Media Integration to reach Mobile Moms

1. Media Integration to reach Mobile Moms

2. Sprint’s Marketing Doctrine: Integration between the three screens • “Mile Deep” integration a proven doctrine exemplified in Sprint’s sports sponsorships – NFL, NASCAR, NHL • Combine offline Mass Media, Online Marketing, and Data Usage on handsets. • Passing of the baton in engaging in dialogue with prospects and customers • Wireless industry is perhaps best position to truly deliver on integrated marketing campaigns. • Significant results in metrics for media, plus “all boats rise” measurements. Innovative Media and the Third Screen

3. New Company Brings Forth New Challenges • With September 2005 merger of two companies, Sprint and Nextel, came new opportunities and challenges. • A key segment is Families, which bring several characteristics: • High ARPU • Low Churn • Good Credit • Low data usage • Priority is to acquire more targets in this segment, as well as stimulate data usage, further raising ARPU Innovative Media and the Third Screen

Brave New World – the world of Moms • Male portion of the Families segment well-covered by sports sponsorships, especially with addition of NFL. • No real emphasis on marketing to females, particularly Moms • No compelling reasons for them to use data. • Fear of data and technology • Challenge was to use an integrated media campaign to generate new handset sales as well as stimulate data usage. • Promote on television, leveraging popular entity • Participate via online sign up • Online also one of main transactional vehicles • Deliver on the promise with data offering on handsets.

5. Stimulating Data – the Holy Grail, or at least one of, in Marketing • With continued fierce competition for share of decisions in wireless industry, price and margins continue to decline. • Flattening growth, so emphasis is now on switchers. • Data offerings, and subsequent data revenue, a way to maintain ARPU. • Data usage also brings “stickiness.” Correlation between data usage and churn – further sense of urgency to stimulate data. • Past head-on assaults in trying to use data as reason to switch as well as stimulate data have had mixed results. • Now…for the big flanking maneuver!
