     Hello! We couldn’t be more excited to be
     participating and creating yet another
     successful campaign for the NSAC. We’ll be
     honest, when we first heard that the Century
     Council would be sponsoring this year, we were        3 Market Environment
     baffled. How would we tackle a behavior that
     was commonplace in college? How would we
     change a behavior at all? We got to work and

A Combined Effort
Research   Who Are We?
           We are Central Michigan University. We are a school that breeds passionate individuals in their chosen fields. We are
           a group of dedicated young professionals that excel through hard work, determination and most of all, love for our
           education. We are a proud group who do not plan on getting by with an Ivy League name or the high priced tuition
           that comes with it. We succeed through our work-ethic, our determination, our inspiration and finally, our passion.



           Who Is Naked Advertising?
           Naked Advertising is the group of talented and passionate students who live and breathe marketing and advertising. This
           is not an assignment for class. This is not a required course; it is not even an elective. It is our dream, plain and simple.
           A dream that is so big, we take the time to add it to our already hectic schedules. Simply put, that is who we are. We find
           the way to research, plan and strategize to create a message that will impact our designated target audience.




           Mission Statement
           We at Naked Advertising strive to strip advertising to its most elemental form. We always look to create emotional
           brand experiences that will not only enrich the lives of our audience but engage them in innovative and creative ways.
           We study the past, view the present and predict the future for our advertising strategies.




           What The Century Council Stands For
           The Council's mission is to promote responsible decision-making regarding beverage alcohol and discourage all forms
           of irresponsible consumption through education, communications, research, law enforcement and other programs.




           How Naked & The Century Council Will Change Lives

2
           Together, Naked and the Century Council will use innovative ways to deal with the issues and damages created by binge
           drinking among college students. This will be a campaign that pierces through past attempts of reaching this audience
           by engaging them before the behavior is demonstrated. Through creative uses of multi-media and a central viral idea,
           the awareness of what can be considered an after- thought problem will reach its threshold in the minds of our audience.
Market Environment
Research
           Overview
           The Account Planning team at Naked Advertising created a national
           internet survey that was taken by 1141 target members. We also ran
           several focus groups and conducted in-depth personal interviews.
           The goal was to explore the lives of everyday target members and
           solidify what we already knew was true. Drinking to the level of binge
           is socially acceptable with this “Connected Generation”.



           Positioning
           Our primary and secondary research revealed that binge drinking
           is a learned behavior and grows over time throughout a student’s
           college life. They believe what they are partaking in is not wrong
           by today’s standards and see it as normal behavior. It is not until
           after their night of drinking that they experience the aftermath of
           problems usually caused by binge drinking.



             Positioning Statement
             “The Great Night campaign literally puts the idea into the palm of your hands. Not only
             was I eager to see what the game had planned for my night based on my choices, it
             was great to be able to send it to friends and reflect on past experiences with them.
             This is probably the first time I’ve seen something like this be so well accepted, not
             just by the student body, but also the community itself. I’ve never heard of the Century




3
             Council and I’ve never looked at what I did at night as a negative social behavior. What
             you have done here has really addressed both of those issues.”
Industry Trends
Research

            2009 Top Trends                                    Measuring Social Impact
           Pressure from above and below is forcing nonprofits to think more seriously about how they define their
           goals and evaluate their progress toward them. The days where organizations can get away with anec-
           dotal evidence of impact are quickly fading.


           Our Response:
           Naked Advertising and the Century Council will set the benchmark for how non-profit campaigns should be.
           The demand for change in our society is at its threshold and together we will shift non-profit advertising into
           a completely new echelon. This market will no longer be subjected to statistic-based advertising. No longer
           will a national campaign rollout without just cause. The “Great Night” campaign goes past statistics and
           encourages our audience to party longer by drinking less. The purpose of using test markets will also aid in
           the advancement of the campaign to allow necessary changes to be made before the national rollout.




            2009 Top Trends                                    Online Action Platforms
           The internet is dramatically expanding the ways in which we can aggregate and harness an individuals
           desire to contribute to change. Online action platforms will continue to grow as social entrepreneurs tap
           into their networks more creatively.


           Our Response:
           Our campaign for the Century Council is not just an awareness driver, it is a social experience. The campaign is

           focused heavily on user-generated content and word of mouth marketing. To raise awareness correctly, we had to
           remove the behavior from the back of their minds and move it directly into their hands. For more information on
           how we utilized this trend please see the Website portion of the Creative Section.
Situational Analysis
Research       Currently, our problem can be divided into three distinct realms.


           Our first realm deals with trouble looking beyond statistics.
           We have seen throughout the years the almost total failure
           of campaigns based on statistics. Even though these
           campaigns were excellent campaigns, they were not
           effective campaigns. They lacked a voice our target could
           relate to, and looked to instill fear.

                            The second realm we find ourselves dealing with is that we
                            aren’t trying to stop the first, second, or even third drink.
                            We are trying to combat the drinks that drive the target
                            into binging distinction. The Century Council prides its
                            efforts and its campaigns on an exemplary amount of due
                            dilligence. These distillers are already creating limited
                            awareness about drinking responsibly and in moderation in
                            their individual campaigns.
                                                               The third realm is the challenge of changing a behavior. This
                                                               is something normally found in psychology textbooks and
                                                               the couches of professionals, it is rarely found in advertising.
                                                               There are, however, some bright spots that have set the
                                                               standard for social marketing campaigns. First, the “Truth”

                            Any campaign that can help bring forward the problems and cause positive change
                     is a campaign that should be celebrated within society. It reflects the positive nature advertising
                                  can bring and the limitless opportunities and power advertising holds.
Primary Research
Research
           At Naked we took it to heart to immerse ourselves in the research to fully understand how we can change
           this behavior. We knew how important research would be to this campaign, however we did take a rather
           irrational approach with our qualitative research.

