Who

What
The brand definition was built around the theme of "Connecting Communities" with messaging focused on the firm's specialized knowledge of the Ontario market and community infrastructures.

Why
Municipal agencies were under pressure to upgrade the information architecture and to ensure "equal access" throughout their jurisdictions. Costly upgrades required buy-in from elected decisionmakers who tended to favor well-known multinational vendors of cable-based networks. PacketWorks needed a clear identity to create opportunities to demonstrate the wireless alternative before MUSH committees decide on their short-list..
