The Brief
In order to compete in the Australian market 3 mobile needed to raise awareness of the 3 brand and its products among consumers and small to medium businesses.
Solution
In order to drive coverage and ultimately raise awareness of 3 and its products, n2n devised a comprehensive PR program.
Media relations spanning metro, broadcast and print, small business press, IT and consumer tech, verticals, local/regional media and online included:
- Journalist product review program
- A survey to assess attitudes to the rising cost of petrol prices (and the related reliance on mobile communications tools rather than petrol-hungry travel)
- By lines/thought leadership
- Proactive news generation: eg survey on petrol prices
- Leveraging celebrity and sponsorship endorsements eg Adam Gilchrist and Dick Johnson racing
- Local/regional media programs
- Events eg product launches
Results
As a result of the program 3 Mobile developed strong, ongoing relationships with target small business and technology press. Coverage generated from product reviews positioned 3 Mobile as the carrier of choice for products and services that deliver control, value and flexibility for customers. Â The survey alone resulted in 29 pieces of coverage spanning national daily consumer press and regional press.
