Fashion, Friend Or Phone?

“We are moving away from phones as tools to phones as companions,” Elise Levanto, Nokia’s senior consumer vision manager told Business Week. This may be true in Helsinki, but companions need to be alive, at least where I come from. I’m getting a bit chafed by all the “let the brand be your friend” rhetoric I’m hearing. Brands are not friends. Friends are friends.
This is a pretty sweet looking phone, however.

About David Burn

I wrote my first ad for a local political candidate when I was 17 (she went on to win her race, and I felt the power of persuasive copy for the first time). Today, I live near Portland, Oregon and spend my days building brands for companies that matter.
