DIGITAL BRAND MANAGEMENT | EMLV BUSINESS SCHOOL | MSC INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
Introduction to Company
In late 2013, two former Oppo employees started a new smartphone brand called OnePlus. Their
vision was to make OnePlus phones the devices that ticked off every box Android fans needed:
great design, powerful specs, the fastest and leanest software, and a low price. The dream
became a reality in 2014 with the launch of the OnePlus One.
Since then, OnePlus has moved up from its humble beginnings as an online-only niche
smartphone maker to a literal global powerhouse. When you take a step back and realize it’s been
just over seven short years, it really is quite the achievement.
Co-founders Peter Lau and Carl Pei felt that the Android market had a real opening for the “power-
user” that wasn’t properly being represented by the Nexus line. The result was a very community-
driven campaign that reminds me of how users respond to Linux on the desktop.
The main objective of this particular audit for One Plus is where exactly the brand stands. From
the Start of One Plus journey, the brand has maintained Innovations which is the core strategy of
this brand and is maintaining a very high quality by maintaining the price at minimum, this makes
One plus stand out from its competitors.
Attributes that make One Plus a market leader:
▪ STYLISH
▪ MODERN
▪ SLEAK
▪ GENUINE
▪ DYNAMIC
▪ INCLUSIVE
▪ INNOVATION
▪ INTERESTING
▪ DISRUPTIVE
▪ CONSISTENCY
▪ INTUITIVE
▪ MULTITASKING
▪ CREDIBILTY
▪ UNIQUE

The main objective of one plus should be to Increase Sales by encouraging customers by re
purchase of new variants of one plus phones and cross selling of products like ear buds, mobile
case, warp chargers and watches as value addition.
Fix the bugs in the existing customers’’ old phones to be able to retain them.
Focus more on customer service by taking queries on social media platforms.
Focus Strategy: Launch New Product Line (One Plus Tablets)
Launching a tablet in correlation with customer needs of older
OnePlus features but also advanced features. The tablet will have
essential free apps as a promotion technique such as music and
gaming apps for a period of 6months to a year. Produce tablets in
many colors and many variants for children and adults. Educational/
recreational features for children and business features for working
professionals. The tablet can offer a wide range data plan provider for

Online Value Proposition
Segmentation Strategy
▪ OnePlus carefully selected a few countries to begin with. This helped in giving more
importance to the needs and wants of the selected market and devised a strategy for it.
▪ Data is the crucial element of this segment. They targeted all users who are so particular
about their products needs to be made out of high-quality material and want the best
specification in their smartphone.
▪ Psychographic segmentation divided the user base according to their lifestyle and values.
OnePlus segregates and targets those people whose lifestyles are more revolving around
technology, to be more specific android geeks and nerds.
▪ It is where market is divided in terms of benefits, needs and values a customer expects
from their products. OnePlus offered customers the best value for money product.
Customers benefited from high-end specifications, build quality, ergonomics and even a
better-looking phone.
Targeting Strategy
▪ Instead of trying to reach an entire market, One Plus uses target marketing to put their
energy into connecting with a specific, defined group within that market.
20. 20
DIGITAL BRAND MANAGEMENT | EMLV BUSINESS SCHOOL | MSC INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
▪ The age from 14 to 35, is their sweet spot. It includes the tech enthusiasts and Android
fans. This age group appreciate the technology and would understand the price to
performance ratio of the product. They are indeed the biggest users of smartphone. Their
usage basically consists of social media, taking pictures, using multimedia, etc.
▪ The age group from 26-35 years, is also a crucial market due to their buying power. These
age group are inclined to use the device for more productive work like sending mails, GPS,
all day battery life, heavy multitask processing capability.
Positioning Strategy
OnePlus has come up with a very bold & daring motto, “THE FLAGSHIP KILLER”. From the very
beginning it started with challenging the most selling & the highest market share holder “Apple
iPhone”. Positioning can help in creating a brand image in the minds of the target audiences
and can only be argued in the execution of what differentiates it from other brands existing in
the same market.OnePlus created massive awareness within days with their Brand Positioning
against the competitors. The phone’s technology & specs were advanced or on par with its
competitors. And at the same time, it offered a lower price for this Premium product.
With their slogan, “NEVER SETTLE”, they managed to get into customers mind as a unique
brand. For a period of time, they managed to convince the niche market that they were better
than iPhone & Samsung galaxy phones.
Target Customers
▪ Someone whose previous smartphone was a budget device that lacked sufficient RAM
and storage configuration
CUSTOMER JOURNEY
21. 21
DIGITAL BRAND MANAGEMENT | EMLV BUSINESS SCHOOL | MSC INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
▪ Someone whose previous device was an old Samsung that ran on Touchwiz or even
Samsung Experience U I.
▪ Someone who wanted to own a One plus device for a long time but have not due to
increasing prices of One plus flagships each year.
▪ Someone who wants to experience a 90hz amoled display at a less than 700 USD price
point.
▪ Someone who is specifically looking for a wide-angle selfie camera.
The usual target age group of customers ranges from the 14-35 year olds, as long as the person
has the ability to purchase and use the products that OnePlus has to offer in the market.
Teenagers to early adults (age 14-25): This age group of OnePlus product consumers is mostly
technology savvy. Teenagers can be considered one of the firm target markets that need the
smartphone for entertainment. This group of target mostly use the smart phone for socialize with
friends, listen to music and Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc.

