VODAFONE ANNOUNCES MAJOR NEW FOOTBALL SPONSORSHIP

 

                 Three year sponsorship of the UEFA Cup Finals and UEFA Super Cup

 

                 Complements existing UEFA Champions League deal

 

As the UEFA Cup approaches its quarter-final stages, Vodafone today broadens its European football portfolio with the announcement of an exclusive three year agreement to sponsor the competition’s finals and the UEFA Super Cup. This adds to Vodafone’s existing deal as both an Official Partner and the Official Mobile Network of the UEFA Champions League, Europe’s premier club competition.

 

The new agreement will run until June 2009 and cover three UEFA Cup Finals, including this year’s in Glasgow, and two UEFA Super Cups. Vodafone will benefit from on screen branding during the international broadcast of the UEFA Super Cup, UEFA Cup quarter-finals, semi-finals and the Final plus perimeter board exposure, brand association rights, corporate hospitality and experiential opportunities at both Finals.

 

“Less than a year into our backing of the UEFA Champions League, we have already become one of the most recognised sponsors of the tournament. This new partnership with the UEFA Cup Finals and the UEFA Super Cup, allows us to expand our successful association with European football and consolidate our position as a leading brand involved in the game,” said David Wheldon, Director of Brand and Customer Experience, Vodafone.

 

 “Vodafone helps football fans to make the most of their time by providing immediate access to the latest football news and information via their mobile phones, whenever and wherever  they want it. This agreement enables us to promote our products and services in context of the UEFA Cup and UEFA Super Cup.”

 

“We are delighted that Vodafone has decided to extend their partnership with UEFA to become partner in its European top club competitions.” said Philippe Le Floc’h, Director Marketing & Media Rights at UEFA. “For UEFA this partnership means that we are in the fortunate position to be working with one of the global top brands on an even wider basis also for the benefit of the UEFA Cup competition and the UEFA Super Cup.”

 


 

This new partnership will give Vodafone customers access to a wide range of marketing rights around these additional tournaments as well as the UEFA Champions League, the world’s largest and most prestigious club competition.

VODAFONE AND SAGEM COMMUNICATION SIGN NEW HANDSET AGREEMENT

 

Sagem Communication to supply Vodafone-branded mobile phone demonstrating a further extension of Vodafone’s Original Design Manufacturers’ Strategy

 

Vodafone Group and Sagem Communication (SAFRAN Group) today announce the signing of an agreement to produce a Vodafone-only branded mobile handset for sale across Vodafone markets. This handset is scheduled for release by June 2007.

 

The agreement is an extension of Vodafone’s Original Design Manufacturers’ strategy. Given that design plays an essential role in the customer’s eyes, the handset at the backbone of this new agreement will be extra-slim, embedding all the main GSM features plus an eye-catching 65K-colour screen.

 

Vodafone has stated that it intends to use the international recognition of its brand to help to leverage the production of a series of high-quality, competitively priced handsets which will only carry the Vodafone name, and the Sagem Communication agreement is a further extension of the delivery of this extensive Vodafone-branded range.

 

Jens Schulte-Bockum, Global Director of Terminals at Vodafone added: “Vodafone’s Original Design Manufacturers’ strategy is intended to use Vodafone’s size and purchasing power to engage with the best white label handset makers and then use the power of the Vodafone brand to bring their products to market. We are pleased that we have signed this agreement with Sagem Communication which will build on their experience in European markets to create for us a high quality and affordable handset for sale across Vodafone’s markets.”

 

Thierry Buffenoir, deputy CEO of Sagem Communication, stated that “the deal signed with Vodafone is proof of our ability to deploy core expertise and offer our partners tailor-made solutions. Designing and producing handsets to be marketed under other brand names than our own is one of the key pillars in Sagem Communication’s business strategy for 2007. We’re delighted to kick-start this new business area by releasing a quality product inspired by the latest trends and that will offer consumers something they’ve always dreamed of.”

VODAFONE SELECTS ERICSSON FOR EUROPEAN-WIDE MANAGED SERVICES CONTRACT FOR ITS NETWORK SPARE PARTS

 

 

AGREEMENT SET TO DELIVER GREATER EFFICIENCIES TO VODAFONE

 

Vodafone has selected Ericsson to manage the supply and distribution of spare parts for its mobile networks across several of its major European operating companies including Germany, Spain and Portugal.

 

Under the multi-million euro deal, Ericsson will assume responsibility for the logistics, warehousing, repair and replacement of multi-vendor spare parts in the selected operating companies. This is expected to deliver greater cost efficiencies to Vodafone through lower average prices for the management process of spares, as well as enhanced service levels.

 

The agreement will cover the end-to-end management of spare parts for 2G, 3G and transmission equipment in the selected European operating companies.

 

The initiative forms part of Vodafone’s cost reduction strategy as each Vodafone operating company currently runs its own spare parts operation. It will also enable the company to focus more on its core business of enhancing network performance, as well as delivering more attractive services to customers.

 

Working under service level agreements, Ericsson is tasked with taking advantage of its expertise in the managed service sector to deliver an enhanced and added-value service to Vodafone operating companies.

 

Other benefits to Vodafone include the harmonisation of the spare parts supply process, greater price transparency for the provision of services, as well as removing the need for further investment in stocks of spare parts for the future. The agreement is also expected to deliver greater savings by channelling spare part purchases in all participating operating companies through a single supplier.

 


 

The deal will be effective from April 2007 and the service will be implemented in the participating Vodafone operating companies in the course of this year. During that time, Vodafone will also have the option to further extend the agreement to additional operating companies.

 

Commenting on the deal, Detlef Schultz, Vodafone Global Director for Supply Chain Management said: “This initiative is another example of how Vodafone is looking for more and more innovative ways to deliver on its cost reduction strategy in Europe. By agreeing this managed services contract with Ericsson, we will be even better placed to focus on our customers and give them an even better mobile experience.”

 

Hans Vestberg, Executive Vice President and Head of Business Unit Global Services, Ericsson, said: “Vodafone has truly been in the forefront demonstrating their innovative approach which has been a key success factor when developing this solution. This agreement will bring further benefits from leveraging on economies of scale and skill across several countries. We are extremely proud to extend our partnership with Vodafone, breaking new ground together. This is an evolution of Ericsson’s managed services capabilities, enabling operators to outsource their entire supply chain of spare parts. This is also to date one of the biggest contracts for multi-vendor spare parts management.”
