PR and communications support for MWC Barcelona
MWC is the biggest week in the telecoms calendar. It is also one of the noisiest.
Thousands of companies are competing for attention from the same journalists, analysts, customers and partners. Simply turning up with a stand and a press release is rarely enough.
Temono helps companies make MWC count.
We support companies before, during and after the show with media relations, analyst engagement, messaging, content, speaker submissions and on-the-ground communications support.

How Temono Supports at MWC
-

Messaging and positioning
MWC has a habit of making different companies sound remarkably similar.
We help strip away the jargon and work out what is actually different, interesting or commercially important about your story — so your spokespeople, announcements, sales conversations and content reinforce the same position.
-

Media relations
We help identify the stories and angles that are worth telling, develop the right angles and put them in front of relevant telecoms, technology and business journalists, utilising relationships built up over decades of trust.
-

Analyst relations
MWC is one of the few moments when many of the industry's most influential analysts are in the same place.
We help companies identify the analysts that matter, sharpen the story they take into meetings and build relationships that continue well beyond Barcelona.
We support engagement with analyst and research firms including Gartner, IDC, Omdia, Analysys Mason, ABI Research, CCS Insight, Appledore Research and ReThink, among others.
-

Media Training
We help prepare your spokespeople to maximise their minutes at MWC.
Our half-day or full-day workshops are designed to support spokespeople with preparation, identifying key messages, pitching their key points in the right way to the journalist or analyst they’re speaking to.
We develop practice scenarios to stress-test spokespeople’s ability to answer with clarity and confidence and provide practical feedback to help them make MWC meetings a success.
-

Speaker Submissions
Competition for speaking slots is fierce, and good technology alone isn't enough.
We help companies develop sharper session ideas, choose credible spokespeople and make the commercial and editorial case for why their perspective deserves a place on the agenda.
Specialist expertise
For many telecoms businesses, MWC represents one of the largest marketing investments of the year. You shouldn't have to spend the first month teaching your PR agency what OSS/BSS means, why Open RAN is contentious or where NTN fits into the connectivity landscape.
Journalists have packed diaries. Analysts are moving between briefings. Major vendors dominate the news cycle. Hundreds of companies arrive in Barcelona making variations of the same claims about AI, networks, automation and transformation.
We have supported companies for over 20 years make the most of MWC, before during and after the chaos of the Fira. Our team works across telecoms, connectivity, networks, data centres, fibre and subsea, satellite and related B2B technology markets.
And because we're senior-led, the people you meet when choosing Temono are the people involved in the work.
From securing speaker slots, major business press interviews, trade and analyst coverage, we have seen it all (and tried most of the good tapas restaurants too!)
-
We have worked with everything from large operators and vendors with big booths, right through to start-ups where we’ve arranged briefings over coffee in the food court. There is nothing at MWC we haven’t seen.
-
Earlier than most companies think. Major announcements, media outreach, analyst meetings, speaker preparation and supporting content all benefit from being planned well before Barcelona. Starting early also gives you more options than trying to manufacture a story shortly before the show.
-
You’re not alone. We have worked with companies on very short-sprint projects before. Have a chat with us and we’ll be candid about what is possible.
-
Yes. We work with companies on ongoing communications programmes as well as focused projects around major industry moments such as MWC.
-
No. A strong point of view, research, customer evidence or relevant technical expertise can sometimes create better conversations than a product announcement competing with hundreds of others.
-
Yes! Our team has been going to MWC for 20 years supporting clients, staffing briefings, hosting analyst dinners, press conferences and more.
Selected Experience
Our experience spans the telecoms and digital infrastructure stack, from submarine to satellite.
