Background

T-MOBILE OFFERINGS AND KEY MESSAGING: Your images should contain the following headlines with the included offers to message.


HELPFUL REFERENCE VIDEOS & PHOTOS FOR INSPIRATION/TONE:

This is some of the recent video and image content created on Tongal, and they're all great examples of the style we're looking for but still showcase how much diversity is possible. 

Objectives

Before we know it, it will be Spring Break: time for sun, swimming, and... sensational customer benefits. Yeah, for this vacation season, T-Mobile wants to highlight why they should be the go-to carrier for any current or potential customer who's interested in travel, exclusive perks, and a whole lot of adventure. It's time for them to showcase the exhilarating and exclusive benefits available to Magenta Status holders while encouraging viewers to elevate their Spring Break plans through T-Mobile.


The goal of this project is to produce five visually cohesive static images that highlight the perks of their new loyalty program, Magenta Status. Each static image should focus on a different perk from the list of T-Mobile offerings, which you can read more about in the Background. While the explanations of each perk may be lengthy, we are not looking for you to fit the entire message into a single image - that's T-Mobile's job when they post. Your job is to find clever and captivating ways to share the key messaging through dynamic visuals and typography. Ideally, we aim to illustrate how customers can experience their next spring vacation like a true VIP with Magenta status just by being part of T-Mobile.  


We are open to mixed media approaches so be sure to share how you would execute on the images whether you're going for full illustration, a mix of graphics and photography, or maybe even creating your very own image of a sandcastle hotel. Be sure to include engaging visuals of travel destinations, outdoor advantages, and how you plan to combine those with the Magenta Status perks such as exclusive access and discounts. Overall, we want to infuse this series with fun, dynamic, vibrant colors, and a spring break vibe while keeping T-Mobile in mind. If you have not heard it by now, T-Mobile is all about their Magenta (#E20074) color so don't be afraid to lean into their vibrant and playful personality. 


For your pitch, we highly encourage that you submit a proof of concept / first draft of an image or multiple images along with your Treatment and check out links in the Background to see what T-Mobile has created lately. This is primarily for T-Mobile employees to share too; they will do so on their personal social media accounts for their family, friends, and professional contacts. For any questions or other project updates, check out the Project Forum.


DELIVERABLES: There are 5 total photo assets.


EXPECTED TIMELINE: This is an expedited timeline with all final assets due by 3/1.


EXPOSURE: We expect content will be used on the platforms below, but if casting talent, be sure they review our required Talent Release before they're cast, as it is NOT limited to these platforms. You should also review our Music providers in the Project Requirements, as well as the platform best practices.


TARGET AUDIENCE: Employees' friends, family, business contacts, and social networks. This runs the gamut because we're talking about both corporate and in-store employees, so go for broad appeal.


TONE/FEEL: Fun, Vibrant, Engaging, Playful, Exciting, Exclusive. Stay away from anything that feels sales-y.
