T-Mobile 2008 Recruitment Sourcing + Advertising Strategy

T-Mobile is rolling out an exciting, new employment brand to build interest in our career opportunities and share our story with potential candidates.

The new “Personal Connections” campaign is all about real stories. Your stories and the stories of other T-Mobile people—all in our own words. We’ve even created an interactive microsite to invite employees to contribute to the campaign. Take a look.

The campaign is rolling out throughout the country now. Watch for new pieces to come out throughout the year. You’ll see an integrated roll-out that includes print and online advertising, recruitment marketing collateral, radio, and an updated careers website. You’ll also see exciting new video footage and photography to complement the whole campaign.
