Market Mettle Launches KnowTelefónica, a New Practice with a Unique Focus on Telefónica Group

7 February 2008

LONDON, UK–February 8, 2008–Market Mettle, established publisher of customer strategy and market insight reports for the telecoms industry, today announced the launch of its KnowTelefónica practice. The practice will offer a unique focus on Telefónica Group, building on the industry-respected briefing service, Telefónicawatch.

KnowTelefónica kicks off with The Telefónica Report — Strategy and Outlook 2008-2011, available March 2008. This classic report, developed with leading telecoms analyst Alan Goode, will offer a thorough review of Telefónica today, allied with analysis and insight into short- and medium-term strategy. The Telefónica Report will be invaluable for any organisation wanting to understand Spain’s global telco giant.

KnowTelefónica provides its clients with answers to questions like:

– Who is making the big decisions, and what is the strategic and political thinking behind them?

– Are competitive battles in South America driving acquisition strategy in Europe?

– Could innovative partnering on a local scale be the key to securing global accounts?

– Can this $150bn group successfully manage the integration of major acquisitions and the accompanying mammoth debt in the current rocky financial environment?

Members of the KnowTelefónica practice will be attending Barcelona’s Mobile World Congress, February 2008. Contact us to set up a meeting, interview, or raise questions.
