View Full Version : Marketing slogans for the N900 - let's help Nokia!

Hey folks, I just had a small thought... I assume Nokia probably has prepared their own campaign for the N900 when it will be close to coming out(or perhaps not?) and I know about the community topic going on, but here I want to do and accomplish something specific, specific for the N900, which Nokia should check out.

Nokia will surely be putting up random posters, stickers, ads, commercials and whatnot. In this topic, I want everyone to come up with 5 slogans for the N900 and I am hoping that Nokia will then read through and pick 3 best mottos they would use for their ads for the N900. I know that several Nokia/Maemo/N900 people are monitoring this board and i thought it would be fun and exciting to tie together our thoughts with Nokia's marketing in a specific field, where one slogan can say explicitly about the phone much more than all the technical specs and tell the customer, why to get this phone in the first place. Let's help Nokia!

My suggestions:

Nokia 900 - Anything. Anywhere.
Nokia 900 - You decide. You choose. You do.
Nokia 900 - Out of this world.
Nokia 900 - Explore the unlimited.
Nokia 900 - Eats iPhone for breakfast.

I will be updating the list consantly in the OP and I hope Nokia will take a look in here for inspiration and perhaps even use slogans we come up with!

Cheers!

N900 - Doing mobile, better
N900 - The power of desktop multimedia in your pocket
N900 - The kitchen sink of cell phones :D (this could lead to some bad comebacks referencing food disposals...)

N900 - Immerse yourself in mobile freedom
Been there, done that; now do it on the Nokia N900
N900 - Enabling and connecting people like never before
N900 - Grounds for divorce :p
N900 - A mobile experience without boundaries
N900 - Take one and call, text, IM, videochat everyone in the morning (yes I knkow, nothing that can't really be done elsewhere)
N900 - Pushing the laptop to the edge of extinction


Oh, so after I posted I read the "5" limit. Sorry.

I'd like to see something about 'open' and personalized and i would hate to see a competitors name in the slogan. I like the device because it is (will be) whatever I want it to be (assuming the apps i need get published). The challenge is to create a tag that differentiates the n900 from the rest of the competition.

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
"Work it harder, make it better, do it faster, make us stronger"

Clearly we need a daft punk soundtrack to this ad

because the N900 is more then the N97 is and can offer, despite some similarities..that's why they should imo have different slogans..they are different products too...and that's why i created this topic, for Nokia...

The new N900 from Nokia- the red pill you've been waiting for!

N900 - red pill form only (but is that accurate? confirm please)

N900 on Tmobile - consider the bar raised (sorry AT&T!)

Your internet, your way- only on the Nokia N900

The N900- even your mother would approve (show some 50+ year old woman checking her Facebook account or similar)

N900 from Nokia - free your mind (yes, another Matrix spin)

Life happens, be prepared - with the N900 from Nokia (highlighting communication, audio/video capture, internet access- could be a wedding, birth, car accident, stuck at airport, etc)

As for Nokia already having slogans/catch-phrases. Yes, it may be true and fine and dandy, but who says they can't take additional angles and spice up/add variety to their ads? Yes, too much variety and you lose your audience- if they wind up seeing too many ads for the same thing but all with different messages, they get "lost" in marketing-speak. Even so, I personally thoroughly enjoy the Geico ads.

Anyone else notice that since the original official N900 announcement and published web site that all their tech/gadget websites *seemingly* have Nokia ads around every corner? Sure they weren't for the N900 but I tell ya, I've seen almost as many N97 web ads in the past month than I've seen login screens at work. (running 4 PCs and administration of roughly a dozen+ day to day)

Heh, and to think some people get paid to think up slogans.

Ok, daveb started with the visuals, so here are some based on personal experience:

Father and daughter sitting outside on a starry night. Father points to the sky at a bright point of light, and then he holds up his N900 and he shows her a picture of the tiny planet Earth beside the huge curve of Jupiter...

Man in a strange European town, looking lost. He pulls out his N900 and zooms in on a red dot on a map. He taps the screen and the map becomes 3D, with little 3D buildings and everything. He smiles with relief. He walks over to a cafe or something and switches to something like Google Translate, where we see he has translated something like "I would like a bagel" to the local language. The scene fades out with him trying to say the phrase to the shopkeeper.

I've got more, but my thumbs are getting a bit tired on this little keyboard.

N900 - can you ask for more?