           This year we were blessed to have individuals who have been, and are being trained in the art of
           Professional Selling. What they brought to the table allowed us to identify and fill what are commonly
           referred to as GAPs. These GAPs are the areas to which we can add value for our customer. This rather
           unorthodox methodology included such techniques as Listen, Acknowledge, Explore and Respond (LAER).
           It also opened new doors in treating the audience to what they truly are, an asset. These new practices
           allowed us to enter their “odds are” which is simply, being in their shoes. This program was used due to the
           curriculum that is involved. It is about creating relationships, understanding needs, values and motivations
           and finally it creates a solution that fulfills the customers’ needs. Why did we choose these methods? The
           answer is simple, to allow ourselves to not only fully understand the customer and their information, but
           allow us the opportunity to create a campaign that does not talk at them, but rather with them.

The Target
Research    A behavior has no face. It can take on any age, any gender, any ethnicity.


           Demographics
           Our target is men and women aged
           18-24 attending college

           Psychographics
           “The Connected Generation”...
                 ...is away at a university
                 ...is searching for independence
                 ...will go to any length to have a good time
                 ...loves spending time with their friends
                 ...wants a memorable experience

            Key Research Points
           72.2%
               68.8%
                            Would listen to their best friend over anyone if they are receiving advice on drinking
                            Consume alcohol with friends at a college apartment or a house party

                    62.1% Have gotten into a car with an intoxicated driver
                    35% Admitted to driving after consuming 4 to 5 drinks or more within 2 hours
                    59%Have blacked out while binge drinking
                    37%Say they can have up to 4 drinks before feeling intoxicated
                    12.8% Consume 5 or more drinks in a 2 hour period 3 to 4 times per week
7                   80.1% Are getting alcohol from their older friends
                    27.1% Are scared MOST by what their parents would think when it comes to their drinking habits
The Shadow Market
Research
           After studying the data, we realized there was one key point we also needed to make when creating our
           campaign and addressing our main target. We were asked to target the 18-24 year old college market.
           When looking at the research it pointed out that binge drinking is a learned behavior and increases over time.




           Our research helped us discover that a majority of underage drinkers get their alcohol from older friends and
           family. With that in mind, we knew that we needed to create a message that not only had insight into the
           college market, but also had the legs to reach the shadow market of 14-17. With a communication plan
           focused completely on the target audience, our message has the ability to reach the shadow market through
           word-of-mouth. With younger siblings and friends still in high school, we could properly reach the shadow
           market through peer-to-peer communication. Since this is a learned behavior, we felt that it was necessary to
           make sure we created a message that could plant the desired seed of knowledge into the shadow market.

Campaign Objectives
           Our main assignment, according to the 2009 NSAC Case Study is “to develop an
           integrated communications campaign to combat dangerous overconsumption of
Strategy   alcohol by college students, where each one of the components (tactics) can be
           implemented independently, if needed, and still be effective.”
           In addition to this main objective, Naked Advertising added a few more specific
           objectives we felt would be essential to completing the main task. These secondary
           objectives taken individually help make small noise into a collective roar.

           • Develop an effective and efficient one stop shop for all audience and media needs
           • Involve both the student body and the community
           • Create an ala cart menu of engaging multi-media
           • Create positive PR opportunities for colleges and media outlets by publicly acknowledging them
           • Implement test markets by August 2009 and measure effectiveness by November 2009




           Our strategy was borne of our research, which told us that binge drinkers do not think
           they are binge drinkers. The definition means nothing to them. Our research also
           told us that our target would listen to their friends, first and foremost.


           Strategy
           Dude, don’t waste a great night.

           “Dude”, because our research indicates it must be your best friend doing the talking.

           “Don’t waste a great night” because we want that to become the target’s goal.


9
           To ride the buzz, to make the party last longer, and ultimately to have even MORE fun.
           We want them to accomplish this through smarter, slower, wiser drinking.
Creative Vision
            Objectives
            Create social awareness of The Century Council’s message of having a Great Night
            Drive the audience to www.GreatNight.com
            Maintain the seriousness of the behavior and situation, but approach the delivery in a lighter tone
            Execute the strategy of “Dude, don’t waste a great night.”

Creative   Concept
           Through all our research and testing, our research-based thoughts were proven right. The target did
           not respond well to any of our concepts that included shaming them, making them feel guilty, or
           concepts that dwelled on statistics. Any ideas we had to use statistics in the ads themselves were
           quickly pushed aside, because we were assured by the target that it wouldn’t change their behavior.

           From there, we knew exactly what type of creative executions we needed to produce. Something
           needed to take shape that showed our target that wasting their college years blacked out or throwing
           up was a waste of great nights with friends, a waste of life period.
           Consistency
           The following elements appear in all of our executions:
           The Century Council logo
           Microsoft’s TAG technology (print)
           The “Dude, Don’t Waste a Great Night” tagline
           The website, www.GreatNight.com
           A color palette that is in keeping with the website, and black as backgrounds

           Pre-testing
           In preparation for our test market roll-out. We at Naked felt it was necessary to test the overall concept and design on the Central
           Michigan University campus. The overall response was positive, here are some key quotes.

           From the students…
           •      “That is your typical college apartment party” Sophomore, Jason Magureny
           •      “The examples for the consequences are more realistic and less blatant” Freshman, Brittany Andrews
           •      “Cool site ” Sophomore, Brad Hustaloski
           •      “Different, but different good” Senior, Nicole Kollias




10
           From the Administration…
           •      “The public acknowledgement is a huge plus!” – College of Business Dean, Dr. Mike Fields
           •      “Why hasn’t this approach been tackled yet?” Marketing Strategy Professor, Dr. Michael Garver
           •      “This really seems to stand in the shoes of the audience” Consumer Behavior Professor, Dr. Richard Divine
           •      “The website idea is excellent and the situations in the game reminded me of my good times in college”
                  Professor of Professional Sales, Ken Cherry
Interactive
           We knew that to start changing behaviors we had to create an interactive experience that invites the user in and
           then allows them to share with others. With this in mind, we created an application that can be used in a multitude
           of ways. On your cell phone, on your Facebook profile, even online at the website.

