  • Our solution

    VIM placed a team on site in the Bucharest Romtelecom offices. The success of such a large rebrand in such a tight time frame required tight, consultative project management.

    Our role involved brand implementation, end-to-end brand governance, brand and product consultancy, copywriting, IT consultancy and brand guardianship.

Romania turns on magenta, fully embracing our universal brand belief that life is about sharing and being connected every time, everywhere.

Hans-Christian Schwingen, Chief Brand Officer

  • The results

    Launch events were held in Berlin, Bucharest, Iasi and Cluj, and were attended by 50,000 people.

    The Telekom Romania rebrand was covered in over 300 articles in the national and international media, and the new brand launch was called “The Romanian business event of the decade” – Telekom.

    The project was extended through to post launch and remains ongoing with the objective of monitoring the delivery of the brand both physically and emotionally, whilst ensuring brand consistency.
