nokiateasterAdAge reports that Nokia is looking for A US ad agency to promote their Windows Phones in 2012.

Nokia is specifically looking for a San Francisco-area digital agency to "dimensionalize" the global creative idea "Amazing Everyday."

The theme will be  "Hidden away in the everyday landscape are billions of little adventures and the new Nokia with Windows Phone makes it easier to find them, to take part in them and to share them."

Nokia will be targeting first-time smartphone buyers as well as defectors from iPhone and Android.
