Samsung Galaxy Tab Ambassador I took part in a social media online competition for the Samsung Galaxy Tab and won the title of "Samsung Galaxy Tab Ambassador" in Saudi Arabia. I also won the device and was sent a training kit by Samsung asking me to create a social buzz online for the product.
 In general, Samsung asked me to be active. I wrote reviews about the Samsung galaxy tab, answered questions in blogs and forums and created a series of 5 short clips that communicate how I blend the device into my daily life. The results were fantastic more people joined my page and voted for my videos. Samsung was pleased with the outcome and they gave me 2nd place Ambassador in the MENA region.
