You invested in building the network. It’s time to Maximize its potential! 

BroadbandIQ is a specialized broadband marketing and advertising division of CMOco Marketing & Advertising, helping regional telecommunications companies, independent internet service providers (ISPs), municipal broadband providers and electric cooperatives attract subscribers, increase market penetration and grow revenue.

From launching new broadband services to expanding into competitive markets and converting existing customers to fiber, we develop and execute marketing strategies designed around the unique challenges of the telecommunications industry.

We don’t just market broadband. We help broadband businesses grow.

YOUR NETWORK IS BUILT FOR GROWTH. YOUR MARKETING SHOULD BE TOO.

Broadband providers face challenges that go well beyond traditional marketing.

You’ve invested significant resources in building and expanding your network. But infrastructure alone doesn’t guarantee subscriber adoption or revenue growth.

Whether you’re introducing broadband to a new community, competing against national providers or transitioning existing customers to fiber, success requires a strategy that connects network availability with customer demand.

We help broadband providers address the challenges that directly impact growth:

  • Subscriber Acquisition: Turn service availability into new subscriptions.
  • Market Penetration: Increase adoption and take rates in service areas.
  • Fiber Conversion: Move existing customers to upgraded fiber networks.
  • Competitive Positioning: Differentiate your services from competitors.
  • Customer Retention: Strengthen loyalty and reduce churn.
  • Marketing & Operational Alignment: Align demand, sales and installation capacity.

Strategic Marketing & Growth Planning

Every successful broadband marketing initiative begins with a clear understanding of your market, customers, competition and business objectives. We develop comprehensive marketing strategies that align your growth goals with the realities of your service territory, network expansion plans and operational capacity. Our strategic services include market and competitive analysis, customer segmentation, brand positioning, subscriber acquisition planning, marketing budget development, campaign strategy and performance measurement.

Broadband Launch & Market Expansion

Launching broadband services or entering a new market requires more than announcing availability. We create integrated campaigns that build awareness, educate potential customers, generate interest and drive subscriptions as service areas become available. From pre-launch communications and pre-registration campaigns to neighborhood-level digital advertising and direct mail, we help providers maximize the opportunity in every new market.

Subscriber Acquisition & Digital Advertising

Reaching the right households at the right time is essential to driving subscriber growth. We develop targeted, multichannel advertising campaigns designed to reach prospective customers within your service areas, communicate your competitive advantages and generate qualified leads. Our capabilities include a host of digital advertising products, direct mail, email marketing and conversion-focused landing pages.

Fiber Migration & Customer Conversion

For providers upgrading existing networks from coaxial cable or other technologies to fiber, customer conversion presents a unique marketing challenge. Customers may already be satisfied with their current service and see little reason to make a change. We develop strategic communication programs that explain the benefits of fiber, build confidence in the transition, reduce installation concerns and motivate customers to schedule their upgrades. Our approach connects customer education, relevant messaging, service availability and clear calls to action with installation scheduling and operational readiness.

Brand Strategy, Creative & Content Development

We help broadband providers communicate their value through compelling brand positioning, campaign development, graphic design, video production, website content, social media, public relations and community engagement.

Marketing Analytics & Performance Optimization

Effective broadband marketing requires more than reporting advertising activity. We help providers establish meaningful performance indicators, evaluate campaign effectiveness and identify opportunities to improve subscriber acquisition and conversion.

Television & Digital Video

Tap into digital marketing initiatives that are measurable and flexible and can expand and contract with your business as needed. There are so many options and not every approach will be best for you. Based on your target consumer, CMOco will assess and recommend that best digital marketing strategy for you that will deliver the best results for your money!

Outdoor Billboards

Outdoor billboards can be very useful for Broadband clients when they are rolling out service in stages. CMOco targets specific areas or neighborhoods with a specific message just for that area. Billboards that are carefully researched for placement can be a powerful advertising tool reaching multiple people all at once.

Social Media Examples

Leverage social media whenever you can to get the word out about your company. It is especially useful for a broadband provider to promote pricing information, service features and availability updates. We know it’s super time consuming and hard to come up with good content. But, that’s what we are here for! CMOco will determine which social platforms make the most sense for your business (not all will). Then we utilize those platforms with both organic and paid tactics to maximize your share of voice and reach as many of your target consumers as possible.

Direct Mail

Direct Mail works well for a campaign where the intended audience really does want to know about the product that you are offering. In this case, local Fiber Broadband services in areas that are either underserved, or already have service that is either inferior or overpriced.

Case Study

The video case study below was created to highlight how CMOco worked with LCUB, a municipal utility provider that is launching fiber broadband services to its electric customers. CMOco was brought in very early in the process to help encourage pre-registration. We developed an entire Broadband section on their website with information on how to signup for service along with all of the services offerings.

Broadband Provider’s FAQ’s

What does a broadband marketing agency do?

A broadband marketing agency helps internet service providers, telecommunications companies and municipal broadband operators attract subscribers, increase market penetration and grow revenue. Services can include marketing strategy, subscriber acquisition campaigns, digital advertising, brand development, fiber conversion communications and customer retention programs.

How can broadband providers increase subscriber acquisition?

Broadband providers can improve subscriber acquisition through targeted marketing within serviceable areas, clear competitive positioning, localized advertising, customer education and streamlined sign-up experiences. Effective strategies align marketing activity with network availability, customer demand and installation capacity.

How do you market a new fiber broadband service?

Marketing a new fiber broadband service typically involves building awareness before launch, educating residents about the benefits, generating pre-registrations, communicating service availability and encouraging customers to schedule installation. Campaigns should be coordinated with construction timelines and operational capacity.

How can local ISPs compete with national internet providers?

Local ISPs can compete by emphasizing customer service, community relationships, service reliability, transparent value and local accountability. Targeted marketing helps providers reach the right households, communicate their advantages and compete more efficiently without matching national advertising budgets.

How do you encourage existing customers to switch to fiber?