           It was designed to show users exactly how their night can end up by making the wrong, or right, drinking deci-
           sions. The application has the same continuity across all media, but the differences lie with how the app will be

Creative
           spread amongst the target. When played on a cell phone, users have the option to send it to friends through a
           text. “Great Night” results can also be uploaded to Facebook or Twitter to show others what their great night
           entails. Naked Advertising teamed up with RockYou! to create a strategy-guided Facebook application. The
           application will consist of a new photo album that users can put onto their profiles which is themed to music of
           their choice. The application will be named “Your Great Night Moments” and is designed to act as a secondary
           source of user-generated content by allowing the users the opportunity to upload their photos to the game. This
           will also work in concert with the online version, as users will be able to upload their own photos there for future
           players to “receive” in their end scenarios.

The Website
           The website, found at www.GreatNight.com, was created to exude a personality. It has a fresh and
           friendly feel with bright colors and easy navigation. The website is flash-based, which allows us to
           incorporate minimal navigation. The main page will have five flash sites load into the main screen
           upon being selected. Each of the five pages will have their own drop down navigation options
           within that also load to the main frame. The way the website is formatted keeps the user from
           navigating away from www.GreatNight.com until they leave the site entirely.
Creative
           The opening page also doubles as the Great Night application page. After clicking the prompt, the
           box will expand and fill the frame allowing users to get the full experience.

           you can upload those into the game as well.

Television
           Our television spots are designed to get the buzz about our application going, and to drive tra c to the website.
           We have devised two di erent styles of spots, one to appeal to men and one to appeal to women. Both deal with
           the social pressures and commonplace of drinking in college.




Creative
           This speci c t.v. spot appeals to women. In it, a girl goes to a party and gets a text message from a friend. Upon
           opening it, she realizes that it is a night predictor, our app. She interacts with it and realizes that her night would
           end in a much more appealing way if she slows her drinking down and truly enjoys the party.

Print
             All print executions will be interactive print ads. In keeping with the target interaction the game
             tends to receive, the print should be just as engaging and interesting. All ads have Microsoft’s TAG
             technology in the bottom left corner (see Media section for more information.)
             Just like television, all print will be designed to have a female appeal, or a male appeal.
             The ideal placement for the print we’ve designed is either as a newspaper insert, or as posters
             around the college campuses. Our research shows that although most of the target reads national
Creative     newspapers online, their college paper is the exception to the rule.

           This series of print ads show the consequences of drinking too much too fast. As previously stated, we
           aren’t battling the rst, second or third drinks, we are battling irresponsible drinking. The crime in progress
           is wasting a night that you’ll never be able to get back. The cut line simply states how many drinks in how
           many hours caused the repulsive behavior in the photo. The tagline follows, with a directive to visit the

           website. Microsoft’s TAG technology is in the left hand corner, and the ACE, AdCouncil and Century Council
           logo’s are in the right corner.
Guerilla
           Guerilla advertising is an important aspect to our campaign. The three examples you see would be
           implemented on college campuses by college students as part of our Concert Series Promotion,
           which will be explained within the next few pages, all will also be available for download.

           Strategy
           Utilize all promotional ideas to reinforce awareness on what a “Great Night” is.




           Tactics/Rationale
           Naked Advertising developed a promotional menu that allows users to live a Great Night and also
           show others what a Great Night encompasses and what the benefits are. By partnering with
           American Idol, America’s Best Dance Crew (ABDC) and VH1’s “You Oughta Know” artists, we will
           be able to bring events to campuses that will motivate students and communities to take an
           active role in spreading the message and incorporating the message in their daily lives.

           Our Concert Series
Creative   Naked Advertising will bring together the message of a great night with the entertainment of American Idol,
           ABDC and VH1’s “You Oughta Know” artists. These three were chosen because they not only represented a
           collective entertainment value that is strong with our audience, but also because their beliefs are ingrained in
           their favorite shows and music. We felt it would be a misjudgment to include popular groups and solo artists that
           have an established “public identity” that does not t our message of drinking slower. This is to position Century
           Council as far away as possible from potential public relations backlashes created by celebrity endorsements.
           The partnership with these acts will allow them to not only spread a positive message but also create more
           awareness for their image and increase their record sales.




            The school with the most people who bring the message into their lives via the Facebook application,
            user-generated content, blogging, and tweeting will bring the free concert to their school. The RSO that
            raises the most awareness will also receive 50 backstage passes. They can enjoy the fruits of their labor
            or sell them as a fundraiser for a group trip. The decision is solely up to them.

              Music Awards. This trip will include hotel and airfare for up to 50 members and will give the executive

              SWAG & Merchandise
              As we all know, you can never give a college student too much free stuff. We developed an exclusive
              line of SWAG and merchandise which will serve two purposes.

              The first purpose is to be included in the package that campuses receive upon registering their
              university on the website. They will get a bunch of SWAG, as well as instructions for downloading all
Creative      the creative executions off the website. A guide will be developed to give the universities tips on how
              to get the message out. The university will be responsible to decide how the SWAG is distributed.

              The second purpose is to create merchandise to be sold in the Store section of the website. All
              SWAG will be available for purchase, as well as some more exclusive items. The idea is to get the
              students excited about wearing our gear, hanging our posters and sporting our SWAG. Registered
              Student Organizations will be offered a group discount, as well as the option to customize SWAG
              further by adding their logo.

              All proceeds from Store sales will rotate back to the Century Council to put into other projects, or to
              keep funding more contests and involvement for the Great Night campaign.

            The chalking stencils will be 3 feet long by 1
            foot tall and will be perforated in the middle to
            tear into two. The purpose is to get students
            chalking the message on their campuses.

           and dedication to spreading the Great Night across their campuses. The donations would be a one-time
           contribution that essentially thanks the various universities for supporting this very important message.

Media Vision
         Objectives
         Incorporate all aspects of media in one collective website
         Focus publicity efforts on directing our target to the “Great Night” website
         Develop test markets that create brand advocates and early adopters



 Media

         Strategy
         Naked Advertising plans to utilize the Great Night website by turning it into a
         digital media kit that is accessible to students, universities, and desired media outlets




         Tactics/Rationale
         Our creative executions that involve traditional placement will be given a digital soul. Once the campaign
         is out of the test markets and loaded with the user-content, it will take on the normal life cycle of a
         PSA in terms of traditional media placement. However, media outlets will be encouraged to rotate the
         commercial into peak viewing times courtesy of our public “Thank You”. We felt it was best to put the
         students to work on a location where they would know the high traffic areas, which would give us the
         amount of impressions needed to create change. The website will allow everyone to download the
         commercials and PDF files of the posters and “while you were out” flyers. This one-stop digital shop will
         allow ease of access to the files and everyone the ability to share as much as they want.



