August 13, 2009

Company using social media tools to build and promote brand awareness

GREENVILLE, SC – August 13, 2009 – NuVox, a leading competitive communications provider of voice, data, business applications, and security solutions for business customers throughout the Southeast and Midwest, recently launched a Social Media campaign to increase brand awareness and establish a greater presence on the web. NuVox’s overall marketing strategy combines social media tactics and traditional public relations practices to promote the NuVox brand to its target customers.

The Social Media campaign will build awareness of NuVox’s products and services by using the latest social media tools. By incorporating social media into its marketing strategy, NuVox extends its overall reach making information on products and services more accessible. With a presence on Facebook, Twitter, Delicious, Flickr, and the NuVox YouTube Channel, these social media networking sites act as an effective outlet for releasing information to key audiences.

Our Marketing team is constantly exploring and developing creative ways to promote the NuVox brand to small and medium- sized businesses, said Sid Earley, Vice President of Marketing for NuVox. Utilizing social media tools allows us to target customers, prospects, dealers, vendor partners, referral agents, and friends. We believe this initiative will boost our presence on the web and allow us to continue building brand awareness for NuVox.

One of NuVox’s most recent social media endeavors included launching a series of funny, yet informative videos on YouTube. The videos, featuring the NuVox Office Genie, are available on NuVox’s YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/NuVoxComm. Thus far, the company has released six videos:

  • The NuVox Office Genie Goes on a Sales Call
  • The NuVox Office Genie Follows his Dream
  • The NuVox Office Genie Goes for the Green
  • Meet the NuVox Office Genie
  • NuVox Office Genie Video Conference
  • SIP BeatVox with NuVox Office Genie

Using YouTube as the platform to launch this campaign further builds on NuVox’s relationship with Google that began earlier this year with the launch of NuVox Business Apps powered by Google. NuVox plans to continue releasing videos throughout the remainder of 2009.
