Since 1992 Optus has challenged Australia’s legacy telco Telstra by building its brand on standing for “Yes” in a category that loves to say “No”. But thirty years on Optus’ commitment to “Yes” needed re-stating in order to re-orientate the business internally and build relevance externally with contemporary Australia. This entry shows how our “It starts with Yes” campaign with short video at its core impacted upon key brand and business metrics as one of our region’s biggest challenger brands said yes to starting the next chapter in its history.