25
Digital Revolution
         We knew with our media choices we would have to make sure our campaign would leap beyond the norms
         of 21st century media decisions. Our goal is to set the standard for media planning in the digital age and
         show precisely when the concept of simplicity can bring your message directly to your audience. The idea
         of going almost completely digital with this campaign allowed us to help the Century Council do their part in
         environmental sustainability.

         How We Did It
         We decided to go “almost” completely digital to create ease of access to our message. This was due in part since the

 Media
         Connected Generation is plugged in and online 24/7. The website allowed us to turn our executions into digital files
         that could be viewed on our audiences computer or cell phones. It gives the media outlets freedom to choose which
         commercial best suits their channel. It allows the message to be properly communicated and shared. And finally,
         because this is the way the Connected Generation said they wanted to see it. Our one digital problem lied within our
         print, that is until we did a little MORE research.

         The most unique thing about our posters is that technology will be incorporated into them. That’s right, technology
         incorporated into print. We partnered with Microsoft to allow the Connected Generation the ability to go directly to
         www.GreatNight.com by simply taking a picture of the graphic located in the bottom corners of our print. Not only does
         this create a unique experience for our audience, it will also increase the awareness of Microsoft’s new technology
         known as TAG.

         What Is TAG?
         “Microsoft Tag creates unlimited possibilities for making interactive communications an instant, entertaining part of
         life. They transform physical media (print advertising, billboards, product packages, information signs, in-store
         merchandising, or even video images)—into live links for accessing information and entertainment online.”
         -Microsoft Website

         TAG will link real-life with the digital world. It is a free download that can be packaged with our game application or
         downloaded separately. This creates yet another unique Great Night experience for the Connected Generation to
         enjoy what they value most—the latest technology that they can share with all their connected friends.

         The “Real Simple Syndication” of our message
         We at Naked feel strongly about the advancement of web 2.0 and its limitless capabilities. Our website
         www.GreatNight.com will be equipped to spread our message via RSS to the outside community. The “Rocked It”



26
         tab in the University section will be syndicated to reach all educational feeds that are supported by the universities.
         The “Sponsored It” tab in the Media section will be supported by all media related feeds. Both of these tabs will also
         be combined to feed into all appropriate feeds that can help reach not just the general public but also journalists to
         help spread the message.
The Launch Pad
         Test Markets
         We knew that a campaign like this would take off, as soon as it had a little exposure. In order to shine the light on this
         innovative new way to connect with our target, we realized implementation of test markets in different geographic areas
         was a must. Here’s how we did it.
         When choosing our test market schools we first had to ask ourselves some questions.

         Are they located in college town as opposed to large metropolis areas?
         Is their enrollment between 20,000 and 30,000 students?
         Are they “recognizable”?

 Media   Do they represent a separate geographic location?
         In order to qualify, all answers would have to be “Yes.”

         The schools we ended up choosing are a perfect fit for the markets we wanted to test.
         University of North Carolina              Chapel Hill, NC                 Total Enrollment: 26,878
         Texas Tech                                Lubbock, TX                     Total Enrollment: 28,442
         University of Iowa                        Iowa City, IA                   Total Enrollment: 28,705

         University of Connecticut                 Storrs, CT                      Total Enrollment: 29,383
         The schools are spread across the country and have been pinpointed in different regions to mimic different regional cultures
         that could be associated with drinking. Granted most college students “act” the same when dealing with this type of behavior,
         however, we felt it was necessary to keep customer focused and ensure the content we are showing people is accepted
         within the various markets. The money that we allocated to our test markets will help cover the cost of the concerts, SWAG
         production, and also cover the placement in these affordable media markets. This will help us guarantee their placement is at
         peak viewing times for the Connected Generation.

         But Why?
         By using these test markets it allows us not only to create possible brand advocates and early-adopters, but it will provide
         us with the much needed research and feedback to create a successful and impactful national campaign. Our test
         markets will provide a great amount of user-generated content and the overall spreading of the message in its early stage.

         By testing, the Century Council will receive the feedback that will be necessary to pull the trigger on this national

         campaign. It will provide key data that they can send to the universities to get them on board and bring a Great Night to
         their campus.
         For the Test Market
         It will allow the four test markets the opportunity to take pride in their campus and also bring them a guaranteed concert
         to their campus, but also the top RSO of that campus will automatically be entered into the national drawing for the
         MTV experience.
Timing & Budgets

                                                      several areas. The majority of the money is being spent on things that
                                                      tie the campaign directly to the universities, with some smaller
                                                      amounts of money going towards the new website and “Thank You”

         Timing

         As you can see, we’ve not provided any speci c media timetable because it is up to the Universities and the
         Media Outlets to place the PSAs we provide on our website. The only timing we’ve incorporated into this plan
         would be the test markets we outlined earlier. As stated, we’ve allocated 3 million dollars for placement of
         media in the test markets and the timing for the test markets to run is late August 2009 to early November 2009.

