartphone. The competition will run through August 3, 2012, and four winners will be chosen at the end to enjoy an amazing experience (which will be unveiled on August 6). The winners will also be given a Huawei device to document the experience and share with the rest of Huawei's community online. More information on the online competition can be found at http://www.AccessSmarter.com/.
• The launch of social media channels on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Using these new social media channels will allow Huawei to more easily and quickly provide consumers with company news, product launches and important updates.
