Destination

In recent years Motorola has enjoyed substantial growth, due in part to an improved product portfolio which includes iconic handsets such as the Razr V3.

Keen to capitalise on and sustain this growth, Motorola engaged MindShare ATG to partner with them to optimise their marketing strategy and achieve their primary objective of becoming the number one in the category despite the challenge of having low marketing budgets vs. competitors.

Simply put, the business needed to know how much and where to invest across their sophisticated portfolio to reach their ambitious target.
