Relaunching and supporting an accessible broadband startup.
Our Client: Kwikbit Internet, the leading provider of wireless gigabit broadband to manufactured housing communities, specializes in building turnkey broadband systems that deliver reliable, low-cost, 1 Gig broadband service to residents and a highly flexible network for other operational needs of the owners.
Our Challenge: JCI assisted Kwikbit in re-launching itself into the broadband wireless market to position itself as a viable commercial broadband provider in a variety of markets.

Kwikbit also needed support positioning itself as a competitive provider in the CA broadband infrastructure grant space.
Our Approach: JCI executed a variety of media relations, brand awareness and public affairs efforts for the company. JCI connected Kwikbit’s efforts to the larger digital divide issues, broadband infrastructure efforts and helped leverage the company’s technology strengths in order to help connect the company into current news conversations. JCI also leveraged its relationships in order to help create successful business partnership opportunities.
Our Results: JCI was able to help Kwikbit secure print coverage of various successful installations. JCI also secured dozens of national broadcast media interviews for the company. Through a public affairs campaign, JCI helped the company meet political influencers to help support the company’s grant efforts.
