Nothing has formally entered the Australian market, appointing DO. ANZ as its creative agency partner across Australia and New Zealand.
Founded as a design-led challenger in consumer technology, Nothing has built international momentum by positioning itself against major incumbents through industrial design, community engagement and creator-led marketing.
ANZ becomes next growth market
The company says Australia and New Zealand represent the next stage of its international growth strategy, targeting consumers it sees as highly engaged and receptive to design-led technology brands.
Rather than following traditional category marketing, Nothing has grown through creator communities, early adopters and product-focused storytelling.
That approach has helped the company build a global following while challenging brands such as Apple and Samsung Electronics in brand visibility.
Guy Cook
Guy Cook, Country Lead ANZ at Nothing, said the company’s positioning remains deliberately different from larger rivals.
“Nothing aims to be different – aesthetically, culturally, and experientially – rather than simply out-spec or out-power the old industry players. After only 5 years, we have built a global smartphone business at scale. Millions of devices shipped, $1B+ lifetime sales and a $1.3B valuation.
“The foundation is now in place for global growth, while being uniquely positioned to capitalise on an Ai future. It’s a brand built for those who value individuality and visual identity, alongside technology, community and design”
Creative partnership built around challenger positioning
DO. ANZ has been appointed to support brand building and regional growth, with the agency selected for its focus on culturally driven creative and design-led storytelling.
Paul Coles, Partner & Managing Director of DO. ANZ, said the partnership aligns closely with the agency’s own positioning.
“Nothing is one of the most exciting global brands to launch in the last few years. A brand driven by innovation, creativity, design and community – with a belief in disrupting industry, by making tech fun again. Which, as a creative business, has everyone at DO. very excited about the partnership”
The two businesses say the focus will now shift to establishing the brand locally while supporting wider APAC growth
