Case Study: T-Mobile Un-carrier

Our case study outlines the “UN-CARRIER” Customer Value Proposition and maps it out in the LHBS Customer Value Canvas.

About “Un-carrier” Case Study

“Un-carrier” is a bold marketing initiative from T-Mobile USA launched in the beginning of 2013.

Mobile providers are often seen as notoriously insensitive to the needs, pains and expectations of their customers. T-Mobile’s “Un-carrier” was a bold and brave business move that challenged category conventions to become truly customer-centric brand.

The “Un-carrier” is a real game changer with a fully integrated customer value approach based on three main principles: simplicity, fairness and value, which brought the company 22 million new customers only in the first two years.

“Only T-Mobile breaks the rules to break you free.”
