INDIA, 17 February 2021: HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, launched ’48 Hours of Change’, a user-led project that encourages people to create and capture positive changes they brought about in 48 hours in their lives and communities.
At the backdrop of the unprecedented year gone by, the project aims to emphasise the importance of believing in one’s own ability to create positive change for the better. Shot on different Nokia smartphones, known for their signature 2-day battery life1, these varied stories reflect the limitless possibilities when people actively seek and embrace change. The project features influencers from India, Latin America, USA, Middle East, Australia, Africa and Europe, sharing their answer to a simple but thought-provoking question: What change can you make (and capture) in 48 hours? It also stitches together stories of big changes facilitated by 18 creators from around the world, including Egypt, Netherlands, Nigeria, UAE, United Kingdom, Vietnam, Colombia, Poland and USA, to name a few.
Within the first 7 days, the global video of 48 Hours of Change received millions of views, including millions of full video views, from around the world.
Stephen Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer, HMD Global, said, “Last year has taught us that change around us is indeed inevitable and can come without a warning. However, we can also take charge and create the change we wish to see – in ourselves, for our loved ones and for the society at large, and build connections through love and trust. Through this ’48 Hours of Change’ campaign, we wanted to capture the power of change through the lens of a Nokia smartphone, with its signature 2-day battery life and the solid foundation of trust it has built. I’m so glad to see millions around the world continuing to view and engage with this 48 Hours of Change project through the videos on our social media platforms, and I sincerely hope it has also inspired many to create change”.
