LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERSPromoting the computer inside:
the Intel Inside logo appeared on approximately 3000 pages of our customers’ advertisement in 1991.
1992
PROBLEMDespite establishing Intel Inside with manufacturers, consumers don’t understandwhere to or why they should be looking for the Intel logo.
TAKE AWAYIntel understands the importance of reach and mass awareness, so they develop a system to amplify
their own advertising by giving their OEM partners the ability to advertise on Intel’s behalf
STRATEGYIntel licenses the “Intel Inside” name/logo to any PC manufacturer who’s willing to participate in the co-op marketing program.
In addition to producing its own brand advertising, Intel contributes money to manufacturer campaigns if they includes Intel Inside.
Intel goes to publishers and media companies and negotiates volume discounts for everyone who participates in the Intel Inside co-op marketing program.
GOALTeach consumers to look for Intel Inside logo.

Mid-90s
PROBLEMMaintaining momentum in the technology world.
TAKE AWAYIntel put technology in terms general consumers could relate to and understand.
Intel understood the importance of branding, developing a mnemonic to accompany all advertising as well as engaging in aggressive brand marketing outside of the co-op program.
STRATEGYTreat new chip releases like major consumer facing product launches to generate demand for PCs with the “latest” technology.
First tech company to adopt plain english descriptions of its products on packaging and in marketing communications.
Developed the now famous Intel mnemonic (5-tone sound/logo).
GOALContinue to educate consumers on the benefits of computers that contain Intel microprocessors

Late-90s
PROBLEMCheap PCs grabs a large market share.AMD releases the first 1GHz processor.
TAKE AWAYAs PCs became more affordable and started to enter people’s rooms, Intel followed with low-end
processors and communications that would promote its values, and connect with the consumer culture, becoming a recognizable, and reliable synonym for computer performance.
Staying true to its values, Intel gains back the leading position in the industry with the release of the faster PC processor.
STRATEGYProduce two chip generations in one year.
Announce a limited production of a 1 GHz processor two days later AMD’s release, and announce a 2 GHz chip one year later.
Communicate through an impactful Super Bowl Ad (1997) the arrival of affordable, super-performant processors for your PC.
GOALAddress the low-cost sector of the industry and gain back the leading position in processors.
Late-90s

PROBLEMTechnology and pop culture is moving faster, creating needs and markets.
TAKE AWAYIntel realizes that niche audience are being formed. There is a need for marketing and technical departments
to merge and collaborate, in order to develop products based on people’s needs and preferences.

saving money and offering cheaper, more diverse products.
