Acer x Samsonite: More Adventures With Technology and Travel

This summer, technology and travel goes well together as we venture into places that will excite, inspire, and sometimes makes us love. A great collaboration was sealed with Acer Philippines, a leading tech and innovations company, has collaborated with American luggage and travel bag manufacturer Samsonite for its back-to-school promo. The launch event was held last May at the Mega Fashion Hall in SM Megamall.  


Targeting the millennial generation who is often misunderstood, yet pose huge potential to change the world in the future, the #CarryOn campaign is launched as a call to enjoy life though experiences that one would encounter via travel, friends, and connections. And that's not all, the two brands has also come up with an irresistible offer bundled with a purchase of Acer Laptops.

With each purchase of selected models of Acer Laptops, one can avail of a FREE Samsonite luggage worth P15550. A great deal when buying the latest laptops from Acer which is also leading in market sales in the Philippines.  This is probably the best brand partnership for Acer  which has collaborated with other brands that rewards customers with great deals.

“If there’s one thing we’ve learned about millennials, it’s that they are very passionate individuals who are unstoppable if they are truly motivated,” shares Sue Ong-Lim, Acer Philippines’ Sales and Marketing Director. “Travel is, without a doubt, one of their strongest motivations. This is why we’ve partnered with Samsonite, a household name when it comes to travelling, to help us propel this cause forward. Hand in hand, we are hopeful that we will be able to not only motivate our millennials, but also reward them for their hard work by fueling their wanderlust.”  

The launch is also where the #CarryOn video was revealed. A heartwarming story of friends on a impulsive move to travel to Thailand. Directed by Ms. Irene Villamor, known for her works in Camp Sawi and Meet Me In St. Gallen, the film depicts how the youth turn to travelling as a way to cope and re-energize in the face of the stresses of their daily lives. The full video may be seen in the Acer Facebook Page. 

“Travel inspires a different form of education – it makes you learn about new environments, exposes you to different cultures, and gives you a clearer view of the world,” shares Ciely Buenviaje, Country Head of Samsonite Philippines. “Samsonite could not be happier to be partnering with Acer in promoting such a holistic growth for the millennial generation.” 

The Acer Philippines #CarryOn Back-to-School Promo will run until June 30, 2018, during which every purchase of qualified Acer and Predator laptops, Acer projectors, and Acer desktop will come with free Samsonite luggage.
