Like A Dot Com CEO Throwing Money Around in 1999, Samsung Rebrands Heathrow’s Terminal 5

  • 1 min read

In an epic rebranding stunt, Samsung is opening its pocketbooks and will rebrand Heathrow’s Terminal 5 for two weeks. It will be known as “Terminal Samsung Galaxy S5.” I shit you not.

Beginning Monday, the brand will cover the terminal with signage including entry and exits, the security area, boarding gates and baggage claim.

I’ve always hated the rebranding of “public” spaces like sports stadiums and other major landmarks. For example, the Boston Garden getting named the Fleet Center and then TD Garden (at least it can be called the Garden again) or the insanity CandleStick Park underwent.

Thankfully this Samsung sponsorship will be over before most realize it’s even begun.

“At least it’s not worse” is meant as comfort, but psychologists who study what’s become known as toxic positivity have found that skipping straight to the silver lining, before someone’s felt heard, tends to make them talk less about what’s actually bothering them, not more.
