Customer Storytelling | Ericsson
Celebrating customer innovation while solidifying the relationship
Background: Ericsson was relaunching their Services function, under a new positioning and with a newly transformed AI-driven offering. They have customers, mobile operators, for their AI-driven services all over the world, in contracts that can be short or long term. They wanted us to engage their customers on behalf of them, to uncover their stories of innovation and impact throughout their organizations, and then develop a framework for these stories and turn them into marketing assets.
The goals were to grow their Services business while strengthening their customer relationships in order to extend and expand the contracts.