for communicating daily.

Tool Used to perform the test: Hubspot
https://website.grader.com/fr/tests/oneplus.com
CHANNELS
24. 24
DIGITAL BRAND MANAGEMENT | EMLV BUSINESS SCHOOL | MSC INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
As per our test results, SEO rankings can be higher if the text to links is specific instead of being
generic.
Recommendation: No H1 headings are specified in the website, these headings are very important
for search engines to rank higher and help structure the content.
One Plus focus should be more on Long form content, that is even more persuasive to get more
traction from different countries. The latest trends show that focus should be more on mobile
version of the site than desktop version as almost everyone has a smartphone today with an
internet connection, It’s a good idea for one plus to focus more on Mobile SEO and the future is
voice search, The websites should invest heavily on Voice Search as more and more people are
leaning towards Voice Searching on their mobile devices.
The content should be relevant, serve a purpose and make the customer take action after
consuming the content from their articles and videos in their blog section.

Online Advertising
One Plus is currently investing very less in Paid Search Ads and Display Ads. The company
believes that, “if the product is well made, then it will bring in money organically as well”
The overall traffic received from Paid Search is 1.17% and 1.44% through Display Ads.

25. 25
DIGITAL BRAND MANAGEMENT | EMLV BUSINESS SCHOOL | MSC INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
Though One plus receives close to 61% traffic through organic search and 26% through direct
reach, The company must invest in search engine ads and social media ads to reach more people
that are matching their Ideal Customer Profile in Europe, Africa and American Countries.
This will give them a competitive edge over other brands since there is fierce competition in this
segment.
One plus should consider video advertising options in Youtube Search Engine.
By using advanced contextual targeting feature to drive mass reach for
advertising in specific contexts like their previous search results and based on
interests of the viewers can benefit the company. One Plus competitors like
Apple and Samsung are already starting to make the most out of
YouTube’s reach and relevant content to meet their business goals.
One plus should invest heavily in Google Search Ads and Google Shopping
Ads will boost the traffic to the ecommerce site and One plus should have a
strategy to retain the users who visited this page by providing exciting offers
and Product details with interesting options like to add to the waiting list for new
product launches and offers for the previous models of one plus. Remarketing
ads for the users who viewed a particular section of e-commerce page or when
performed a specific task will get more returns for the company.
One plus should invest heavily in social media ads like Facebook, Instagram to
appear on accounts and stories ads which is more effective and also messenger
ads to stay in the loop on customer’s mind. One plus can also collaborate with
micro influencers on Snapchat and Tik tok as they have very little to no presence
on these platforms.
One plus should also consider investing in alternate search engines like Baidu
and Bing so that they don’t miss out on any opportunity to get hold of new
customers.
26. 26
DIGITAL BRAND MANAGEMENT | EMLV BUSINESS SCHOOL | MSC INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
One plus must consider SMS Marketing as the open rate is more and also One
plus can make it more effective when SMS can be used to wish the existing
customers on their birthdays and important events as this will improve the trust
on the brand and also people like to receive the messages that are personalized.
A Call-to-action link to an SMS Landing page will make it even more interesting
as this feature is very less explored by brands and One plus can greatly benefit
From this strategy.
One plus is currently making very less use of the email collected in the landing
page and their apps, One plus should make use of this tool as the conversion rate
is more than any other tool and the amount spent will be very less compared to
other tools but if used effectively can make one plus a leader in global smartphone
segment. Email campaigns for tutorials about making videos, taking good pictures
can be more effective and helps in retention and upselling of related products.

