Connecting island communities to the world
Sure is a leading telecommunications provider serving consumer and business customers across the Channel Islands, Isle of Man and South Atlantic.
Part of ATN International, Sure operates across distinct island markets, each with its own competitive landscape, regulatory environment and customer expectations - providing the connectivity and digital services that keep people and businesses connected.
The challenge
Creating one digital vision across diverse markets
Sure operates across multiple jurisdictions, serving both consumer and business customers in markets with very different competitive dynamics, regulations and customer expectations.
Its fragmented digital estate needed to evolve into a more connected, scalable operation - capable not only of supporting immediate commercial priorities, but continually adapting as customer behaviour, technology and search changed..
The brief was to:
- Create a connected digital estate - bringing fragmented experiences together around a more consistent platform and strategy.
- Serve different audiences and markets effectively - balancing the needs of consumer and business customers across distinct jurisdictions.
- Turn digital visibility into commercial advantage - building sustainable organic and paid performance around the terms that influence customer acquisition.
- Create a trusted view of performance - connecting analytics, measurement and governance across the digital ecosystem.
- Build resilience into the operation - protecting performance through platform migrations, algorithm changes and shifts in customer behaviour.
- Create a model for continuous transformation - giving Sure the strategy, platform and partnership needed to keep evolving.

The solution
The solution
One partnership connecting strategy to performance
Rather than treating strategy, experience, technology and performance as separate projects, we built a long-term transformation programme around them. Working as an extension of Sure's team, we've continually evolved the roadmap as commercial priorities and customer behaviour have changed - connecting strategic thinking with hands-on delivery and measurable performance.
Setting the digital direction
Our strategic relationship with Sure connects long-term ambition with everyday digital decisions - from roadmap and channel mix to audience priorities and investment. That ongoing perspective helps Sure identify where to invest, where to consolidate and how to respond to change without losing sight of its wider commercial objectives.
Turn digital strategy into sustained growth
The outcome
From digital channels to a compounding commercial asset
Continuous transformation since 2018 has fundamentally changed Sure's digital position.
Organic traffic has grown by 825%, while monthly organic traffic value has increased by 371%. Across the partnership, the organic visibility we've helped Sure build represents an estimated £57m in equivalent paid media value.
The impact extends beyond reach. B2B and B2C audiences are spending more time engaging with Sure, while shared measurement, governed analytics and a connected digital roadmap give teams greater confidence to respond to new opportunities.
Most importantly, the programme hasn't delivered a platform that was right at a single point in time. It has created a digital capability designed to keep evolving - and to keep creating value as the landscape changes.
We partnered with 7DOTS to transform our purchase journeys - and they delivered! The results have been clear, with strong growth in our online sales since launch. 7DOTS has proven to be a trusted, results-driven partner as we continue to evolve our digital offering.
