CHALLENGE

_

Entel’s mission is to be a leader in innovation and a role model for the telecommunications industry. Its aim is to be at the forefront of the industry either by the messages it sends or by selecting the way it communicates those messages.

In 2010, it began to include Twitter within its media plans in order to include digital platforms in the brand’s evolution. Today, Twitter is no longer a mere reception device for Entel; they have built a space for interaction where a brand that is committed to what is going on in Chile significantly connects with its customers.

SOLUTION

_

Entel’s Always-on Twitter strategy was designed to broaden the scope of the brand messages and convey a unique engagement through the different creative solutions offered by the platform.

Leaving behind a cold TELCO image, Entel has become a brand that is connected to Chilean reality with the collaboration of Twitter.

PILLARS OF THE ALWAYS-ON STRATEGY

SUPPLEMENT TO THE TV SERVICE

For Entel advertising campaigns, Twitter is a mainstream media due to its reach. The number 1 telecommunications brand in Chile has chosen Twitter to grow its messages and TV advertising campaigns.

CONNECT WITH THE CUSTOMER’S PASSIONS

One of the objectives of the brand’s presence on Twitter is to promote event sponsorship such as the Santiago Marathon, the Viña Music Festival or the Chilean National Soccer Team, to create a greater emotional connection with its target audiences.

OWN THE SITUATION AND LEAD THE CONVERSATION

Twitter customers are an active audience that is highly interested in current events. Entel participates in the most important sporting and entertainment events in Chile and participates in the Twitter conversations regarding these activities to obtain an unparalleled message delivery within specific contexts.

PREFERRED FORMATS

@ENTEL SELECTS NON-TRADITIONAL FORMATS TO FOSTER CUSTOMER PARTICIPATION AND CAPTURE THEIR CONVERSATIONS.

FIRST VIEW

First view places @entel at center stage of Twitter customers to achieve maximum reach in its publications. When users log in and in the start box, the first thing they see is a message promoting the brand.

PROMOTED TRENDS

With Promoted Trends, brands can own the conversation and be in first place in the trends search. When customers use a certain hashtag, conversations are started that go beyond just a sponsored campaign, thus achieving a unique and organic engagement.

BRANDED EMOJI

@entel took hashtags to another level in several campaigns with these formats. When the Twitter community uses hashtags, an automatic emoticon pops up in the tweet, thereby spreading the message visually through the entire platform.

THE KEYS TO SUCCESS

@entel IS NEVER OFFLINE

Going beyond relevant events, the brand has established a stable and consistent communication frequency through its Always-on campaigns.

TWITTER USER PROFILES

This is not a micro audience, it is an audience composed of millions of eager information consumers that want to establish a direct conversation with the brand.

SELECTING ATTRACTIVE FORMATS

Entel strives to be innovative when combining the different campaign formats. The selection of new formats, such as video ads or branded emojis, contributed to an increase in engagement indexes.
