The Challenge

Turn a Government MoU Into a Credible, Multi-Market Media Moment

NTT DATA needed national and international journalists and editors to grasp the full scale of its commitment within a competitive news cycle while building institutional credibility across four languages.

What We Did

A Targeted PR Strategy for Institutional Credibility and Reach

We led with the announcement's most newsworthy elements, targeted three distinct media ecosystems and secured an executive interview through careful spokesperson preparation.

The Challenge

Turn a Government MoU Into a Credible, Multi-Market Media Moment

BOXCOM Africa identified three interconnected communication challenges:

Amplifying a Major Investment Announcement

NTT DATA needed to ensure national and international media understood the full scale of its commitment — 1,000 new direct jobs and 15 million MAD in investment — within a competitive media environment.

Positioning NTT DATA as a Strategic Partner for Morocco

Beyond the announcement itself, the campaign had to reinforce NTT DATA's long-term role in Morocco's digital transformation and economic development — building institutional credibility, not just publicity.

Reaching Multiple, Diverse Media Ecosystems

The strategy required simultaneous reach across Moroccan business media, technology publications and international outlets in four languages: Arabic, French, English and Spanish.

The Strategy

A Three-Phase Press Relations Strategy for Progressive Brand Building

BOXCOM Africa designed a focused PR and media relations campaign structured around three core actions, each amplifying reach, building credibility and ensuring resonance across all target audiences.

Strategic Press Release Development and Distribution

BOXCOM Africa handled press release writing in Morocco for the MoU announcement, leading with NTT DATA's global ranking, the 15 million MAD investment, 1,000 new jobs and its track record recruiting Moroccan graduates since 2016.

Targeted Multi-Channel Media Outreach

Outreach spanned national economic media, technology publications and international and pan-African outlets, distributed in Arabic, French, English and Spanish for maximum reach and public conversation around the announcement.

Executive Positioning and Thought Leadership

BOXCOM Africa secured a high-profile interview with NTT DATA Morocco's Managing Director in La Vie Eco, giving leadership a platform to articulate its strategic vision and commitment to Moroccan talent.

The Results

25+ Articles, Four Languages and Strong Institutional Positioning

The campaign delivered strong results across all media channels:

Media Coverage

  • 25+ media articles published across Moroccan and international outlets.
  • 23 Moroccan web outlets, one Moroccan print outlet and one international Senegalese outlet.
  • Coverage published in Arabic, French and English.
  • 183,000 MAD in Advertising Value Equivalent and 11,000+ estimated article views.

Editorial Quality and Positioning

  • The campaign achieved an average media quality rating of 8 out of 10.
  • An executive interview in La Vie Eco reinforced NTT DATA's long-term strategic narrative.
