Carly gets some attitude as T-Mobile revamps its marketing
Share:
The ad, dubbed “No More Mr Nice Girl”, is the beginning of the carrier’s major re-branding effort.
“We’re working toward a brand refresh later in the year,” T-Mobile senior VP Peter DeLuca said in an interview with AllThingsD. “We really can’t wait until the end of the year to make some noise in the market.”
The campaign will be bankrolled by a $200 million incremental boost to T-Mobile’s advertising spending. In addition to traditional TV spots, T-Mobile will also be allocating fund to advertise on Hulu and YouTube.
In what may be a slight nod to the Smoked by Windows Phone campaign idea, T-Mobile will also launch a “test drive” website where it will show its devices performing favorably against competing handsets. Considering T-Mobile was left out of the iPhone party after the failed AT&T sale, we’re guessing the iPhone will definitely be a target.
While T-Mobile is looking to cut costs such as reducing call-center jobs and playing with the idea of selling its U.S. cell towers, it is making a huge effort to rebrand itself and win back consumer interest.
DeLuca added, “We really want to set the record straight and say to the consumer they really should be taking a second look at T-Mobile.”

You know what'd really make her attractive? If she actually knows stuff about the phones other than how much they cost

And what's more attractive than a girl in tight leather riding a motorcycle? A girl in tight leather ridding a motorcycle that knows something about specs other than screen size and that the phone is really "fast" That's all I'm saying d:

Maybe when they get the One-X with stock ICS.

Its about frikkin time. Seriously. Start putting 4g speeds, coverage, and plan disparity (which is majorly in t-mobile's favor) in everyone's face.

they better not rise up too much against Verizon with this new aggressive marketing scheme of theirs. especially being that they've practically lapped T-Mobile by pushing LTE nearly as hard as T-Mobile's HSPA+ network which will only be cut short when they get on the LTE bandwagon and have to start from scratch and nobody throws punches or badass marketing campaigns like Verizon does. i'm all for T-Mobile coming out of the bag with a fresher, less-cutezy brand being that they're my second favorite carrier but there better be some big moves coming with it like a non-Qualcomm powered Galaxy S III for example...really less Qualcomm in general.

T-Mobile should have an interesting spokesperson rather than Carly.

Tmo, rebrand your efforts to offer top phones like the other carriers rather than be inline to get seconds. And those millions paid to Carley could be used to get the Nokia Lumia 900 or HTC One X. There's no sexy girls or guys spokespersons on other carriers yet they're successfull. Just imagine the money that could be saved and used for better things! My guess though some one high incorporate is probably banggin her. Can't afford to let her go because of that.