          Creative Team                                        designed a campaign that we’d want to see materialize. The best

Century Council Plansbook

  • 1. The Great Night Campaign Central Michigan University, 2009
  • 2. Your Great Campaign Starts Here A Note to The Century Council: Table of Contents 2 A Combined Effort Hello! We couldn’t be more excited to be participating and creating yet another successful campaign for the NSAC. We’ll be honest, when we first heard that the Century Council would be sponsoring this year, we were 3 Market Environment baffled. How would we tackle a behavior that was commonplace in college? How would we change a behavior at all? We got to work and 4 Industry Trends 5 found a way. It isn’t linear, it isn’t judgemental, and it certainly isn’t a scare tactic. Situational Analysis We took everyday consequences of binge drinking and made it the focal point. Instead of 6 Primary Research 7 death and disease, we focused on our target’s social needs. Now wait, we know what you are thinking, and the answer is no, we aren’t Target Analysis 9 playing this serious situation down. We are just talking to our peers as we would want to be Objectives & Strategy talked to. We don’t want fingers pointed at us, we don’t want to feel shamed, we don’t want a lecture, and we certainly don’t want to feel 10 Creative Vision 20 Promotional Vision attacked. We just need a gentle nudge in the right direction every once in awhile. Simply put, we have devised a way to spread your message without pointing a finger at 25 Media Vision anyone, without shaming anyone, and with the reinforcement that you can party longer, remember more and still have a great night. 29 Campaign Summary 1
  • 3. A Combined Effort Research Who Are We? We are Central Michigan University. We are a school that breeds passionate individuals in their chosen fields. We are a group of dedicated young professionals that excel through hard work, determination and most of all, love for our education. We are a proud group who do not plan on getting by with an Ivy League name or the high priced tuition that comes with it. We succeed through our work-ethic, our determination, our inspiration and finally, our passion. Who Is Naked Advertising? Naked Advertising is the group of talented and passionate students who live and breathe marketing and advertising. This is not an assignment for class. This is not a required course; it is not even an elective. It is our dream, plain and simple. A dream that is so big, we take the time to add it to our already hectic schedules. Simply put, that is who we are. We find the way to research, plan and strategize to create a message that will impact our designated target audience. Mission Statement We at Naked Advertising strive to strip advertising to its most elemental form. We always look to create emotional brand experiences that will not only enrich the lives of our audience but engage them in innovative and creative ways. We study the past, view the present and predict the future for our advertising strategies. What The Century Council Stands For The Council's mission is to promote responsible decision-making regarding beverage alcohol and discourage all forms of irresponsible consumption through education, communications, research, law enforcement and other programs. How Naked & The Century Council Will Change Lives 2 Together, Naked and the Century Council will use innovative ways to deal with the issues and damages created by binge drinking among college students. This will be a campaign that pierces through past attempts of reaching this audience by engaging them before the behavior is demonstrated. Through creative uses of multi-media and a central viral idea, the awareness of what can be considered an after- thought problem will reach its threshold in the minds of our audience.
  • 4. Market Environment Research Overview The Account Planning team at Naked Advertising created a national internet survey that was taken by 1141 target members. We also ran several focus groups and conducted in-depth personal interviews. The goal was to explore the lives of everyday target members and solidify what we already knew was true. Drinking to the level of binge is socially acceptable with this “Connected Generation”. Positioning Our primary and secondary research revealed that binge drinking is a learned behavior and grows over time throughout a student’s college life. They believe what they are partaking in is not wrong by today’s standards and see it as normal behavior. It is not until after their night of drinking that they experience the aftermath of problems usually caused by binge drinking. Positioning Statement “The Great Night campaign literally puts the idea into the palm of your hands. Not only was I eager to see what the game had planned for my night based on my choices, it was great to be able to send it to friends and reflect on past experiences with them. This is probably the first time I’ve seen something like this be so well accepted, not just by the student body, but also the community itself. I’ve never heard of the Century 3 Council and I’ve never looked at what I did at night as a negative social behavior. What you have done here has really addressed both of those issues.”
  • 5. Industry Trends Research 2009 Top Trends Measuring Social Impact Pressure from above and below is forcing nonprofits to think more seriously about how they define their goals and evaluate their progress toward them. The days where organizations can get away with anec- dotal evidence of impact are quickly fading. Our Response: Naked Advertising and the Century Council will set the benchmark for how non-profit campaigns should be. The demand for change in our society is at its threshold and together we will shift non-profit advertising into a completely new echelon. This market will no longer be subjected to statistic-based advertising. No longer will a national campaign rollout without just cause. The “Great Night” campaign goes past statistics and encourages our audience to party longer by drinking less. The purpose of using test markets will also aid in the advancement of the campaign to allow necessary changes to be made before the national rollout. 2009 Top Trends Online Action Platforms The internet is dramatically expanding the ways in which we can aggregate and harness an individuals desire to contribute to change. Online action platforms will continue to grow as social entrepreneurs tap into their networks more creatively. Our Response: Our campaign for the Century Council is not just an awareness driver, it is a social experience. The campaign is 4 focused heavily on user-generated content and word of mouth marketing. To raise awareness correctly, we had to remove the behavior from the back of their minds and move it directly into their hands. For more information on how we utilized this trend please see the Website portion of the Creative Section.
  • 6. Situational Analysis Research Currently, our problem can be divided into three distinct realms. Our first realm deals with trouble looking beyond statistics. We have seen throughout the years the almost total failure of campaigns based on statistics. Even though these campaigns were excellent campaigns, they were not effective campaigns. They lacked a voice our target could relate to, and looked to instill fear. The second realm we find ourselves dealing with is that we aren’t trying to stop the first, second, or even third drink. We are trying to combat the drinks that drive the target into binging distinction. The Century Council prides its efforts and its campaigns on an exemplary amount of due dilligence. These distillers are already creating limited awareness about drinking responsibly and in moderation in their individual campaigns. The third realm is the challenge of changing a behavior. This is something normally found in psychology textbooks and the couches of professionals, it is rarely found in advertising. There are, however, some bright spots that have set the standard for social marketing campaigns. First, the “Truth” campaign courtesy of Crispin Porter + Bogusky and their creative effort to fight against tobacco. Second, the United Kingdom’s campaign “Know Your Limits” created by VCCP. 5 Any campaign that can help bring forward the problems and cause positive change is a campaign that should be celebrated within society. It reflects the positive nature advertising can bring and the limitless opportunities and power advertising holds.