(- except of course, USB host, FM receiver and support for Ogg Vorbis)

Uhm, and come to think of it; support should also include FLAC, make it also a DAB receiver, and perhaps also a step counter (or is that something the accelerometers actually can take care of?) - not to mention Java support, - and while we're at it; move the flash LEDs away from the lens to avoid red eyes.

OK, then:

N900 - could you ask for much more?

How about there is this countdown, and people are running around screaming. Its obviously tied to some sort of bomb. People are just going plain nuts. Then the countdown ends, and the box opens to show the N900.

OR

Same scenario, but in the middle of all the screaming, a guy casually walks to the bomb, pulls out a N900, and hacks the bomb to turn it off. Then its like "Nokia N900, it just saved your @ss!"

OR

How about GODZILLA attacking, and a kid pulls out his N900 and blasts some tunes. And then the onedotzero stuff goes everywhere and they all party like its 1999! WOOOOHOOOO! Okay, I really need to do my work...

qole, thats almost an app idea.

it could just be used for AR to hold up the device to where you are looking and have it annotate the star names in the centre of the view.

fix it onto the side of a telescope and display detailed info on the focused area.

Jupiter
1. Position in the solar system: 5th planet from the sun
2. Closest distance to the sun: Perihelion is 740,500,000 km (460,000,000 miles)
3. Farthest distance from the sun: Aphelion is 816,600,000 km (507,000,000 miles)
4. Minimum distance to Earth: 588,400,000 km (366,000,000 miles)
5. Jovian day: 9.926 hours
6. Jovian year: 11.86 Earth years
7. Axis tilt: 3.13°
8. Orbital Inclination to ecliptic: 1.305°

My suggestion is an ad campaign with slogans highlighting the different aspects of the N900. Something along the lines of:

N900 - Communication Reinvented
N900 - Computer Reinvented
N900 - Phone Reinvented
N900 - Online Reinvented
N900 - Multimedia Reinvented
and so on :)

My personal favourite is however this epic slogan:

Nokia N900 - Awesome included

Wow! I was just pondering, since the stars are kind enough to stay pretty much in the same formation, If one could incorporate the camera to have the augmented reality effect when watching the sky. (since the pattern is "easily" recognizeable)

Now that would give credit to my favorite slogan:

"Is that the internet in your pocket, or are you just... "

LOL Couldn't resist (and I avoided a slogan like that for just that reason)

LOL
I really think you could make something of that.

Imagine a video along the lines of.......

Young guy (should look good, but more in terms of cute/innocent than sexually attractive) in 3-4 situations where he stands in a group of people: bus stop, in a train, traffic light waiting to cross the street... - The situations tell a story of him clearly moving somewhere, we'll find out later he has a date with his girlfriend.

All this time, you never see anything below the waistline. (Well, we could do one shot that shows him from behind...)
What you do see, though, is people (elderly ladies, a group of giggling teenage girls, ...) pointing at his crotch, excited, whispering, curious, big eyes. The guy never seems to notice.

Finally, he meets his girlfriend (she has to be attractive in this spot ;) ) who greets him with a broad smile, looking down where all the others looked at before: "Is this the internet in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
Now we finally get to see what it's all about. It's not an obscene bulge (as some dirty minds might have expected), but a myriad of colors, website-thumbnails, note-symbols, chat-smilies etc. crowding around the pocket of his jeans in a colorful, cartoon-esque style. the whole pocket might even pulsate to the beat of inaudible music (which, in fact, would make it look a little obscene :D ...)

Next thing we see is that, while she kisses him hello, her hand moves deep into his front pocket.

Then we see the two of them sitting close to each other (on stairs or whatever is where they met), she holds the N900 (same colors, images, note-symbols, smilies etc as before emerging from the device) and is totally in love with it and lost in another world, while he sits beside her, rolling his eyes with a fatalistic/patronizing kind of "oh, here we go again...! But it's ok, I understand" expression on his face.

Same shot again, this time from a little distance, "N900" written on the screen while a male voice says: "It's the internet in your pocket. Put up with it."


I would like it. :)

"Connecting People". I mean, it fits Nokia's slogan IMO. Its like "The Network is the Computer."

"Open Networking." or "Libre Networking". Bah. The slogan would need to attract even non-geeks while underlining the relevance. Difficult!

From the point of view of sci fi, sadly unoriginal

N900 - resistance is futile
N900 - iphone will be exterminated
(but you need the right voice for that one)
N900 - to infinity and beyond

But let's see, if jeeps can do it...

