CHALLENGE
HMD (the maker of Nokia phones) needed to launch a new product line in Bangladesh — a market where launch fatigue is real and consumers are skeptical of marketing promises.
IDEA
We built a pre-launch intrigue campaign using design thinking principles. We identified 50 micro-influencers across tech, lifestyle, and culture verticals and turned them into a connected network — each revealing one piece of the product story over 3 weeks, building collective curiosity.
RESULTS
THE IMPACT.
- 01Pre-launch waitlist: 12,000+ registrations
- 02Launch day social trending #1 in Bangladesh
- 03First-week sales exceeded forecast by 180%