  • 7. Primary Research Research At Naked we took it to heart to immerse ourselves in the research to fully understand how we can change this behavior. We knew how important research would be to this campaign, however we did take a rather irrational approach with our qualitative research. This year we were blessed to have individuals who have been, and are being trained in the art of Professional Selling. What they brought to the table allowed us to identify and fill what are commonly referred to as GAPs. These GAPs are the areas to which we can add value for our customer. This rather unorthodox methodology included such techniques as Listen, Acknowledge, Explore and Respond (LAER). It also opened new doors in treating the audience to what they truly are, an asset. These new practices allowed us to enter their “odds are” which is simply, being in their shoes. This program was used due to the curriculum that is involved. It is about creating relationships, understanding needs, values and motivations and finally it creates a solution that fulfills the customers’ needs. Why did we choose these methods? The answer is simple, to allow ourselves to not only fully understand the customer and their information, but allow us the opportunity to create a campaign that does not talk at them, but rather with them. { 1141 - Total Number of Surveys Completed 42% - Survey Response Rate 113 - Number of Personal Interviews 6 6 - Number of Focus Groups Conducted
  • 8. The Target Research A behavior has no face. It can take on any age, any gender, any ethnicity. Demographics Our target is men and women aged 18-24 attending college Psychographics “The Connected Generation”... ...is away at a university ...is searching for independence ...will go to any length to have a good time ...loves spending time with their friends ...wants a memorable experience Key Research Points 72.2% 68.8% Would listen to their best friend over anyone if they are receiving advice on drinking Consume alcohol with friends at a college apartment or a house party 62.1% Have gotten into a car with an intoxicated driver 35% Admitted to driving after consuming 4 to 5 drinks or more within 2 hours 59%Have blacked out while binge drinking 37%Say they can have up to 4 drinks before feeling intoxicated 12.8% Consume 5 or more drinks in a 2 hour period 3 to 4 times per week 7 80.1% Are getting alcohol from their older friends 27.1% Are scared MOST by what their parents would think when it comes to their drinking habits
  • 9. The Shadow Market Research After studying the data, we realized there was one key point we also needed to make when creating our campaign and addressing our main target. We were asked to target the 18-24 year old college market. When looking at the research it pointed out that binge drinking is a learned behavior and increases over time. Our research helped us discover that a majority of underage drinkers get their alcohol from older friends and family. With that in mind, we knew that we needed to create a message that not only had insight into the college market, but also had the legs to reach the shadow market of 14-17. With a communication plan focused completely on the target audience, our message has the ability to reach the shadow market through word-of-mouth. With younger siblings and friends still in high school, we could properly reach the shadow market through peer-to-peer communication. Since this is a learned behavior, we felt that it was necessary to make sure we created a message that could plant the desired seed of knowledge into the shadow market. 8
  • 10. Campaign Objectives Our main assignment, according to the 2009 NSAC Case Study is “to develop an integrated communications campaign to combat dangerous overconsumption of Strategy alcohol by college students, where each one of the components (tactics) can be implemented independently, if needed, and still be effective.” In addition to this main objective, Naked Advertising added a few more specific objectives we felt would be essential to completing the main task. These secondary objectives taken individually help make small noise into a collective roar. • Develop an effective and efficient one stop shop for all audience and media needs • Involve both the student body and the community • Create an ala cart menu of engaging multi-media • Create positive PR opportunities for colleges and media outlets by publicly acknowledging them • Implement test markets by August 2009 and measure effectiveness by November 2009 Our strategy was borne of our research, which told us that binge drinkers do not think they are binge drinkers. The definition means nothing to them. Our research also told us that our target would listen to their friends, first and foremost. Strategy Dude, don’t waste a great night. “Dude”, because our research indicates it must be your best friend doing the talking. “Don’t waste a great night” because we want that to become the target’s goal. 9 To ride the buzz, to make the party last longer, and ultimately to have even MORE fun. We want them to accomplish this through smarter, slower, wiser drinking.
  • 11. Creative Vision Objectives Create social awareness of The Century Council’s message of having a Great Night Drive the audience to www.GreatNight.com Maintain the seriousness of the behavior and situation, but approach the delivery in a lighter tone Execute the strategy of “Dude, don’t waste a great night.” Creative Concept Through all our research and testing, our research-based thoughts were proven right. The target did not respond well to any of our concepts that included shaming them, making them feel guilty, or concepts that dwelled on statistics. Any ideas we had to use statistics in the ads themselves were quickly pushed aside, because we were assured by the target that it wouldn’t change their behavior. From there, we knew exactly what type of creative executions we needed to produce. Something needed to take shape that showed our target that wasting their college years blacked out or throwing up was a waste of great nights with friends, a waste of life period. Consistency The following elements appear in all of our executions: The Century Council logo Microsoft’s TAG technology (print) The “Dude, Don’t Waste a Great Night” tagline The website, www.GreatNight.com A color palette that is in keeping with the website, and black as backgrounds Pre-testing In preparation for our test market roll-out. We at Naked felt it was necessary to test the overall concept and design on the Central Michigan University campus. The overall response was positive, here are some key quotes. From the students… • “That is your typical college apartment party” Sophomore, Jason Magureny • “The examples for the consequences are more realistic and less blatant” Freshman, Brittany Andrews • “Cool site ” Sophomore, Brad Hustaloski • “Different, but different good” Senior, Nicole Kollias 10 From the Administration… • “The public acknowledgement is a huge plus!” – College of Business Dean, Dr. Mike Fields • “Why hasn’t this approach been tackled yet?” Marketing Strategy Professor, Dr. Michael Garver • “This really seems to stand in the shoes of the audience” Consumer Behavior Professor, Dr. Richard Divine • “The website idea is excellent and the situations in the game reminded me of my good times in college” Professor of Professional Sales, Ken Cherry
  • 12. Interactive We knew that to start changing behaviors we had to create an interactive experience that invites the user in and then allows them to share with others. With this in mind, we created an application that can be used in a multitude of ways. On your cell phone, on your Facebook profile, even online at the website. It was designed to show users exactly how their night can end up by making the wrong, or right, drinking deci- sions. The application has the same continuity across all media, but the differences lie with how the app will be Creative spread amongst the target. When played on a cell phone, users have the option to send it to friends through a text. “Great Night” results can also be uploaded to Facebook or Twitter to show others what their great night entails. Naked Advertising teamed up with RockYou! to create a strategy-guided Facebook application. The application will consist of a new photo album that users can put onto their profiles which is themed to music of their choice. The application will be named “Your Great Night Moments” and is designed to act as a secondary source of user-generated content by allowing the users the opportunity to upload their photos to the game. This will also work in concert with the online version, as users will be able to upload their own photos there for future players to “receive” in their end scenarios. 1 2 3 Introductory Screen (1) Players choose their total drinks (2) Players choose their time period (3) 11 Isn’t your MOM on Facebook now?

