highlights:

We specialize in providing support for technology companies launching new products. Some clients ask us to take care of all the marketing communications for a launch, including messaging, creative, and tactical implementation, while others prefer to do most of the work themselves, using us only for creative ideas.

This product launch project for the Sierra Wireless Smart SIM was one of several in which we provided the creative ideas.

details:

In late 2015, Sierra Wireless asked us to help develop concepts for the launch of their new global SIM. SIM cards used in Internet of Things devices have entirely different requirements from regular consumer SIMs used in cell phones. The Sierra Wireless Smart SIM and Connectivity Service deliver multi-operator coverage, superior data service quality, and resilience to outages for global, regional or local applications. The Smart SIM was one of the first to support the new GSMA eSIM/eUICC specification for remote operator provisioning critical for many new IoT use cases.

The client provided a messaging framework, competitive positioning, and use cases. Our task was to develop key messaging, creative, and diagrams that would be used on the Sierra Wireless website and in presentations. The creative assets would be also be used for trade shows, online ads, and other marketing communications.

We developed several ideas and one of these, which highlighted the global aspect of the SIM, was used for the key creative. It featured a multi-national swirl of flags passing through a photograph of the SIM, and the message ‘Your IoT passport to the world’. We were fortunate in being able to secure one of the few prototypes to do a quick photo shoot and were able to use the photos in the creative, and to provide them to the client for use as standard product images.

We then developed screen flats to show how the creative and messaging would be implemented on the client’s website, a simple diagram to explain the key features of the SIM, and diagrams and icons to support the rollout of the SIM in presentations and on the website.
