Product

Telstra's new data plan for rural Australia.

Problem

In rural Australia the phone reception is abysmal. Service providers neglect and consider it as less of a priority (if one at all) to metropolitan areas.

Insight

You can drive for hours in the outback accompanied by only dirt and farm fences.

Solution

Show that Telstra understands the needs of rural Australia and is putting them first, and like the humble farm fence they're connecting the sticks.


This is a student project only.

PR

Telstra upgrades rural fences across Australia with materials from recycled mobile phones.