N900 - it's a geek thing: you wouldn't understand

For the relics amongst us:

N900 - Makes you feel just like when you got your ZX81
(well, I'm that excited anyway :rolleyes:)

Finally:

N900 - Engage. Amaze. Repeat.

n900 - what you want wherever you are - it's your phone

n900 - blurring the line between on your desk and on the go

The latter is how I actually feel about it, so I would get a kick if they used that. It also conveys about the same thing intended as the phrase "raw computer power" - that is such a terrible advertisement. Most people don't care if they're carrying around a cray in their pocket if they can't read their email.

In addition, should Nokia do something like, oh, bundle VNC + vnc viewer as nice and pretty that would push the latter statement too.

Hi guys,

It was quite an inspiring and fun experience reading this post.
Also the idea is rather nice , not taking in consideration that a big conglomerate like Nokia, will not show much interest of the creationist struggles of a bunch of technological enthusiasts geeks like yourselves, since I am positive that they are paying loads of money to advertising companies that will come with something at the end, or they already had, a slogan who has "good to print" from them.
But the spirit of this thread, also spread in every reply of this forum stands by itself, and it has everything what a company target client wishlist might . Enthusiasm. Which is rather difficult to find it anywhere else.
How many threads are up here, and the device is not even release yet??!! Unbelievable !!!
So I am getting my personal touch, as a fellow enthusiast, and I come up with something.
But first some points.
- a slogan must be by itself extremely simple, 2 words or maximum 3, you will not see successfully slogan phrases.
(Goethe once said, "if a rainbow would last for more than 15 min, nobody will see it")
ex: Nike : Just do it, Coke: Always Coca Cola, Seat: Auto emocion, even Nokia: Connecting people...etc....the only one that I liked an it costs more than few words is, General Electric's..."If you can dream it, we can do it"
- what ever is genial is SIMPLE. they are Synonyms.
- what I liked so far are:

"linux inside" - that is what we are talking about after all, linux's spirit , it's a free world...opened and creative,future inside, and is a slogan that "intel inside" deserves as an opponent, but....what is linux's knowledge or awareness area? limited so far, but the slogan is future oriented and is very powerful, has the potential to spread the Linux spirit all over, the power of spreading education. Is the best in my opinion but a little bit future oriented and not present related, for immediate market interest.

"awesome included" - still good but this can be also a slogan for suzuki bikes as well. linux is overrated like and this is downrated like.


"Originally Posted by livefreeordie
N900# _

On an empty white backround, centered, with the _ blinking. "

(this is genial also and inspired me a lot, simple and genial, ....I will use this in my further expose)
...and many more , the comic ones were very funny


soooo, my idea is as simple as that....

Nokia: Connecting People
N900 : Connected

.... and is only ONE word

Got the point?.....they've tried , they've tried and know they've reached some end.....it's rather true . The only thing "bad" about this is that by adopting this, they will be in a position of accepting that what was before were searches, but this is what is all about, is somehow included in the spirit of the "flagship" concept, ever better than before...

This idea in conjunction with "livefreeordie" scenario can work like a charm...

"on an empty black background with a green "_" blinking and some midi specific audio .....this sequence:

NOKIA _
_
_
_ Connecting People

NOKIA N900 _
_
_ Connected

What do you think?

PLEASE forgive my comments, my subjectiveness, an my long reply. It took me half of bottle of vodka to feel free to write my dumb ideas.

Also: in the spirit that a slogan must not be related with what it does:

N900: The 4th dimension

or

N900: myPhone

I rest my case

Fully agreed Nexus.

I quite like myphone, it stands above iPwn :D.

For the life of it I would not like a white bg with black fg terminal. It hurts my eyes, and it eats far too much, unnecessary juice. So, black bg with white, grey, or light green fg.

The fact the device runs Linux (under hood) and the fact you get a very free software environment and such, is traditionally spread by mouth to mouth marketing. So, the way a new marketing campaign would be launched, would rather cater the masses instead, and be descriptive for them. That may or may not include a marketing slogan, but such might insult the hard core geeks. In any case, we already seen the Maemo and N900 marketing homepage on nokia.com, you can get some idea, what I mean with target group.

Casually dressed N900 guy - "Why, yes I am playing pocket pool".
As he pulls it out of his pocket, his clothes change to a Business Suit and says - "But it's also my Penthouse office"