  • 13. The Website The website, found at www.GreatNight.com, was created to exude a personality. It has a fresh and friendly feel with bright colors and easy navigation. The website is flash-based, which allows us to incorporate minimal navigation. The main page will have five flash sites load into the main screen upon being selected. Each of the five pages will have their own drop down navigation options within that also load to the main frame. The way the website is formatted keeps the user from navigating away from www.GreatNight.com until they leave the site entirely.

  • 18. Television Our television spots are designed to get the buzz about our application going, and to drive tra c to the website. We have devised two di erent styles of spots, one to appeal to men and one to appeal to women. Both deal with the social pressures and commonplace of drinking in college. Creative This speci c t.v. spot appeals to women. In it, a girl goes to a party and gets a text message from a friend. Upon opening it, she realizes that it is a night predictor, our app. She interacts with it and realizes that her night would end in a much more appealing way if she slows her drinking down and truly enjoys the party. A college girl enters a party and meets After receiving a text message she begins She chooses too many drinks and sees some up with her friends. interacting with the Great Night App. undesirable conclusions to her night. She reacts in a grossed out, disgusted way She chooses a more modest amount of Not long after, the guy she is attracted to and quickly hits reset to begin again. drinks and sees very favorable endings approaches her and asks her if she wants to 17 to her evening. sit. The music fades up, screen fades to black and the www.GreatNight.com super fades in.
  • 19. Print All print executions will be interactive print ads. In keeping with the target interaction the game tends to receive, the print should be just as engaging and interesting. All ads have Microsoft’s TAG technology in the bottom left corner (see Media section for more information.) Just like television, all print will be designed to have a female appeal, or a male appeal. The ideal placement for the print we’ve designed is either as a newspaper insert, or as posters around the college campuses. Our research shows that although most of the target reads national Creative newspapers online, their college paper is the exception to the rule. Isn’t your MOM on Facebook now? Mmmm.... That’ll taste good later... 6 Drinks in 2 Hours 5 Drinks in 1 Hour Dude, Don’t Waste A Great Night Isn’t that your ride home???? Dude, Don’t Waste A Great Night www.GreatNight.com www.GreatNight.com 8 Drinks in 2 Hours Dude, Don’t Waste A Great Night www.GreatNight.com This series of print ads show the consequences of drinking too much too fast. As previously stated, we aren’t battling the rst, second or third drinks, we are battling irresponsible drinking. The crime in progress is wasting a night that you’ll never be able to get back. The cut line simply states how many drinks in how many hours caused the repulsive behavior in the photo. The tagline follows, with a directive to visit the 18 website. Microsoft’s TAG technology is in the left hand corner, and the ACE, AdCouncil and Century Council logo’s are in the right corner.
  • 20. Guerilla Guerilla advertising is an important aspect to our campaign. The three examples you see would be implemented on college campuses by college students as part of our Concert Series Promotion, which will be explained within the next few pages, all will also be available for download. Creative Objective To make it through this interview without puking on the CEO. Education This is a flyer that would be tacked on bulletin boards around campus.

  • 21. Promotional Vision Objectives Incorporate pop culture into a social awareness campaign Creative Create extended partnerships with valuable sponsors to create longevity of the core message Generate buzz and drive the Connected Generation to the Great Night website Strategy Utilize all promotional ideas to reinforce awareness on what a “Great Night” is. Tactics/Rationale Naked Advertising developed a promotional menu that allows users to live a Great Night and also show others what a Great Night encompasses and what the benefits are. By partnering with American Idol, America’s Best Dance Crew (ABDC) and VH1’s “You Oughta Know” artists, we will be able to bring events to campuses that will motivate students and communities to take an active role in spreading the message and incorporating the message in their daily lives. 20
  • 22. Promotions Our Concert Series Creative Naked Advertising will bring together the message of a great night with the entertainment of American Idol, ABDC and VH1’s “You Oughta Know” artists. These three were chosen because they not only represented a collective entertainment value that is strong with our audience, but also because their beliefs are ingrained in their favorite shows and music. We felt it would be a misjudgment to include popular groups and solo artists that have an established “public identity” that does not t our message of drinking slower. This is to position Century Council as far away as possible from potential public relations backlashes created by celebrity endorsements. The partnership with these acts will allow them to not only spread a positive message but also create more awareness for their image and increase their record sales. The school with the most people who bring the message into their lives via the Facebook application, user-generated content, blogging, and tweeting will bring the free concert to their school. The RSO that raises the most awareness will also receive 50 backstage passes. They can enjoy the fruits of their labor or sell them as a fundraiser for a group trip. The decision is solely up to them. 21 The winning RSO of the winning school in each conference will be placed in a drawing for a chance to win a once in a lifetime trip to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. This trip will include hotel and airfare for up to 50 members and will give the executive board of that RSO the opportunity to announce the Best New Artist award.
  • 23. Promotions SWAG & Merchandise As we all know, you can never give a college student too much free stuff. We developed an exclusive line of SWAG and merchandise which will serve two purposes. The first purpose is to be included in the package that campuses receive upon registering their university on the website. They will get a bunch of SWAG, as well as instructions for downloading all Creative the creative executions off the website. A guide will be developed to give the universities tips on how to get the message out. The university will be responsible to decide how the SWAG is distributed. The second purpose is to create merchandise to be sold in the Store section of the website. All SWAG will be available for purchase, as well as some more exclusive items. The idea is to get the students excited about wearing our gear, hanging our posters and sporting our SWAG. Registered Student Organizations will be offered a group discount, as well as the option to customize SWAG further by adding their logo. All proceeds from Store sales will rotate back to the Century Council to put into other projects, or to keep funding more contests and involvement for the Great Night campaign. Can Koozies and lanyards are everyday SWAG that spread the message and come in handy for college students. The chalking stencils will be 3 feet long by 1 foot tall and will be perforated in the middle to tear into two. The purpose is to get students chalking the message on their campuses. www.greatnight.com 22 ------------------------------------------ www.greatnight.com Our t-shirt line comes in 5 colors with different sayings on the back. When shopping, users have the option to customize their favorite saying with their favorite color.

