Pre-paid wireless brand Boost Mobile has named WorkInProgress as its creative agency of record. 

WorkInProgess was awarded the business without a competitive review, an agency spokesperson said. The Boulder, Colorado-based agency was recommended through its partnership with another EchoStar Corp. brand, Sling TV, for which it has been the lead creative agency since June 2023.

Boost Mobile declined to comment. 

Boost Mobile shelled out $130 million in U.S. measured media last year, according to Vivvix, which includes paid social data from Pathmatics, a slight decline from $132 million in 2022. The company is owned by Englewood, Colorado-based EchoStar Corp., which also houses brands such as Dish TV, Boost Infinite and Hughes.

Highdive had previously worked with Boost Mobile on a project basis, according to a spokesperson for the agency. The Chicago shop’s work included “Step Up to Boost,” a campaign (video below) that aimed to show how Boost Mobile can be a catalyst for a higher quality of life. 

WorkInProgress’ latest work for Sling TV, “Spit Take,” was designed to attract news subscribers to its $40 monthly news program offering. The agency is set to debut a new brand campaign in July.
