Telstra: A Content Strategy & Digital Experience to educate wifi customers
Bluemelon we worked with Telstra to create a content strategy as well as a Digital Experience to educate wifi customers.
Telstra is Australia’s leading telecommunications and technology company, offering a full range of communications services and competing in all telecommunications markets. In Australia they provide over 20 million mobile, telephone and internet services. The company’s ethos is that the more connected people are, the more opportunities they have. That's why they help create a brilliant connected future for everyone, everyday.
Not everyone has the same level of knowledge about Wi-Fi.
Many customers would understandably panic when it looked like something was not right with their Wi-Fi, and so they would call Telstra. But most of the time the issue could be solved very simply, with a bit of basic knowledge.
Shift customer behaviour.
A basic education about Wi-Fi was needed to empower the audience, improve their confidence and save time.
Empathy and expertise are the keys to influence.
BlueMelon Design drew on the collective expertise of Telstra’s internal Wi-Fi team and turned it into valuable content. The new content acknowledged the customer’s pain point and used storytelling to cut through.

Content Audit
A content audit of Telstra’s current offering as well as the landscape of internet troubleshooting content showed us where Telstra was going wrong and where the content opportunity lied.
Strategic Storytelling
Telstra’s existing content around ‘Wi-Fi Troubleshooting’ was very technical and corporate. By editorialising the topic in a blog post, we were able to acknowledge and diffuse the customer’s heightened emotional state of frustration and make them more receptive to the helpful tips and tricks.
SEO-led Content
Keyword research showed us that customers do not view their wifi problem as a ‘slow wifi’, but that to them it was rather ‘slow internet’. Identifying this key point was crucial to the positioning of the content.
A/B Testing
The campaign had three unique target audiences and we needed to reach all of them with the same tips. We designed a specific rollout of social posts for each audience that we A/B tested to ensure our contact would have maximum impact.
“The BlueMelon team are amazing!! They brought a fresh perspective, with every recommendation being backed by solid data. They really know content marketing.”