The university would be responsible to decide Creative how to dole out the money, but the ideal way would be to give it to RSOs who have shown an interest and dedication to spreading the Great Night across their campuses. The donations would be a one-time contribution that essentially thanks the various universities for supporting this very important message.

  • 26. Media Vision Objectives Incorporate all aspects of media in one collective website Focus publicity efforts on directing our target to the “Great Night” website Develop test markets that create brand advocates and early adopters Media Strategy Naked Advertising plans to utilize the Great Night website by turning it into a digital media kit that is accessible to students, universities, and desired media outlets Tactics/Rationale Our creative executions that involve traditional placement will be given a digital soul. Once the campaign is out of the test markets and loaded with the user-content, it will take on the normal life cycle of a PSA in terms of traditional media placement. However, media outlets will be encouraged to rotate the commercial into peak viewing times courtesy of our public “Thank You”. We felt it was best to put the students to work on a location where they would know the high traffic areas, which would give us the amount of impressions needed to create change. The website will allow everyone to download the commercials and PDF files of the posters and “while you were out” flyers. This one-stop digital shop will allow ease of access to the files and everyone the ability to share as much as they want. 25
  • 27. Digital Revolution We knew with our media choices we would have to make sure our campaign would leap beyond the norms of 21st century media decisions. Our goal is to set the standard for media planning in the digital age and show precisely when the concept of simplicity can bring your message directly to your audience. The idea of going almost completely digital with this campaign allowed us to help the Century Council do their part in environmental sustainability. How We Did It We decided to go “almost” completely digital to create ease of access to our message. This was due in part since the Media Connected Generation is plugged in and online 24/7. The website allowed us to turn our executions into digital files that could be viewed on our audiences computer or cell phones. It gives the media outlets freedom to choose which commercial best suits their channel. It allows the message to be properly communicated and shared. And finally, because this is the way the Connected Generation said they wanted to see it. Our one digital problem lied within our print, that is until we did a little MORE research. The most unique thing about our posters is that technology will be incorporated into them. That’s right, technology incorporated into print. We partnered with Microsoft to allow the Connected Generation the ability to go directly to www.GreatNight.com by simply taking a picture of the graphic located in the bottom corners of our print. Not only does this create a unique experience for our audience, it will also increase the awareness of Microsoft’s new technology known as TAG. What Is TAG? “Microsoft Tag creates unlimited possibilities for making interactive communications an instant, entertaining part of life. They transform physical media (print advertising, billboards, product packages, information signs, in-store merchandising, or even video images)—into live links for accessing information and entertainment online.” -Microsoft Website TAG will link real-life with the digital world. It is a free download that can be packaged with our game application or downloaded separately. This creates yet another unique Great Night experience for the Connected Generation to enjoy what they value most—the latest technology that they can share with all their connected friends. The “Real Simple Syndication” of our message We at Naked feel strongly about the advancement of web 2.0 and its limitless capabilities. Our website www.GreatNight.com will be equipped to spread our message via RSS to the outside community. The “Rocked It” 26 tab in the University section will be syndicated to reach all educational feeds that are supported by the universities. The “Sponsored It” tab in the Media section will be supported by all media related feeds. Both of these tabs will also be combined to feed into all appropriate feeds that can help reach not just the general public but also journalists to help spread the message.
  • 28. The Launch Pad Test Markets We knew that a campaign like this would take off, as soon as it had a little exposure. In order to shine the light on this innovative new way to connect with our target, we realized implementation of test markets in different geographic areas was a must. Here’s how we did it. When choosing our test market schools we first had to ask ourselves some questions. Are they located in college town as opposed to large metropolis areas? Is their enrollment between 20,000 and 30,000 students? Are they “recognizable”? Media Do they represent a separate geographic location? In order to qualify, all answers would have to be “Yes.” The schools we ended up choosing are a perfect fit for the markets we wanted to test. University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, NC Total Enrollment: 26,878 Texas Tech Lubbock, TX Total Enrollment: 28,442 University of Iowa Iowa City, IA Total Enrollment: 28,705 University of Connecticut Storrs, CT Total Enrollment: 29,383 The schools are spread across the country and have been pinpointed in different regions to mimic different regional cultures that could be associated with drinking. Granted most college students “act” the same when dealing with this type of behavior, however, we felt it was necessary to keep customer focused and ensure the content we are showing people is accepted within the various markets. The money that we allocated to our test markets will help cover the cost of the concerts, SWAG production, and also cover the placement in these affordable media markets. This will help us guarantee their placement is at peak viewing times for the Connected Generation. But Why? By using these test markets it allows us not only to create possible brand advocates and early-adopters, but it will provide us with the much needed research and feedback to create a successful and impactful national campaign. Our test markets will provide a great amount of user-generated content and the overall spreading of the message in its early stage. The Benefit For Century Council By testing, the Century Council will receive the feedback that will be necessary to pull the trigger on this national 27 campaign. It will provide key data that they can send to the universities to get them on board and bring a Great Night to their campus. For the Test Market It will allow the four test markets the opportunity to take pride in their campus and also bring them a guaranteed concert to their campus, but also the top RSO of that campus will automatically be entered into the national drawing for the MTV experience.
  • 29. Timing & Budgets 5% 2.5% Budget We’ve distributed the 10 million dollar budget we were given to several areas. The majority of the money is being spent on things that tie the campaign directly to the universities, with some smaller amounts of money going towards the new website and “Thank You” ads in major publications, like the Wall Street Journal and USA Today. Media 27.5% 35% 30% Legend University Donations & Campus Kit Test Market Implementation Production “Thank You” Ad Space Website Creation & Maintenance Timing 28 As you can see, we’ve not provided any speci c media timetable because it is up to the Universities and the Media Outlets to place the PSAs we provide on our website. The only timing we’ve incorporated into this plan would be the test markets we outlined earlier. As stated, we’ve allocated 3 million dollars for placement of media in the test markets and the timing for the test markets to run is late August 2009 to early November 2009.