E-commerce and M-commerce
Currently one plus is utilizing the m-commerce and e-commerce to the maximum, the navigation
is easier, it will more effective to use the Augmented Reality in their application and desktop
version of e-commerce site to let the users know and have a good look how the devices look in
real life will pay off greatly considering the AR usage is on upward trend, one plus must consider
using this strategy to be creative and make a lasting impression on their target customers.
One plus has crafted unique Share the video if you (user) too are an achiever and Never Settle
for anything less than the best. Our proposed content strategy is long form video content.
Link to the Video: https://youtu.be/NbPBrXJ4FlY?t=4
Was shared on their Youtube channel in Mar 2016 with over 1M views- The film shows a bunch
of young people going about their lives and doing things, with a thickly accented voiceover working
to sew the pieces of their lives together.
THE CONTENT (STORYTELLING)
27. 27
DIGITAL BRAND MANAGEMENT | EMLV BUSINESS SCHOOL | MSC INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS
The campaign aimed was to touch that emotional chord with their audience and inspire them to
push themselves to try once more, to give things another go and then another, as that’s what
makes the difference between good and great the brief given by the client was very clear in its
requirement: no specific product features to be highlighted and just convey what we stand for as
a brand.
OnePlus is a young company always pushing its limits. OnePlus has never been
only a phone. OnePlus mantra “Never Settle” was created with the idea in mind
to always work to improve the user experience for their fans.
OnePlus creates together, hand-in-hand with users, to invent, develop, and
challenge the way tech works. It’s the community who makes OnePlus better
every day. OnePlus was born out of a simple, bold idea: make a better phone.
But, not just a better phone – a better way of doing things. Its spirit to ‘Never
Settle’ drove it to go ahead with nothing less than extraordinary. This ‘OnePlus’ spirit exists in all
of us. While we may have achieved something, we still believe that we can do better. This video
is for all those who Never Settle and believe that the best is yet to come. They push themselves
to try once more, and give that another shot and then another one to make things better than the
best.

In order to measure the effectiveness of the proposed content strategy, several key performance
indicators, KPIs, can be applied to measure level of success of the Storytelling Campaign.
Paid Media
Search Engine Ads: Google Search Ads is arguably the most powerful ad platform when it
comes to matching your promotion with user intent. Since it’s a story telling content,
tracking Impressions are very important. It is important to set the time frame to know the
impression count for the promotion of the content. It is also important to note the number
of clicks of the ad and analyse it every day. Average CPC helps to know the amount spent
on the campaign since the beginning. When the user takes a specific action i.e the
conversions are tracked to know the data about the users who visits a specific page of One
Plus site. For instance, our proposed content strategy can be published in google ads and
can be redirected to the ecommerce section of the one plus website.
YouTube Ads: Core engagement performance can be measure by the number of views and
engagements the video ad receives on a daily basis. Average watch time is another important
metric to know how someone watched the video ad in YouTube. YouTube ads should be
redirected to the product page to spike the curiosity amongst the viewers.
Sponsored Social Media Posts: The storytelling videos are repurposed then in social media and
Engagement is the key metric that helps us know how many people are interacting on the page
and with the content. Engagement will be measure based on the number of likes, retweets,
comments, shares. Click-through-rate can also be measured in social media ads which is
important to data to find out if the content is resonating with the audience. For instance, Sponsored
Instagram, Facebook and Twitter Ads can boost the engagement and also can generate a lot of
buzz for our proposed content strategy.
3rd
party e-commerce advertising: By advertising in platforms like Amazon, Flipkart and Snapdeal
the key metrics can be measured in the form of landing page bounce rate of the platform and also
the heat map whether to know the users are clicking on call-to-action buttons.
We recommend using the Story telling content videos and re purpose it in social media platforms
and also the videos to be promoted on Search Engines to gain lot of traction to their website’s
ecommerce section.
Owned Media
