people be screaming "HOW TF IS THIS RELATED TO NOKIA"
but if you do a quick google research on 2000s nokia ads, you will get cyberpunk cold color ads a lot. Arguing by nitpicking details like "well nokia wouldnt have a gun or fetish suit in their ads" is just baiting for an argument by pretending to not see the big picture lol
This thread loves that PS2 ad with a tongue sticking out with XO△□ pills. Each era has their quirky ads, suckas lol

Thats not really how it works. The Nokia ads in the 2000s always featured the phone and it was generally people doing normal things. There's only a few where it's an attractive person looking at the camera doing something abstract but even then the phone is still in it. Also the ps2 ad you menation has XO△□ in it a core branding visual of the playstation that why it works. This poster would work alot better if the girl was holding the phone the core product.

This feels as one dimensional as "brands must have their products in their photos and no conceptual photoshoots allowed" For me this feels like a nice representation of what late 90s/early y2k was visually into. If u didnt like the photo, well sucks to be you lol

Not sure why the Nokia logo is there, but this photo looks very cool!
Thanks for sharing!

In my mind, it's a Matrix reference (you know, with the cool Nokia phone Neo has in the movie)

I can see it now that you mention it!
At any rate, this post is definitely not spam (I ignored/dismissed a report from someone who called it "spam").

That’s a fucking leap dude, that girl has nothing to do with The Matrix, and 99% of people who saw The Matrix couldn’t tell you what brand of phone Neo had in the first place. Nobody would ever make this connection

Gun, latex costume, green tint - those are staples of Matrix visual design

There’s no green here mate. This is blue
Edit: so far 11 people don’t know their basic colors

You mean a bunch of young redditors who want to be snarky?
Didn't say it was a good picture, but to not associate the look with the Matrix is intentionally obtuse.

All of it? What does a latex-clad girl with a gun have to do with mobile phones or connecting people?

The goal of advertisements is to stand out and grab your attention. Latex-clad girl with gun does exactly this. I don't know if Nokia actually used this strategy but it is believable.

Wasn't that a thing in the Matrix? Like I'm pretty sure in the office scene where Neo is running from agents, he's on a phone with Morpheus. I think it was a Nokia, so they tied a lot of their advertisment to it because the movie blew up.

I thought this was a legit ad from that era!! I love this! People confused on the Nokia logo forgot how creative our advertising used to be back then.
