focus on our communications, both online and offline, continues to drive iBAHN forward. The team at

Overview
iBAHN is a provider of digital entertainment and Internet solutions for the hospitality and meeting indus-
tries, connecting more than 1.8 million travellers, in nearly
3,000 hotels in 41 countries worldwide.
The 10 years of Broadband campaign was developed by
Liberate Media to position iBAHN in line with the tenth an-
niversary of broadband connectivity in the UK, and a number
of relevant broadband news angles focused on issues such
as the Digital Economy Bill and the Government’s proposed
broadband tax, as overviewed in the core objectives below.
Over the three phases of the campaign, iBAHN engaged directly with the broadband community via the
campaign hub and ongoing Twitter promotion. It also secured target media coverage through the launch of
survey results and resulting broadband discussions, and it now has an ongoing focal point for future discus-
sion and engagement on issues surrounding broadband and connectivity in the UK.
Objectives
The original objectives of this campaign were to:
1. Celebrate the tenth anniversary of first UK broadband consumer service and link iBAHN to this mile-
stone
2. Engage with the broadband-savvy community, and develop the conversation around the future of
broadband
3. Develop newsworthy stats that can be publicised through the campaign website, via Twitter and to
target media
1. What will be the biggest challenge for broadband networks in the next 10 years?
2. What one improvement would you suggest that broadband suppliers make?
3. How important is security to you when you connect to a broadband network?
• 72% are concerned or very concerned that the UK is reaching the limit of its broadband network
• Biggest challenge for broadband networks over the next 10 years will be increased data traffic
(38%), demand for higher speeds (19%) and security (16%)
• 92% said that security is important or essential when connecting to a broadband network
- Twitter
The Twitter campaign was developed with three main goals:
1. Engage with the 10yearsofbroadband community on a daily basis to drive interest and con-
versation
2. Allow any developments and announcements to be communicated immediately, including
new content, announcements, calls for survey responses and results launch
3. Drive traffic to the main campaign site
The Twitter community will continue to develop following the campaign and this offers iBAHN fur-
ther opportunities to discuss concerns and innovations with a broadband-savvy audience.
