DIALLOG TELECOMMUNICATIONS EVOLUTION OF A BRAND HISTORY
In 1998, EuroTEL Canada entered the telecom industry with the
idea of serving targeted niche market segments such as the
Greek, Italian, and other European communities. The name of the
company made perfect sense for these strategic business objec-
tives.
EuroTEL’s original business slogan was “New World Communica-
tions, Old World Values”. The slogan meant that EuroTEL Canada
could provide new, advanced telecommunications and technolo-
gies while complementing them with old world, or traditional val-
ues that put emphasis on the customer relationship.
Brand-wise, the bigger plan was to create and go-to-market
with other niche market telecom names. For example: Chi-
naTel, IndiaTel, BusinessTel, etc., etc.

As the success of EuroTEL Canada grew, a funny thing happened:
the company started to attract customers beyond the original
“European” audience.
In fact, Business customers literally starting walking through the
door. The company, seizing on the opportunity, began to care-
fully study the needs and wants of the business market segment
and began to craft and perfect its business value proposition. In
2000, EuroTEL formally entered the B2B market powered by indus-
try best partnerships and proprietary technology advantages.
With the new business and expanding responsibilities, the
company realized it was too busy to consider creating addi-
tional brands (such as ChinaTel, BusinessTel) and taking on all
the added work that comes with rebranding—new website,
phone system upgrades, legal details, creation of new busi-
ness cards, etc.. As well, company leadership began to realize
that additional company brands would fracture internal mar-
keting efforts and ultimately prevent the creation of a single
brand that could be built from the inside-out.
After tremendous deliberation, it was eventually decided that
the EuroTEL brand and the potential additional brands should
evolve into a single entity—something that was more repre-
sentative of its full capabilities, its expanding customer base,
and its unique value prop.

DIALLOG TELECOMMUNICATIONS EVOLUTION OF A BRAND EVOLVING THE BRAND
EuroTEL Canada underwent a comprehensive rebranding ini-
tiative to find a new name, a new logo, and a new image.
The overall goal was to find a name that spoke to ALL market
segments in the same way that EuroTEL spoke to the European
market segment. The new brand needed to echo the same
message: “We’re one of you, we speak your language, we’re
listening, we’re interested in the community or business market
segment that you’re part of.”
After an exhaustive rebranding process, the new company
name chosen was Diallog Telecommunications (its various
brand components are displayed on the following pages).
The name Diallog is in keeping with the spirit of communications
and connecting people through reliable, cost-effective technology.
The company’s main goal, as it’s always been, is to really listen to
customers and address their unique needs in an effort to build a
better telecommunications company.
It’s important to understand that the company itself is not
changing. In fact it’s growing and getting better, and will con-
tinue to build upon its outstanding reputation in the telecom-
munications industry.
It’s going to be business as usual, but better.
