Challenge

Reviving feature phone in the age of smartphone

The challenge for Nokia was to re-enter the competitive market with a feature phone in the midst of the smartphone revolution. The task was to create sustained excitement and buzz around the re-release of the Nokia 3310, despite the prevalent dominance of smartphones.

Strategy

Bringing people together

Nokia’s strategy was centered around evoking nostalgia and promoting personal connections. To achieve this, a unique keep sake pack was conceptualized. Key opinion leaders (KOLs) from across the country were carefully selected to receive a special keep sake pack. This pack contained a brand-new Nokia 3310, accompanied by other merchandise. The KOLs were tasked with choosing a long-lost friend they wished to reconnect with. The chosen friend would then receive an identical gift box, fostering the spirit of friendship and nostalgia.

The KOLs shared their unboxing experiences through live broadcasts on various social media platforms, including Facebook Live, Twitter, and Instagram. Their excitement resonated with their followers, who were equally delighted by the reintroduction of the Nokia 3310.
