The end goal of these co-marketing opportunities is to help our partners enjoy greater success measured by shorter sales cycles and higher probability of winning new business and customers in 2023.

Whether you are entering a new market vertical (e.g. education, transportation, manufacturing), or launching a new solutions bundle (e.g. Wi-Fi, security, audio/visual), here are some examples of joint marketing activities that Tellabs’ marketing is happy to assist:

  • Co-Branded Collateral – We have collateral such as short executive summaries and more technical overviews specifically written for market verticals that can be co-branded by our partners by adding your logo and your contact information.
  • Joint Events – Tellabs welcomes the opportunity to partner at an industry event. An event can be a small seminar or tech day or a large conference. We can also help strategize on how best to secure joint speaking opportunities at the events we attend.

It is our desire to work with our partners to write and publish such articles and blogs.

Tellabs welcomes the opportunity to do joint news releases with partners and we can manage the creation and North American distribution of the joint announcements. For example, often we will coordinate a national news release that announces the availability of a co-marketed case study.
