Unitech Wireless has named ZenithOptimedia, the world’s largest media services group, as its media partner. The launch media campaigns will mirror Unitech Wireless rollout plans – advertising will break circle by circle; leveraging strong local media availability and ZenithOptimedia’s local market expertise of understanding consumer touch points in each launch market.
Unitech Wireless holds a pan-India UAS license to offer mobile telephony services in each of India’s 22 circles. It has also received spectrum to roll out these services in 21 of the 22 circles and intends to roll out its services in select circles by the end of 2009.
David Meneghello Executive Vice-President Marketing Unitech Wireless quoted “For a service that’s underpinned on the individuality of each customer, reaching them in a manner that is unique and precise would be crucial. ZenithOptimedia understood our approach, and the challenge, and impressed us with their innovations to do this effectively and efficiently. I believe we have the right partner to make our brand a success.”
David Meneghello, Executive Vice-President, Marketing, Unitech Wireless, cited “Understanding and addressing each market individually is not only our strategy but also an opportunity to get closer to the consumer and build the brand locally. This allows us to plan with precision and commit budgets that yield more. Each market we enter will have its own tailor-made media plan and spends. While modular, our spends will reflect the needs to establish a strong telecommunications brand in India.”

Uninor will be Unitech Wireless’name in India. The brand will carry the philosophy of empowering customers by unleashing opportunities in their daily lives and by placing people – both customers and employees – first. The brand also unifies the global telecom expertise of the Telenor Group and the presence in and understanding of the Indian market of Unitech Ltd. in a common brand identity.
The brand will be driven by a set of four core values – Make it Easy; Be inspiring; Keep promises and Be respectful. The brand vision – We exist to help customers get the full benefit of communication services in their daily lives.
“Uninor, as our brand, is much more than a name and a logo. It stands for a set of ideas and a way of doing business and, most importantly, a philosophy that puts people first. Our brand will be our commitment to connect people with opportunities in India,” said Stein-Erik Vellan, Managing Director, Unitech Wireless.
Uninor as the identity of Unitech Wireless’ in India emerged as an outcome of the collaboration between the company and its shareholders. The brand emerged as a clear choice that was distinctive in the market, a true representation of the organization, evocative of positive associations, memorable, easy to pronounce across regions and conducive to a bold visual identity.
