Senior Digital Account and Project Manager / Anthology Marketing Group (advertising agency)
Over several weeks, we conducted brand discovery and strategy sessions with Hawaiian Telcom's marketing team and executive leadership to develop messaging that amplified Hawaiian Telcom differentiators with an emotional appeal. We selected employee participants as talent and carefully crafted real stories of connections. The campaign was shared on broadcast TV with an online extension of content promoted through social media with the launch of their Instagram profile.
An award-winning brand campaign that reenergized employee morale and Hawaiian Telcom’s brand position as a local company against an aggressive, mainland-based competitor.
