Although VMA has less punch in the post paid and business sectors its advantage is that when it comes to marketing it can focus on a more defined audience. The opportunity was to focus entirely on the youth audience and create a brand platform that was exclusively relevant to them. Once focused two basic insights helped shape our platform. Firstly this audience use their phone almost exclusively for social reasons. What is important to them keeping in touch with their friends. As a price sensitive audience the overwhelming communication tool of choice is text messaging. Secondly analysis of the market was already showing that the Warren campaign was attracting high volume groups of texters (not surprising given the 5c Virgin to Virgin Text rate that he promoted) and that Virgin users were amongst the highest texters in the market.4 The implication was cost effective messaging was crucial to this audience and the core takeout from the Warren campaign. Our messaging capability would be further strengthened by 25c photo messaging. Youth Messaging was the logical brand platform to adopt. This meant our strategy needed to be about messaging (both Retail Or Distribution and text) rather than just Retail Or Distributions.
