Insights, Strategy and the Idea

In June 2011, Vodafone launched the Hakawy Collective Platform with the main objective of clear establishment of the Portfolio of the Hakawy Tariffs that we launched throughout 2010 establish Hakawy Portfolio in the customer mind, raise awareness on the on-net free value offered by all Hakawy tariffs, establish and hammer on how the different tariffs cater for different needs of the respective target segments, and to have a strong, well established platform that will endure VFE’s offers throughout the campaign. This reestablishment of the Hakawy portfolio ensured that the market is well aware of VFE’s powerful and unique tariff platform that their competition does not possess. In order to continue with this platform, we continued on in October with Hakawy Ad-On that promoted an hour for FREE during the day.
