Nokia, the company that produces more than half the mobile
phones sold in a year in Romania, started to promote its terminals
last year through social networks Facebook and Twitter and has
organised several competitions to stimulate software development
for its own platform.
Nokia’s local office, which the Finish company opened in 1999, last
year for the first time allocated a budget for communication and
promotion of the company’s phones through Facebook and Twitter
networks. “We entered social media in the first quarter of 2010.
The Facebook page was launched in February and at the end of April
we were already on Twitter. The main reasons we entered social
media were the desire to talk to our users and bring as many of
them as possible into the Nokia community,” Razvan Petrescu,
Country Manager of Nokia Romania, told ZF. The company’s
interaction with users is handled on Facebook by PR agency DC
Communication, and on Twitter by online agency Wunderman.
Nokia has reached 23,500 fans on Facebook, and the company’s
messages on Twitter are followed by over 1,200 users. Petrescu did
not provide details on the budget allocated for social
networks.
