Filosofía	STC was not known for Broadband,and was behind in terms of market share as a result of fragmented tactical communication across the Broadband portfolios held by its various Business units. There was a need to come up with an umbrella platform for STC Broadband that would encompass all the services, be they fixed or mobile,in order to differentiate STC from the competition, and make it the point of reference. Building on the insight that Saudi Youth are very active online,we launched an online Hub “LaYwagif”which hosted entertaining Branded content in the form of sitcom series with multiple episodes and seasons. Creative Execution The region’s first branded online content hub “LaYwagif” (“No Limits”) hosted several series of sitcom content, featuring YouTube stars. Fast becoming an entertainment destination, this portal invited the Broadband generation to create their own content too. Each episode was supported by a teaser campaign to attract our audience, simultaneously with targeted online ads to drive traffic and create hype. YouTube pre-rolls supported with online and social media ads, taking viewers to each episode’s webpage. TV, print & outdoor were used to help build awareness and equity, featuring clips from the show and highlighting its key messages.Insights, Strategy and the IdeaAmongst the youth, STC was struggling with relevance, particularly as it had legacy issues from being perceived as an old-style telco, controlled by the government. Given that the youth represents 60% of the market, and are the ones who consume the most data, it was imperative that our Broadband communication strike a chord with the youth. Online has become a platform for young people’s need to discover their purpose, express themselves and pursue aspirations, so it only made sense that we needed to be where they were, and provide content that would be both relevant to them and to our brand.
