BlackBerry Ad Campaign Seeks to Reassure Customers
BlackBerry is publishing an open letter in major publications around the world in a bid to reassure customers that they can count on the distressed smartphone company.
The letter was released Monday and will be published Tuesday. It acknowledges, “These are no doubt challenging times for us and we don’t underestimate the situation,” but says, “You can continue to count on BlackBerry.” The missive notes that BlackBerry has substantial cash and is debt free.
