When you hold the lofty position of being the number one manufacturer of both mobile phone handsets and smartphones with a 13 and 17 point lead respectively in market share, you might think “why change a winning formula”; however for Nokia, innovation is the DNA not just part of it! Nokia maintains a healthy lead in the rankings charts for 2010 as reported by both IDC and Strategy Analytics however with Samsung’s annual sales growth trumping Nokia’s by a factor of over four times, Nokia’s number one position is threatened unless it can improve its annual sales growth figures.
One recent attempt to do this was to make an open call for innovation, inviting, for the first time, the crowd to create a new version of its iconic ringtone, which has been its trademark since 1994.
In partnership, Nokia selected the small Finnish startup, AudioDraft which was founded in July 2010. AudioDraft specializes in contest based challenges that crowdsource music and sound design. The contest attracted thousands of talented sound designers and music producers from all over the world, with Nokia paying $ 10,000 for the winner. The new ringtone will be available on some 100 million devices and will be heard over 1 billion times a day.
As with most great ideas, the vision for Voices was developed at a kitchen table and mapped out on serviettes in coffee shops. In the earliest days of our business partnership, I composed music and recorded bands while my wife Stephanie was a recording artist who also performed as a soloist at weddings and taught singing lessons.
After building a website for our audio production services and achieving high search engine rankings in Google, a number of freelance voice talent contacted us to see if they could be listed on our website to gain work opportunities. As more and more ‘voices’ were listed, we began to see how our company could provide services to talent who were looking for ways to promote themselves and apply for jobs.
While recording was something that we were good at, it didn't take long for us to realize that we were on the verge of a great opportunity that could change our lives forever. Stephanie and I wanted to find the best way possible to do what we loved while helping others to succeed. Both of us were ready to step back from recording and let others step in. If we could live out our dreams while positively impacting the lives of others — thereby helping them to live out their dreams and support their families — we would be successful no matter what.
