Thanks to all the downtime that comes with being a customer support agent at a network that works too well, Alan took to the air to talk about Verizon’s value and reliability.
Through a partnership with Spotify, Alan took over Spotify’s DJ feature, training the app’s AI model for the very first time—generating expertly curated playlists along with a steady stream of shoutouts to Verizon’s award-winning network and value-driven plans. Then he showed up in traditional radio format, where he spread the good word of Verizon’s reliability.
Because if his customers are already satisfied, he figured he should get a few new ones.
