are lots of functions in the same thing. Like Samsung phone there are several variations of
Samsung smart signage professional displays, led lights, different variants in camera.

them in some the functions (Groeger and Buttle., 2016).

Comparative study of samsung with apple and Intel Samsung and apple are the most famous
competition in the market where they have fight with the marketing strategy and new products
and innovation in marketing of new smart phones But there's a difference
between Apple and Samsung'sultra-wide-angle cameras. Samsung's offers a 123-degree field of
view, while Apple's is slightly narrower at 120 degrees. Samsung run there polcies and strategies
in the different way and apple have different way. But the Intel is not into the electronic items
like Televisions and mobiles which is the biggest advantage and also Samsung provides the
budget friendly phones in the market and here Apply goes out from the competition because
people cannot afford the iPhones because of their cost and maintenance and also the expensive
operative system i.e., MAC is not available freely which is also the major issue for the Apple and
this is the biggest advantage of Smasung.
Apple (Get A Mac) campaign
Apple launched it's first got a mac commercial in 2 may 2006. TBWA/Chiat/Day advertising
agency created the campaign. In the first year apple company has launched 19 ads (Harding,
2017). apple has established an image as a great innovator of the industry when it comes to
technology. The title of THE inncovator, apple has earned this title through it beloved products
which are sleek, clever & most visual appealing. The campaign 'Get a Mac' was one of the best
approach of company Apple to establish a brand identity & loyal following in the industry.
Market segmentation

For market segmentation apple has launched 66 campaigns continuously in one year. To distract
the public from using PC to MAC (Scott and Scott, 2016). Apple has launched the campaign in
which there were two actors are there in which one is using MAC and other one is using PC. In
the advertisement the MAC user seem to be young funny guy who always do the right things.
While on the other hand actor using PC seems to be older man who is uptight and all it cares
about work and no creativity (Venkatesh., 2015).
Target marketing
Initially this campaign of GAM was released not to target very 'tech savvy' person. The company
apple mainly targeted on the average individual who uses pc, but they not quite sure what else
they can do with the software. The company also focused on the public who has never thought of
buying the MAC before this campaign launched.
Product positioning
Before the campaign, sale of the apple seemed to be slowly decreasing (Baker and Saren, eds.,
2016). The market of the Apple was struggling to convince the audience that there product is
better than that of the other company. As apple wanted to make the people aware of the benefits
of using MAC. Apple showed their product as superior by taking the weaknesses of the PC as the
strength of the apple company. The company states that PCs are always prone to viruses and
showed the audience that they don't have such issues (Aithal and Jeevan, 2016).
Differentiation and customer-driven marketing strategy
Throughout the campaign the main message was that MAC is better computer & overall a nicer-
guy while showing PC is being arrogant, unreasonable, mean, boring and specific to work.
Moreover, the display of MAC gives the sense of energetic vibe, overall cool, humility & caring.
The most common strategy used by the apple company in the campaign was showing the product
with the theme of simplicity. Next strategy was every episode they aired, they highlighted a
specific PC they had. Another strategy used by the campaign was to highlight the problems PC
had. The strategy used by the MAC was to show that PC looks bad, mainly worse than the
company (Machado and Davim, eds., 2016). Perhaps the strategy used by apple is too able to
capture the audience and keep them interested and attentive within the complete campaign. This
ultimately increased the sales of the apple company. Apple provides the best in class
performance and quality of the phones and the latest Iphone is 11 series is the biggest
achievement of the Apple and also this company is regularly doing the expansion in the other

countries which gives the biggest hike to this company and make this company number one in
the world.
The campaign Get a Mac turned to be the great success for apple. The company was effectively
able to show that they are selling the best product in the market, the product which is more
attractive and looks cool. Thus, the campaign proved to be the extremely effective and captured
the targeted audience. And proved to be the best advertising campaign of the decade (Quelch,
2017).
