In the interview, sponsored by BBC.com, Kaisharis says Nokia’s Comes with Music campaign in Singapore was set up to educate consumers of the service, which was a difficult task for a company not generally associated with music.
“Many people misinterpret what it is so we wanted to communicate a bunch of things,” Kaisharis says, noting that Nokia used digital tools ranging from electronic direct mailers and ads on external sites ranging from music forums to radio sites online to draw audiences to Nokia’s store.
“We’ve had more traffic to our Nokia site than we’ve ever had. We had a deeper level of click-through activity than we’ve had,” he says of the results. “I remember specifically that we started doing them on a Thursday on certain sites and we would see massive traffic spikes whenever we did these flashy banners on Thursday because we really got the right kind of communication and engaging people in the right way.”
Kaisharis additionally talks about how “service- and segment-relevant targeting” is the key to Nokia’s digital strategy because it produces the best snapshot of the audiences drawn to his brand.
