Wireless consumers get a brand to believe in.
In 2010, U.S. Cellular snapped the wireless world out its slumber with The Belief Project - an array of customer-centric features and services, including the industry's first rewards program with points and an end to the contract-after-contract cycle that has left consumers trapped for years.
For the nation's 6th largest wireless provider, The Belief Project was a brand-changer. And AMP was brought on board to develop an experiential marketing campaign to build mystery leading up to the launch and to pay it off in the days after.
The central goal of The Belief Project was to "wake up the wireless world". AMP leveraged this core theme to develop a series of eye-catching, consumer-first engagements - both online and off - to intrigue and educate by literally helping people "wake up".
AMP Agency selected the top 10 markets within the U.S. Cellular footprint to activate The Belief Project launch. Consumers in each market were bombarded with a combination of efforts.
Wake Up Wagons delivered key messaging along with morning coffee and snacks in high-traffic areas. Consumers could even summon the Wagon to their offices, dorms and homes via a text messaging campaign. Sleep Mobs - pajama-clad flash mobs symbolically "waking up" in the streets - created public spectacles that stopped consumers in their tracks.
Radio spots, live remotes and mobile billboards spread the word while an interactive microsite let consumers speculate about The Belief Project and share their hopes for a better wireless experience.
AMP Agency's efforts built incredible interest and buzz leading up to The Belief Project launch and created an industry-wide stir immediately after. Word-of-mouth reached nearly 400,000 consumers. Over 80,000 visited thebeliefproject.net in its short five day lifespan. In total, the program netted an impressive 1.8 million impressions in just under two weeks.
