Describe the objective of the promotion.

Nokia N8. The world's smallest home movie theatre brings you the world's largest home movie theatre.



When launching the Nokia N8, the first cell phone with an HDMI port, which makes it possible to show films and play games in HD on a big screen, Nokia wanted to demonstrate this tiny little feature to as many people as possible.



Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation.

We made the world's largest cinema screen (51x28m), put it on the wall of a 60's concrete building in the worn down suburb of Rosengård, connected the phone to four of the world's largest projectors and invited Swedish top director Josef Fares to show his favourite film Price of Persia for the thousands of people in the surrounding houses and on the lawns. We called it "The world's smallest home movie theatre brings you the world's largest home movie theatre."



Explain why the method of promotion was most relevant to the product or service.

When launching the Nokia N8, the first cell phone with an HDMI port, which makes it possible to show films and play games in HD on a big screen, Nokia wanted to demonstrate this tiny little feature to as many people as possible. We wanted to demonstrate how we really put the feature to the ultimate test.



Describe the success of the promotion with both client and consumer including some quantifiable results.

Thousands of spectators were thrilled (Police were not able to do a headcount). Local media in Southern Sweden wrote pages about it and all local TV stations were there. Global spread was not the goal but YouTube views are well over 100,000. The nearby cities is where the most N8s have been sold in Sweden to this date.
