Insight from Nokia
Speaking about the Nokia ad campaign, Jyotsna Makkar, Head of Marketing, HMD Global (India) said, “As the pioneers of mobile telephony, Nokia has been instrumental not just in bringing innovative devices to people, but also in helping them forge deep connections. The reason the love and trust for this brand have endured is that Nokia has always been a people’s brand – it’s deeply ingrained into our DNA. We thought it was important that a brand that showed all of us the way to connect, could also remind us that technology has the power to both unite as well as make people feel disconnected – this is a universal insight in our cultural context today”

Nokia tied up with one of the top online content creators of India The Viral Fever for their digital ad campaign. The ad was featured by online sensation Sumeet Vyas and Nidhi Singh. Both are popularly known as Mikesh and Tanu from a famous web series permanent roommates.
