  • Tele2
  • Norway

Everyone loves a good bargain, especially when it comes to the price-sensitive telecoms segment. In the face of stiff competition in the category, Tele2 sought to connect its brand with what it called the “Feeling of a Great Bargain” (FGB).

By using a simple expression of grammar to promote the concept of women’s rights, the program successfully jump-started a popular movement to tackle deep rooted cultural gender inequality.
