The Challenge

Nokia and their London marketing agency, 1000 Heads, were preparing a major launch for the flagship N8 smartphone. To showcase the phone’s HD video capabilities, they needed bespoke helmet mounts, wrist straps, and waterproof cases that could withstand extreme sports conditions. The accessories had to be protective, functional, and produced cost-effectively in low volumes—within a tight timeframe to align with the N8’s marketing campaign.

 

The Solution

We collaborated with Nokia and 1000 Heads to develop and manufacture a limited-edition production run of custom accessories using vacuum casting. Our team designed a durable helmet holder to securely protect the N8 while ensuring its HD camera remained fully functional. Using our low-volume production expertise, we produced helmet mounts, wrist straps, and waterproof cases.

 

The Results

  • Delivered bespoke, high-quality accessories on time and within budget for a major smartphone launch.

  • Enabled Nokia to showcase the N8’s HD video capabilities in real-world extreme sports conditions.

  • Supported a successful campaign that contributed to the N8 selling over 4 million units in the UK alone.
