4. The Situational Analysis
Socio- Cultural
factors
Economic factors
Political
factors
Environmental
Analysis
• An analysis of the
remote
environment of a
company is really
important
because it can
bring changes to
the way it
operates.
• This is where
trends and
strategic issues
start from. PESTEL
is a strategic tool,
useful in
modelling the
macro-environment
of SCE and identify
factors that can have
influence on its
strategic directions.
There are two major
political issues in the video
game industry that create
implications for SCE. The
first is the debate on
whether video games are
harmful for children due to
ultra violent content. There
have been many efforts on
the part of state and local
legislative bodies to
regulate access to games.
The second issue that the
industry has to confront is
the piracy issue. SCE has
won a landmark case in the
British High Court, with a
judge ruling that “the sale
of mod chip devices for the
Playstation 2 is illegal
under the UK's
implementation of the new
European Union Copyright
For Sony Computer
entertainment it is imperative
to analyze macroeconomic and
micro economic factors to
analyze key strategic issues,
problem areas, and
opportunities. The economic
factors determine the nature of
the competition within local
and global markets.
Macroeconomic stability -
Macroeconomic stability is the
major factor that affects the
potential of console sales and
console game sales. Low
interest rate creates a strong
stimulus for consumer
spending, whereas high interest
rate creates a strong stimulus
for saving.
Video games are now
standard part of our
culture. Twenty years of
video game history
behind us forged a huge
video game generation
(90 millions in U.S
alone), supporting an
industry which is in the
centre of the new
mainstream and not the
“geek haven” as many
might have assume.
Video games has
become a central
,defining part of growing
up for many millions of
people .

5. Objective
• O2 wanted to re-position itself in this campaign, which
encouraged consumers to "be more dog".
• To persuade consumers to be less cynical and
embrace new technologies using a cat that starts acting
like a dog. TV, cinema, press and poster ads led with
straplines including 'life's a stick, go chase it', alongside
a big social media drive.
• A dedicated website accompanies the campaign,
encouraging users to drop 'dog bombs' on friends.
• visit the website you could use a unique code whereby
you could play a game to throw a frisby from your
phone to the cat and have it try and catch it.

6. Strategy
• An idea so big and broad that it would effectively open customers minds
to the possibility of O2 being quite a different company in the future –
new kinds of products and services, a new kind of relationship, a quite
different brand...
• This campaign isn’t about a TV ad, or even a series of TV ads, it’s about
an attitude; a state of mind, an expectation not just of O2, but much
more importantly, of yourself.
• It’s about O2 being confident and brave enough to ask its consumers to
join it in an incredible journey of discovery and positivity, and have an
open mind about what an incredible place the world is today.
• To take on the challenges and opportunities of a digital age.

7. The first execution in the 'Be More' campaign is an ad called "be
more dog", designed to "help spread positivity, excitement and
inquisitiveness".
The ad encourages you to go to the O2 website where you meet
the cat-who-thinks-he-is-a-dog again. If you link your phone to
your computer using a QR code, you can play a game throwing a
frisbee at the dog on the screen. This is supposed to demonstrate
the technology of using your phone to drive other devices.
Dig deeper in the website, if you have not lost the will to live, and
you finally find out what the bloody hell all this be a dog stuff is
about. The answer is getting more out of your O2 phone, by
changing it when you want or using an O2 guru.

8. RESULTS
THEY DREW ON THE CHARM AND CHARACTER OF THE TV COMMERCIAL AND AMPLIFIED IT,
CREATING AN ENTERTAINING, INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE.
A SIMPLE USER EXPERIENCE AND IMMERSIVE GAMEPLAY WITH RICH ANIMATION AND HIGH
PRODUCTION VALUES ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO ITS SUCCESS.

1. The big idea
 Some people call this strategy. This is then executed across all media. It’s generally a distillation of your
product or company’s competitive benefit made real and actionable to your target market.
2. Insight
 Look at the customer first: preferences, buying patterns, media exposure, and other factors – and then expose
that customer to products and services that fit the customer’s needs via a mix of communication methods they
find attractive and credible.
3. Channel mix
 Successful integration requires understanding how a business works across a multi-channel environment.
View channels as an integrated network, rather than individual delivery mediums. The number of channel
options is massive and growing. Use this as an opportunity; with niche products such as some financial
services products, it allows specific targeting that is impossible with broadcast media.
4. Messaging
 A brand message echoed simultaneously across multiple media channels is better able to communicate to
consumers in a powerful, impactful and memorable way. Deliver a consistent message across the board, so
that each media platform used feeds into an over-arching narrative strategy. It’s not necessarily about
repeating the exact same message across ever channel, rather translating the theme or idea in a way that is
channel appropriate.
5. Know your brand
 This one is simple: Be true to the brand throughout. Be authentic.

10. 
6. Know your KPIs
 Set objectives at campaign and channel level so you know what each channel is supposed
to deliver as well as what you expect from the overall campaign.
7. Track, report and track some more
 Tracking allows you to plan more efficiently across different channels and calculate optimal
spend levels across the media mix. You can’t really measure these channels in silos. The
problem is if you measure [channel-specific tactics] in isolation, they don’t account for the
fact that they work together.
8. Help legal out
 Make sure your legal department is up to date with technology. And if they are not, then
help them out so they can understand how often antiquated rules apply in the New World.
9. Remember offline
 Any good marketer will know that just an online channels shouldn’t be considered in
isolation, neither should on and offline.
Learning

11. Conclusion
• The underlying message is that O2 want us to have a look at O2 in a new
light: using its mobile phones and technology to do more and make your
mobile life more interesting.
• The campaign’s objectives (as stated by O2) are specifically ‘to spread
positivity, excitement and inquisitiveness … to rid the UK of cynicism’ by
getting people to ‘embrace their inner dog’.”
• Technology should spark creativity and enthusiasm. This was our thinking
when creating the Be More Dog campaign. We moved beyond the typical
tap or click, incorporating gestures while taking advantage of
improvements in mobile browsers. In addition to the live-action TV spot,
the Moving Picture Company’s 3D department modeled 12 cat animations
for the online HTML5 Frisbee game.
