2004 GOLD

Tribal Language

In a crowded, competitive and tenuous marketplace, Nextel's youth brand Boost Mobile, chose to launch. Boost, like the rest of the wireless industry was focused on the highly sought after youth market. In order to survive, Boost would have to find an entirely new approach to selling prepaid products to youth ages 12 to 24. Boost was able to attract a younger than average demographic by uncovering that Tribes of young people are connected through a unique use of language. While in only 12% of the country Boost was able to outpace their biggest national competitor, consistently exceed month-over-month sales objectives and achieve their ultimate goal -- a national rollout.

2004 SILVER

Rollover

By 2002 the wireless category's growth began slowing down, and the competitors were looking more and more alike. Differentiation became a challenge and as the category matured, consumers got savvier and more cynical. Cingular's business performance began to reflect the category's complexities: flow share dropped below market share, and churn was above the industry average. Into this environment, Cingular launched Rollover. By the end of the first year, Cingular's goals were exceeded -- awareness and flow share were both up while churn was on the decline.

2004 BRONZE

The New Yahoo! Search

Yahoo! is the original Internet Search brand, and has become the world's largest Internet portal behind a "find anything" position. However, the breadth of content had begun to clutter perceptions of Yahoo! Search, and new search-specific brands were growing at a faster rate. This was a campaign to "free the search bar," and introduce the New Yahoo! Search, which increased share growth by 100% over plan.
