Strategic Insights
Consumers don’t want to feel cheap. They want to feel smart. In a category built on confusing plans and the assumption that paying more means getting more, affordability could become a signal of intelligence and independence.
We developed Way Too Smart to Pay Dumb, TextNow’s first national campaign, and selected Katt Williams to give it an unmistakable voice. His cultural credibility helped turn the platform into a badge of honor for consumers who refuse to be played.
