New CenturyLink brand unveiled

San Marcos — CenturyTel and EMBARQ have officially launched their new CenturyLink brand throughout the company’s 33-state service area. CenturyLink began its brand advertising at the end of August, and customers are now seeing the new name and logo on bills, buildings and vehicles.

On Oct. 16, the new sign was unveiled at CenturyLink’s San Marcos location on Guadalupe Street.

“CenturyLink is committed to offering our customers advanced communications services that improve lives and make business stronger. We expect to offer personal service in every market we serve,” said Steve Hanik, Texas Area Marketing Communications manager. “Our hope is that when our customers see the CenturyLink name and logo, they will visualize a company that connects them to what matters most — each other. We plan to create our brand by linking customers locally, nationally and beyond to the people, entertainment and information that enables them to live and work better.”

The e-mail addresses of CenturyTel and EMBARQ customers will say the same. Only new customers who sign up for broadband service will receive a CenturyLink e-mail address.

Likewise, there will be no changes to customers’ phone numbers, local service, customer service contact numbers or business hours.
