Campaign management & copywriting for BT.
BT is one of the world’s leading communications services companies. Their purpose is as simple as it is ambitious: “we connect for good.”
I’ve been fortunate enough to work for BT in various capacities over the years, and spent 5+ of those golden years in-house at BT Shop, which was BT’s retail arm (before EE acquired it).
Throughout my time at BT as a Marketing Executive/ Copywriter in our e-commerce team, I had the opportunity to come up with campaign ideas…and if they had legs, we’d actually launch them. One being our award-winning ‘Smart Home Scenarios’ campaign. More on that later. I was responsible for writing copy and managing marketing campaigns alongside our in-house team (marketing, design and product) and partners (your Samsungs, your Apples). I made sure I followed BT’s tone of voice in all communications and worked closely with the BT brand teams to make sure our voice was consistent.
Our campaigns featured across key marketing channels; including out of home, landing pages, product descriptions, direct mail, email marketing, PPC, digital / retargeting ads, employee communications, affiliates and social media.
Here’s a fun PCR article about our team & our Head of Ecomm’s pretty damn cool claim to fame.
‘Be Part of the Crowd’ World Cup campaign: Samsung TV revenue was up 353% YoY. The overall Smart TV category revenue was up 145% YoY. Samsung TV units sold was up 372% YoY.
Award-winning ‘Smart Home Scenarios’ campaign: Encouraged 300% YoY revenue growth in the ‘smart home’ category and 60k unique visits to the campaign landing page. Won ‘Best Marketing & Advertising Campaign’ at the eCommerce Awards 2019.

Storytelling for our Tech Innovation campaign:
Connecting people since 1846
Our ambition is to use the power of communications to make a better world. It's fair to say we're a global leader when it comes to connecting people. In their homes. In their jobs. In their everyday lives. We're at the heart of phone calls to loved ones. Emails to friends far and wide. Even chants for your favourite football team. BT’s earliest ancestor, The Electric Telegraph Company, was the first telegraph company to develop a national network. We’re proud to celebrate our important, impressive and innovative history of connecting people over time.
But where did it all start?
We caught up with Anne, Heritage & Archives Manager based in the Holborn Telephone Exchange:
I worked alongside our Marketing Manager (& videographer) Chris to interview Anne for our campaign. It was so refreshing and inspiring to speak with someone so passionate and knowledgeable. Anne brought our campaign to life - thank you, Anne!
