subpar in its efficiency. They will swim against the tide if they believe the effort will result in

customers.
What is the difference in mindset that truly differentiates Blue Guava from its competitors?
This question is going to be elaborately answered further below, however, the concept of it
can be grasped by understanding and communicating that Blue Guava is not just

current and future technologies, which makes them well-suited to work on and deliver
state-of-the-art tech solutions. Blue Guava undertakes every project as if it were their
own, and as partners they don’t just deliver a product or service but will continuously work
hard to ensure that the delivered product will ensure long-term success in business for
the client.
All in all, as devotees of transparent and respectful cooperation, they believe in
straightforward communication and honesty, and they will not promise a client something
they cannot accomplish.
Target Audience
Blue Guava seeks to engage, speak to, and partner up with larger companies and
corporations that deal in content-based streaming and data streaming services.
Organizations such as production studios, premium entertainment channels, or network
television service providers. However, they are also interested in working with content
creators and content owners, including well-funded startups or smaller companies that
could benefit from their services.
Based on previous experience, Blue Guava’s main target audience is a combination of
entertainment providers, producers, and larger studios – the typical and most prolific
digital content creators.
Blue Guava seeks to offer services and solutions to all of them. Generally, they are aiming
for mid-sized companies and large corporations that deal in the media industry and
possess considerable media content that needs managing.
Marketing Personas
Approaching the topic from a B2B sales cycle perspective, Blue Guava has to speak to and
communicate with C-level decision makers in these target industries. These C-level
positions are as follows:
➔ CIOs in telecommunication companies
➔ CTOs in media (digital or otherwise) companies
➔ VP of Technology (telecommunication companies, media companies, digital
content creators)
For the CIO and CTO, the pitch has to be made from a mainly business point of view. As
Blue Guava offers high-quality services to companies seeking to achieve their goals in
streaming, customer engagement, and analytics, the emphasis should be focused on the
values that materialize once the client succeeds in those aforementioned areas: revenue
growth, reduced costs, and customer retention.
The VP of Technology should receive more information on the technologies that Blue
Guava works with and is an expert in, focusing on features and solutions that ultimately
increase customer satisfaction, provide competitive advantage, and improve marketing
practices.
Secondary decision makers:
➔ CEO
➔ Chief Digital Officer
➔ Chief Revenue Officer
➔ Chief Marketing Officer
The
three prongs of Blue Guava’s trident of high-quality service are Quality Assurance,
DevOps, and Product Development. The communication should also follow this trident
approach. For instance, there will be CIOs who may only be interested in the services that
DevOps offers, CTOs that want to use the product development team for developing a
new content library app for example, or VPs of technology that require professional QA
testing – the positions could vary, but the services they are looking for may not overlap.
On the other hand, an edge that Blue Guava already has compared to its competitors is
the expertise to create content libraries that are searchable through manageable meta
data and can present multi-language content. Any of the targeted decision makers of
companies dealing in media and streaming services would be highly interested in such a
solution.
Furthermore, given that Blue Guava’s services also support B2C and voucher-type
solutions, they can be of particular interest to the CIOs of telco companies, given that such
solutions can invite mobile service providers to partake in similar customer acquisition
practices.
Differentiators
What are those values, approaches, and technologies that make Blue Guava stand out of
the crowd?
➔ Pioneering Solutions:
◆ Each project is unique if Blue Guava is working on it. With each new
undertaking, Blue Guava seeks to affirm that it is indeed a visionary
innovator in this industry.
◆ Bold, new ideas and futuristic solutions that ultimately aim for even greater
benefits and efficiency are part of the standard in the Blue Guava toolset.
Their goal is to improve and provide better services without serving the
same menu in streaming that everyone else does.
◆ They want the client to savor the exotic flavor Blue Guava offers instead of
just eating the same old apples and oranges.
➔ Perfectionism & Accountability:
◆ Blue Guava is relentless about its mission to deliver the best possible
outcome in any given situation. There will be no half-solutions; only the very
best they can accomplish with their skilled and experienced hands.
◆ They know what responsibility means and work accordingly. They are
reliable, honest, and always prove that they can be trusted.
◆ They are not yes-men. If a project is at risk of being derailed and/or delayed
by a suboptimal solution that is pushed by the client, they will raise their
concerns and offer viable alternatives instead.
➔ Technological Advances:
◆ Blue Guava has made progress in developing the technology and solutions
needed to accomplish an elastic-type of content delivery, which is the next
major step in the evolution of the streaming industry.
◆ They are also ahead of competitors in library management solutions of
content-based streaming and data streaming services – most other
companies in this industry focus on content management only.
◆ Blue Guava possesses almost all the modern, state-of-the-art devices and
platforms that they use to test software and apps on, such as Roku,
Samsung, and LG Smart TVs, all generations of iPhone devices, Apple TV,
Chromecast, and many-many more. This collection of highly valuable
assets is something that only a select few developer companies in the
industry possess, making it a considerable competitive edge over many of
Blue Guava’s competitors. If a client wants to test a new app or service, they
just have to name which devices and platforms they want to test it on –
Blue Guava has got that covered.
➔ Cooperation & Teamwork:
◆ Blue Guava is committed to maintaining a healthy team spirit across all its
teams and even between teams. They mean it when they say no one gets
left behind and is given all the help they need.

is present in every Blue Guava partnership. A mentality like this fosters good
cooperation and breeds success.
◆ Blue Guava is the friendly, high-tech data and media streaming service
provider that any media or telecommunication company would love to
work with.
Quality of Service
With years of experience in developing and testing streaming services and software for
and on a variety of platforms, Blue Guava is exceptionally prepared to help any client
achieve their goals in streaming, customer engagement, and analytics.
Clients can rely on Blue Guava to provide highly responsive service. They tailor the delivery
of services to the client, making sure that their professionals are ready to develop, deploy,
or test 24/7.

client and its customers, and their high standards make Blue Guava the ideal
development partner.
Professionalism
Stemming from the ideal that anything Blue Guava delivers should be perfect, the
company makes certain that its standards in quality as well as the expertise and
knowledge of its employees are just as perfect.
The competence, intelligence, and experience that are the hallmarks of Blue Guava
employees are further amplified by how well they work together. And these qualities distill
into the high-quality services that Blue Guava is known for.
They are the ideal developer company, representing a commitment to deliver functional
and ultimately profitable solutions. They will always be outspoken about the expenses a
service or product will cost the client, as quality comes first. Delivering an optimal solution
is significantly more practical, as the ROI for such systems is usually higher than in the
case of solutions where the developer intentionally lowers costs and standards of quality.
In the end, Blue Guava’s drive to achieve excellence as well as the satisfaction of clients
and their customers alike will always result in deliveries that bring about quick and
considerable ROI while keeping the cost of ownership and maintenance costs low.
Tone of Communication
Professional, sophisticated, confident, helpful, entrepreneurial with a touch of laid-back
“Miami vibe.”
The communication should convey that Blue Guava is not just a superior expert, but also a
bold visionary and pioneer – without going over-the-top.
