BUILD A VIBRANT BRAND FOR THE YOUNG
Signing with VNPT to use its infrastructure, Itel is the first mobile virtual network operator in Vietnam providing flexible telecom services and stable quality at the most competitive cost. However, there seems to be no difference at all between their service and others.
Formerly known as Indochina Telecom with no clear and authentic brand personalities, Itel came to us needing a deeper exploration of their brand potentials to stand out and captivate the emerging GenZ customers. We were happy to bring our expertise and great empathy for the young segment to the job.

GET INTO THE MIND OF GEN Z
Our first step is taking a deep dive into the characteristics of Gen Z, the first generation of true digital natives, who live an extremely fast life, change focus quickly with the attention scattered over plenty of ephemeral content. They may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do. Especially, they want to join not buy a brand.
DON’T TELL JUST SHOW!
“What kinds of people do you want to make friends with?” is used to kick-start ideation. Inspired by international brands who win the hearts and minds of the young, such as YouTube, Netflix, Instagram, Spotify, we realize that brands need to be realistic and genuine to gain their trust and love. Good wine needs no bush. The effort to attract them may be in vain. Catching trends to get in tune with them is not enough. Be smart, be quick-witted, be yourself.
THE “TEL” SLOGAN
LET’S PLAY ON WORDS!
LET’S PLAY ON WORDS!
When it comes to GenZ customers, they want brands to be fun, authentic and creative. We tap into the psychology of unconventional idea likability to make a pun for Itel’s slogan. The slogan is crafted by exploiting the similar phonetic of “Tel” (A part of their brand name and industry identity) and “Theo” (means Follow in English) to make a statement about service quality and also deliver the brand spirit in a witty way.
