Discover how Telstra Purple overcame the challenge of disjointed customer-facing messaging in a rapidly changing digital workspace landscape. Leveraging a strategic and creative 'Workplace Experience' narrative, they accelerated product launches, empowered a 500+ strong salesforce, and laid the groundwork for revenue growth through integrated offerings—all in just 4 months.
The Challenge
Digital transformation initiatives have been driving change in the workplace for years, but the pandemic ushered in a total change in mindset—and Telstra Purple wanted to lead the new workplace narrative.
Telstra Purple has over 1,500 professional and managed services experts, co-developed workplace solutions with partners like Microsoft, and all powered by the advanced network and adaptive capabilities of Telstra, the largest telco in Australia. But they were often not combining these capabilities in customer-facing workplace messaging and solutions. Plus, time was of the essence – they needed to move fast to claim a leadership position in a competitive market.
The Solution
We developed a strategy and creative narrative for the whole workplace portfolio, redefining it as ‘Workplace Experience’ to capture the focus on tailoring to individuals, based on Telstra and Telstra Purple’s unique mix of human-centred design, software, hardware, and connectivity.
By harnessing our deep industry knowledge and understanding of Telstra Purple’s unique range of capabilities, we identified an opportunity to generate more sales. We created a modular approach to solution building, combining four core elements around applications, services, connectivity, and physical tools.
Why Telstra Purple's results are remarkable
In just 4 months, Telstra Purple launched a new, unified Workplace Experience narrative, significantly accelerating time-to-market for key products like Mobile Workplace and Microsoft 365 based solutions. By shifting the sales approach from product-centric to outcome-based, we've not only streamlined customization for clients but also laid the groundwork for increased revenue through integrated offerings.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
