Mobile's next evolution
summary
OnePlus grows by fusing hardware and software, selling direct with an invite model and a grassroots community that helped crowdfund product choices and forgive public mistakes after transparent admissions. Early tactics include a $300 marketing budget that scales into $300 million revenue, a virtual reality launch using free goggles for 30,000 fans, a 5 million reservation list that caused a one-month delay, and a viral “Smash” campaign with 140,000 applicants and 100 winners.
