A three-fold marketing communications strategy was developed to promote the wireless access service.
A major community event followed by a press conference. A turnkey event was organized inviting prominent
community spokespersons and local Indian media to a cocktail and dinner event in Manhattan.
Sustained advertising campaign for one quarter. The campaign was executed via exclusive media buys and
placements; keeping in mind limited resources and need for maximum return on investments within the Tri-stat
(New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) area. We devised a plan to measure consumer response in each media by
suggesting a “Quiz” toward the end of the campaign, with amazing quantifiable results. Each media was issued a separat
calling number in the advertisement which were monitored for incoming calls and conversions.

Grass roots efforts via movie theaters. A very effective tool seen in this community; we selected a couple of
movie theaters (in Asian-Indian intensive areas) to put up banners and booths and promote the service. Those who
signed up received two free tickets to an upcoming movie in the theater.
