Sosh targets 18-35s who grew up with the internet
“Sosh” is a popular abbreviation of the word “social”, a subtle nod to the brand’s emphasis on communities.
Sosh meets the needs generated by new uses of the internet, which have become increasingly popular, particularly among people aged 18-35. Delphine Ernotte, Executive Vice President of Orange France explains that “They are connected to their friends and are active on social networks, they buy online, and they’re always looking for great deals for leisure activities, outings, music and cinema. Above all, they want to form new relationships with brands.”
A new Orange brand
Orange is proud to present Sosh. The new brand will enjoy use of the Group’s high-quality networks: 30,000 WiFi hotspots, the best 3G+ coverage in France, with 97% of the population of mainland France covered (operator data), and 250 service centres in Orange shops.
