(NYSE: CALX) today announced that Pioneer Telephone Cooperative has won the second annual “Innovations in Marketing Award” at the recent Calix ConneXions 2019. Awarded to a service provider who has taken the most creative approach to reaching and engaging subscribers, Pioneer exemplified marketing excellence in the past year, generating a 59-fold return on investment for its latest marketing campaign. Nebraska-based ALLO Communications and Ontario, Canada’s Tbaytel were also named finalists, and all three shared their insights on a featured marketer’s panel during the main stage general session. With the assistance of Calix Marketing Cloud, these three communications service providers (CSPs) transformed their marketing processes and look forward building on their success in 2020 and beyond.

As we have continued to learn about the ways they use our network, we have been able to maximize our marketing resources to ensure we continue to drive better results.”A Calix partner since 2004, Pioneer serves a rural subscriber base in western and southern Oklahoma and is working to increase its number of fiber broadband members by 94 percent by 2020.

Keenly focused on its members, Pioneer plans to elevate that experience by deploying the GigaSpire BLAST, powered by EXOS®.“Calix customers are at the forefront of technological innovation, and the savviest among them are matching those engineering efforts with marketing,” said Matt Collins, chief marketing officer at Calix. “We are delighted to recognize Pioneer as our Innovation in Marketing Award winner this year, as they have stepped up to ensure they remain engaged with their members and continued to drive the best possible results for them.
