A marquee brand, Mercedes has lost territory to the Audis and BMWs. Mercedes is considered old money. Audi and BMW are considered new money. But with the NGCCs, especially the A-Class, Mercedes is compelling the younger market to take a second look both for youthful spirit and price. On social, Mercedes want to increase their FB fan base, increase conversation, positive sentiment and conversion to test drives and get serious consideration for their range of cars. Mercedes is also looking to deploy digital app on the different social web elements. Getting local influencers to test drive the A-Class leverages on PR. This allows for further engagement for target audience who have liked the FB pages. THE BRIEF | MERCEDES | 14 MAY 2013 5. TARGET AUDIENCE 6. TARGET AUDIENCE We are talking to 25 year olds, skewed towards males. These are scions of big fathers with pots of money. Or young self made affluent professionals. They are born with a silver spoon and love their toys. They are used to special treatment from a very young age, and might even be a bit arrogant as a result of their privileges. Based on a survey that Mercedes conducted, they have an affinity to the A class for its stunning looks and coupe (racy) style. TARGET AUDIENCE | MERCEDES | 14 MAY 2013 7. STRATEGIC PLANNING 8. STRATEGIC PLANNING | MERCEDES | 14 MAY 2013 Brand MERCEDES BENZ Social Brand Essence Contemporary Classics - The best or nothing STRATEGIC PLANNING NGCCs price & styling captures the spirit of youth Brand Experience 9. Brand INSIGHT Affluent Asians love to own status face symbols But the new generation wants a bit of anti- establishment, earned vs given cool to their symbols/toys. A sentiment linked to the un- corporate, laidback, startup culture cool and rich. They want to rise above their peers.

We will announce the locations through FB, Radio and other channels. Then we will invite the our audience to turn out in large numbers and participate. We are showing how normal people can get a taste of the celebrity lifestyle by getting themselves in situations where: 1. Be Awesome: Get on the pre-designed front cover of People, Vogue or GQ. Just upload your pic with our Celebrity. And share your covershot on FB. 2. Be Adored: Get on the red carpet of an Event. Just type in your name. And the App will make the crowd chant your name. Share it on FB. 3. Be A Listed: Search for the secret party location by #findtheAparty. Get your friends to help in your quest by liking your search to zoom in closer to the party location on Google maps until you land on the A-list. CREATIVE | MERCEDES | 14 MAY 2013 16. AWARENESS 17.
