Created with new partner advertising agency TPN, the advertising campaign is a first for Cricket Communications in terms of national scale and reach. The campaign directly follows the announcement of Cricket's major retail expansion with the introduction of select products, including Muve Music™ service, into more than 1,300 Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile specialty stores nationwide.
With a voiceover stating "So you can line their pockets, or load your library," the TV spot challenges consumers seeking real value in their life experiences not to settle for expensive, limited plans that will stretch their wallet – it's their call. View the TV spot.
Looking to introduce Cricket's brand nationwide and significantly increase the awareness of its value-rich products and services, the campaign was designed to elevate the brand within the pre-paid category, and highlights some of Cricket's most recent product innovations, such as Muve Music, which entitles consumers to download music, talk, send text messages, stream video and surf the Web at an attractive price.
"We feel it's critical to foster a straight-forward, honest atmosphere and tone both internally throughout our company and also when talking to consumers. We recognize they are fatigued by limited, binding contracts and hidden fees, and need to know that Cricket offers pre-paid options, including a premium experience with the latest smartphones and unlimited talk, text and data," said Jaime Vasquez, vice president of consumer marketing, Cricket Communications. "'Your Call' is our challenger brand mentality in a visual form, demonstrating that we are a premium, but also value-driven, option for consumers who don't want to sacrifice quality and ease of their communications."
