    The customers of AT&T had already said it.

    They didn't want more marketing. They wanted to know where the network dropped. So we built the map. Consumer Reports rankings up within two quarters.

The situation

AT&T wanted better ways to connect with its customers. Peter led a team working with the company’s leadership in Dallas, starting with an in-depth look at what customers were worried about and where they wanted to hear from the company.

The answer was simple enough to have been missed. Customers were dealing with dropped calls, and they wanted AT&T to tell them where coverage was weak and when it would get better, on their phones, where they’d actually see it. Many said that alone would make them more likely to stay. In a business defined by churn, that mattered.

What we did

Working up to the most senior levels of the company, the team built an interactive tool. Customers entered a zip code and saw where the network was having problems and what AT&T was doing to fix them, from new tower infrastructure to Wi-Fi access. The team then launched it with social and digital campaigns.

What changed

Within months, AT&T’s Consumer Reports ranking improved, strengthening the brand and giving customers a more direct relationship with the company. The most common complaint had become an honest conversation.

Most clients come to us at one of five moments. Here’s what the work looks like at each.

A category of one, before anyone has heard of you

Founders with a product that works and a market that doesn’t know it yet. The work is finding the one thing only you can claim, putting it in a sentence investors and reporters can repeat, and growing the story as fast as the company does, from first round to unicorn.
