Mumbai: London-based consumer electronics manufacturer Nothing has tasked Kulfi Collective with the mandate to craft the campaign for their CMF Phone 1.
Called ‘Wonderful By Design’, the integrated campaign comprises two captivating films and 500 plus social and digital assets. The two master films; one for a global audience and one tailored for India featuring actress Rashmika Mandanna, cleverly builds CMF’s unique identity on the heritage of its parent brand, Nothing.
CMF’s product portfolio now includes smartphones, earbuds, neckbands, and smartwatches, meticulously crafted with attention to colour, material, and finish — to make the necessary brilliant and the essential wonderful. Kulfi Collective’s campaign showcases CMF’s design-led approach and reinforces its European origins.
The global film, "Wonderful by Design," highlights the meticulous craftsmanship and creativity that goes into building CMF products. It positions CMF labs as hubs where art and science converge, plotting the journey from the designers' minds to the consumers' hands. Immersive storytelling ensures the local film picks up where the global film ends. Rashmika Mandanna, while travelling in the London subway, discovers a CMF vending machine that transports her to the CMF lab. Here, she explores the three products and their state-of-the-art features, epitomising the fusion of tech and beauty.
Nothing senior director global brand & creative Ryan Latham shared his enthusiasm stating, "We are immensely proud to introduce CMF Phone 1 to the world, and our collaboration with Kulfi Collective has been an integral part of this journey. Their creative competence and storytelling capability perfectly suited this launch. The positive consumer response is testament to our brand and our global campaign.”
"The launch of CMF marks a significant milestone for Nothing in India. With Kulfi Collective, we’ve crafted a visually stunning campaign that resonates with the local audience while maintaining a global appeal. We look forward to seeing the growth of CMF in India and beyond” added Nothing India head of marketing Pranay Rao.
"Absolutely thrilled to partner with Nothing to launch CMF! The campaign reflects our commitment to creating design-led, innovative content that resonates with both global and local audiences. Working with the team at Nothing has been an incredible journey, and we are excited to see CMF inspire and delight consumers worldwide," said Kulfi Collective co-founder and chief creative officer Akshat Gupt.
This partnership with Nothing underscores Kulfi Collective's prowess in championing immersive storytelling and establishing brands as cultural icons.
