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 2022.

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.
