Carly Gets a “Badass” New Image for Upcoming T-Mobile Ads
After the fallout of the AT&T merger, T-mobile is looking to shred it’s bubbly persona in exchange for one that’s more serious. Carly Foulkes, aka “The T-mobile Girl”, is losing the little dresses in exchange for black biker leather. T-Mobile is launching a new ad campaign, internally dubbed “No More Mr. Nice Girl.”, which will hit via TV, Hulu, Internet ads, YouTube and even print. After an extremely tough fourth quarter, T-Mobile is looking to rebuild and come out of the dust swinging. Hopefully they can get a plan going for LTE, because a new ad campaign will only take them so far. Plus, we kinda liked nice Carly.
“Clearly 2012 is a rebuilding year for T-Mobile,” said Peter DeLuca, senior-VP brand, advertising and communications. “We need to get the brand back out there and get consumers to take another look.”
