Why such a gloomy demeanor, Verizon? It’s time to celebrate your 25th birthday!
Reaching a quarter of a century is a significant milestone that should warrant a lively celebration, perhaps even a cake shaped like a cell tower adorned with 5G candles. However, Verizon’s announcement of its anniversary feels more like a subtle acknowledgment rather than a jubilant occasion.
While the content is substantive, the tone suggests a lack of enthusiasm for the celebration. The press release states, “For 25 years, Verizon has been leading with technology and innovation for our customers,” which hardly captivates the audience.
It continues with an uninspired message about reflecting on the past and looking toward the future with smarter networks and community support. When I turned 25, I celebrated with passion.
Yet, one might wonder if corporations are not delivering that same energy. The CEO’s quote further highlights the company’s reliability and forward-looking vision, but it too lacks flair.
The section titled “25 years of firsts” seems to merely list achievements instead of celebrating them. Transitioning from flip phones to 5G is a monumental shift, not something to be treated lightly.
Though Verizon has undoubtedly shaped the mobile era, the announcement has an air of low energy. With the launch of 4G and 5G, one would expect a grand acknowledgment of these advancements.
Instead, the announcement’s most thrilling aspect is a nod to AI support chat. A company with Verizon’s legacy should bring more excitement to the table.
After 25 years of evolving communication in America, this milestone could have been celebrated with verve and vigor. Instead, it feels reserved, especially following a time of significant customer losses.
Celebrating is great, but doing so with the right enthusiasm is key.
