Evolution of Positioning for Tellas

From being:“A leading Fixed Telephony alter-native operator”

An overall fading image of down-to-earth, credible choice in voice

And also Tellas was perceived as:- Weak in innovation & technology- Not established in Internet & BB- Bureaucratic, slow-moving - Non competitive offers- Unreliable, not responsive and with

lack of transparency

…To being: “The preferred

BB and fixed player”

Now aiming to: - Establish a multi-play,

Broadband image- Develop customer-centric image - Underline change & break from

past- Rediscover reliability in

Customer Care- Offer competitive and value-for-

money propositions

HOW: Adopt a fresh new look via: - Improved Tellas image

dimensions:- Technology advanced, - Retail network, - Big company- Etc.

- A new brand architecture for Tellas product portfolio and launch of new innovative offers (i.e. laptop offer)

- A broad reach & closeness with consumers via 400-strong physical PoPs (WIND stores)
