Brief
Already recognised as a major player in the US and UK, TuneIn was looking at growing popularity and its user base in continental Europe and in particular France.
Strategy
In association with PR agency Allison+Partners France, 3WM implemented a strategy in three stages, using different pitches and information: Firstly, to approach IT, mobile and new technologies media and blogs (otherwise known as “geeks”) so TuneIn can be vetted by opinion leaders and independent bloggers. 3WM then targeted professional media specialised in telecommunications and radio industry to consolidate TuneIn’s business model. The final target was generic consumer media, which allowed for TuneIn to be promoted to the largest audience, and get a maximum of people downloading and using the app.
During this eight month campaign, A+P and 3WM developed a variety of topical and technical content
