BBH London chief creative officer Ian Heartfield said: “For many consumers smart devices and the internet of things can seem like a complicated concept. It can be difficult for them to see what these devices can do and how they can all work together to benefit them.

“This need to bring it all to life for consumers is why we developed Doorways. Harnessing AR and the wit of Family Guy gives Samsung a unique solution to a complex challenge.”
