Team Connect – EE, BT Consumer, BT Enterprise, BT Global and Plusnet – is led by VP client partner, Verity Campion and consists of 108 Essence specialists across client services, strategy, planning, data strategy, digital activation and reservation.
The team bases its work around four key pillars: future-proofing technology and data platforms for paid media, delivering growth through a first party audience strategy, making all things measurable and creating data-led experiences, underpinned by data privacy and ethics.
In the past year it has developed a Data Ethics Compass, a first-of-its-kind web app allowing BT to quickly and consistently evaluate the ethical risk level of data assets and track decision making to ensure the highest data integrity standards are met.
Since January 2021, the team has saved BT media spend through developing data clean rooms in new platforms, such as radio, and cross brand first-party data strategies. Work includes the Samsung Flip, the EE PhoneSmart initiative, which offers advice to children using phones for the first time and BT Hope United.
