T-Mobile has initiated a marketing campaign, for which it appointed digital creator and comedian Druski to a fictional executive role titled Chief Switching Officer. Through this cheeky and creative strategy, the company strives to promote a new service plan called Better Value.
The Better Value plan is presented as a limited-time offering that undercuts the pricing of major competitors AT&T and Verizon. T-Mobile claims that this service will deliver over a thousand dollars in annual savings. Those who choose to opt for the Better Value plan are looking at a five-year price lock guarantee alongside a suite of standard benefits such as streaming services and international data.
T-Mobile's promotional effort with Druski as Chief Switching Officer highlights a streamlined process for transferring service, reportedly taking fifteen minutes per line through the company's mobile application.
