In 2001, BT Wireless demerged from BT and took the name mmO₂ plc. While mmO₂ plc was created in 2001, the O₂ consumer brand was introduced on 19 June 2002 in the United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands (where it lasted for only a year before reverting to Telfort). The rebranding was supported by a European advertising campaign, which began on 16 April 2002 across all four countries. Lambie-Nairn created the O₂ brand identity.
