2. How can we
cure banner
blindness?
The average mobile customer sees
50 to 100 banner ads every day.
The result?
Banner blindness.
3. How can Sprint stand out?
Tell stories.
Today’s SFL ads blend in. Why?
They lack human connection. Instead we should:
Sit on customers’
side of the table.
Convey that we’re like
them and understand
them, not that we’re
trying to “get” something
from them.
Reflect customers’
current reality.
Customers decide to
buy for different reasons
during different seasons.
Varying the message
increases visibility.
Sell problems we
solve, not products.
Forefront customers’
everyday struggles,
not the features of our
solution. Stop talking
about ourselves.
4. How did we arrive at
this recommendation?
Research.
First, we listened to parents, to discover not
just what they want from their phones or wireless
carriers, but what they need in their lives.
Then we compared the stresses parents revealed
most—feeling stretched thin and worrying that they
fall short—to SFL features, to discern benefits.
Last, we designed a campaign that will resonate
with parents by linking to concrete, specific
experiences and speaking their language.

One of parents’ top
stressors is keeping
track of multiple
schedules and playing
chauffeur.
With Sprint Family
Locator, they can see
where everyone is, any
time, at a glance.

Children learn a lot
in school, but not
everything.
It’s up to parents to
set boundaries and
gradually broaden them.
Sprint Family Locator
can help.

Most parents wish they
could follow kids around
everywhere, just to
make sure they’re being
safe and smart.
This very powerful
message links Sprint
Family Locator to the
fulfillment of that wish.

Store
Locator
For many parents,
“back to school” means
“time to shop.”
What could be more
important than a service
that easily lets parents
know kids get where
they need to go, safely?

Parents tell us they get
worn down by worry.
They have to keep
track of their own
responsibilities, and
make sure kids have
what they need, from
food and shelter to
chances to stretch
and learn.
They can’t do it alone.

Many parents say the
“trigger” for getting kids
phones is a transition: to
new activities, to middle
school, to high school.
With new phones come
new responsibilities and
new things to learn, for
kids and parents.
