The Relationship
LBi and BT have worked together for more than eight years now, with engagements covering every possible digital channel and interaction. From designing BT.com, one of Europe's largest e-commerce channels, via helping BT evolve its brand in the rich application space, right up to building the unique social commerce platform that is Tradespace, LBi remains BT's most significant and trusted partner in the digital space.
The Work
Today, LBi is proud to work with BT as their retained Digital Agency of Record across Consumer, Business and Tradespace divisions. In the last 12 months alone, we've delivered against more than a hundred individual briefs, with the following key project milestones reached:
* A complete re-launch of BT.com for Consumer, delivering an entirely new design and experience over a legacy Customer Management System (CMS), to keep costs and change management to a minimum
* Re-design of BT Business on a new CMS platform
* New magazine site On Vision for BT Vision, a defining moment for BT.com in making it a content destination as well as a sales channel
* Re-design of the Your Account areas for consumers, offering enhanced functionality and improved features for billing and account management
* Rich application development and prototypes for BT's Global Financial Services division, aimed at the trading marketplace
* Integration of 'BT Family' from the ATL campaigns with BT.com for the first time
* Re-development of BT's social commerce platform Tradespace: an end-to-end re-design and development programme for this unique SME community (launch autumn 2009)
Together, we have designed ways of working that offer BT the flexibility and agility they need to get rapid and continual changes launched online faster than ever before. Coupled with a measurement and Key Performance Indicator (KPI) framework involving our analyst experts, we have underpinned the evolution of the site with a robust 'test and learn' strategy to deliver continual improvements in sales and performance.

LBi’s SYRUP wins ‘International people’s voice award’ at the WEBBY’s
Syrup’s Hello FRA campaign is this years People’s Voice Award Winner in Interactive Advertising at the 13th Annual Webby Awards.
Hailed as the “Internets highest honour” by the New York Times, 500,000 people voted for their favourite websites, videos and ads. Syrup Stockholm will pick up their award in New York on 8th June, fans will be able to watch the ceremony, including Syrup’s ‘5 word only’ speech via YouTube.
Hello FRA is the campaign that introduced digital disobedience to the net. In spring 2008, the Swedish government proposed a new law that makes mass-surveillance of e-mail-traffic, sms, phones, etc. possible of Swedes without suspicions of illegal activity. With the campaign Hello FRA, the little independent newspaper Fria Tidningen, gave people the opportunity to sabotage the new law and join the fight.
Syrup created a simple standard text that people can put in their e-mails that makes FRA’s computerized search programs react. This will make the FRA’s digital e-mail filters busy analyzing ordinary e-mails, and will make their million-dollar investment worthless. With a simple mail signature people can spread the word through their daily mail communication. The text can be changed randomly with different “dangerous” trigger words. Without any media investment, the campaign spread instantly,, e-mail to e-mail and blog to blog.
Fredrik Lundgren, Creative Director at Syrup, “The beauty of the campaign is that it shows that people wish to be part of the message. A very simple way to use the social functions on the net and give people a tool to express their view”.
Jonas Sandström, marketing director at Fria Tidningen, “The first time I got an email with a Hello FRA-signature in my mailbox from an outside contact; I realized the extent of the campaign.”
The 13th Annual Webby Awards received nearly 10,000 entries from over 60 countries and all 50 states.
