A Telecommunications Success Story

Recently a major telecommunications and technology provider contacted us to help improve its brand from a problem and solution standpoint. While our client had a major stake in the broadcast and cable game, the brand suffered from low customer experience rating. We changed that with our customer-centric brand strategy.

How did we accomplish this goal?

We helped to reaffirm the company image as a resourceful media provider and an experienced promoter of technology. Our strategy involved:

• Repositioning the brand as a compelling and evolving entity
• Setting brand goals based on quantitative metrics and targets
• Reestablishing the brand vision across multiple customer touchpoints
• Providing a reusable, holistic framework for brand-driven decision-making

What did we accomplish?

Our brand strategy involved collaboration at every level. From the break room to the board room, CMG spent four months in the trenches to identify the brand’s underlying purpose, define its core benefit to customers, and evaluate every touchpoint along the road.

With the new brand position in place as a pillar to its internal operations, our client was able to improve employee performance and grow new relationships with their clients.
