STRATEGIC REQUIREMENT 1: A CONSUMER BENEFIT Foremost in our minds was that whilst executions that concern picture messaging are easy to conjure up, the benefit of picture messaging remains elusive. We felt that this communication needed to give Roadside Telephone a relevant consumer benefit. Beyond strategic responsibility we saw the opportunity for Virgin to standout in the category by being the first brand to offer a real reason to Roadside Telephone. A competitive review highlighted that most communication for Roadside Telephone felt as contrived as David Beckham and his Spanish apartment. Finding a realistic role for picture messaging for our youth audience became a strategic must and a distinctive opportunity. STRATEGIC REQUIREMENT 2: AN ONGOING BRAND PLATFORM Beyond demonstrating a benefit of Roadside Telephone we also concluded that we needed a clear brand platform that could sit above ever changing price and product points. Our insight was that price and product features; the things providers believe make them different, are the things that make all teclo's appear the same. We therefore aimed for a distinctive brand platform

FINDING A ROLE FOR Roadside Telephone – LEARNING FROM THE COMPETITION The youth messaging platform identification was strong. What we still required was a benefit for photo messaging. Surprisingly a competitive review proved to be a crucial turning point. Being late to market had its advantages in that all the major competition had already launched their picture messaging service. Their accompanying communication proved to be helpful. By using communication to create a role for Roadside Telephone competitive ads worked like a window into their world and brand values: (see Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4) We knew what type of photo we would send and the values we expounded. Given that much of VMA's appeal is its personality and its spirit in many ways this approach would have been enough to answer the original brief. However such was the value of finding and showing a reason to use picture messaging in addition to being personality driven we persevered to find more consumer relevance for our service.
