Directions (1-6): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
given below it. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while

r’s
answering some of the questions.
As the telecommunication industry spent $5.8 billion on consumer advertising
in 2003, top competitors formulated brand identities that would gain them footholds
in the industry. The Sprint PCS Group created advertising to (A) its all-digital,
nationwide service loaded with features, whereas Cellco Partnership’s Verizon
ha
Wireless, the biggest advertising spender and wireless provider in the United
States, branded Verizon Wireless as a high-quality service with its “Can You
Hear Me Now?” campaign. When Europe’s largest telecommunications company,
Deutsche Telekom AG, acquired the U.S. telecommunications companies

E
VoiceStream Wireless and Powertel, Inc., in 2001, it combined the two under the
name T-Mobile International AG & Company KG, which then stood as the sixth-
d
largest provider in the United States. The next year T-Mobile used VoiceStream’s
1998 “Get more” tagline for a campaign intended to brand T-Mobile as a service
that offered more minutes, features, and service than its competitors.
ee

For the new campaign T-Mobile chose not to renew its contract with
spokesperson and actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who had appeared in VoiceStream
commercials since 1998. To attract younger subscribers, in 2002 T-mobile hired
C
the 11-years-younger actress Catherine Zeta-Jones as the brand’s spokesperson
and awarded ad agency Publicis West a $100 million ad budget to release “Get
Sr

More.” Using television, print, outdoor, and radio mediums, the campaign first
appeared on September 3, 2002. The first 30-second commercials, which aired on
network and cable TV, featured Zeta-Jones improving people’s romantic
predicaments with a T-Mobile phone. In the spot “Czech” a disappointed young
man on vacation told a Czech woman that he could not join her in Venice because
of his dog-sitting responsibilities back home. Zeta-Jones appeared with a T-Mobile
phone so that he could ask his friend in New York to watch the dog.
