Case Study
Summary
Competing for customers in market on a monthly basis, the Pre-Paid mobile category became stuck in a downward spiral of price promotions and bonus data that had devalued every brand’s offering. With its customer base in free-fall and a price premium that made it tough to win a race to the bottom, Telstra stepped away from short-termism and looked ahead – rediscovering its unique value, rethinking its audience, and committing to a strategy, idea, and a culture of ongoing iteration, for the long term. The resulting campaign tapped into young Australians’ nagging anxiety around their mobile data in an entertaining way, helping Telstra connect with this fickle audience, becoming the brand’s most successful Pre-Paid mobile campaign on record.
