    26 DEALERSHIP

    Once upon a campaign, a group of devoted individuals embarked on a creative journey.

    The challenge at hand was lofty: create a fully integrated campaign for Nissan that

    will increase muticultural millennial market share among African American, Chinese,

    and Hispanic segments. Cedar banks rose to the occasion, realizing that simple

    modications to the current Nissan campaign would not sufce.

    Innovation for all is falling on deaf ears, preached to a target that does not view

    Nissan as an innovative brand. They are instead turning to the competition, settling for

    generic car features far inferior to Nissan. The question becomes why? Why is Nissan,

    an automotive manufacturer that has everything the target craves, being dismissed

    so quickly? More importantly, how can we change this perception and translate it intosales? After extensive research, we identied opportunities to strike up a conversationwith multicultural millennials and set Nissan apart from the competition.

    Frankly, our target is bored. Automotive manufacturers have many opportunities for

    great advertising, but few often achieve resonance and opt for the safe route instead.

    Our target has seen the standard rolling shots of cars before, and theyve made it

    clear. This bland approach will not change their opinion about a vehicle, let alone make

    them consider a purchase. They want to be taken on a journey: to be told a story while

    witnessing what a vehicle can actually do. Despite failed advertising attempts, vehicles

    are still selling and positive associations with certain brands still exist. We found that

    the target is relying on word of mouth. Their perceptions of automotive brands stem

    from friends and family members, not advertising.

    Nissan strives to be innovative with every decision they make and this is evident when

    anyone gets behind the wheel of a Nissan vehicle. In order for our smart and savvy

    target to believe this claim, they need more than just a brands promise: they need to

    be educated on Nissans innovative features, they need to experience the vehicle rsthand, and they need reassurance from friends and family.

    Our campaign will accomplish all of this and more. By immersing the target in stories of

    innovation and encouraging them to interact with the brand in every execution, Nissan

    will nally be recognized as the innovative company it is. This recognition coupled with

    promotions and events designed to get the target into Nissan vehicles will ultimatelydrive sales, increase multicultural share, and make Nissan a household name.

    {Research}With such a diverse target market, we knew standard research models

    would not sufce. We had to be exible: to rst identify who the targetwas and then take further action based on responses from every stage.

    We began with a research base, grounded in surveys and extensive

    secondary research. With an idea of the targets vehicle preferences,

    media consumption, and everyday lives, we began to develop more

    specic questions. New research tactics were utilized in order toanswer questions from the previous stage.

    Along the way, an interesting pattern arose. While the next step in

    research provided answers, it also spawned a new set of questions.

    We decided to continue along this path, constantly questioning and

    inventing new tactics in response. Once we had a rm grasp on thetarget, Nissan, and the intersection of the two, three different campaigns

    were formulated. Each campaign was evaluated by members of our

    target, and input from the target was utilized in order to create one

    powerful, relevant campaign.

    Research Methods

    Waiting on Kyle for this. Whoop whoop. Party.

    THERE WERE MANY SIMILARITIES PER GROUP. STARTED TO REALIZE

    THAT MAYBE WE SHOULD VIEW IN TERMS OF COMMONALITIES

    INSTEAD OF THEIR DIFFERENCES.

    Research }Once a research base was established, our focus shifted. We wanted to gain an

    understanding of the demographic that went beyond basic, supercial statistics.

    To achieve this goal, Cedar Banks conducted focus groups with all three

    segments of the target. Through this process, we were able to uncover

    information specic to the target segments, as well as many commonalitiescrucial to address in our campaign.

    Chinese, African American and Hispanic segments alike expressed that they

    are portrayed unfairly in the media. They crave to be acknowleged as human

    beings, not as multicultural segments. With that being said, they dont need tobe inundated with stereotypes in advertising. Our target is much more receptive

    to subtle cultural cues and details. In fact, the commercials with the highest

    unaided recall were those with no blatant multicultural ties whatsoever.

    Another nding that could not be ignored was the targets sensitivity to storylines.All segments wanted to be taken on a journey, and advertisements that failed to

    live up to this expectation were berated.

    Prefer story lines in advertising over straight selling,specically action-packed spots that were fun tofollow

    Feel as though they are unfairly portrayed in the media Want to be acknowledged as multicultural, but not

    through blatant targeting

    Notice subtle cultural details, reinforcing the ideathat advertisers do not need to blatantly advertise a

    multicultural target View the current Nissan campaign as unrealistic and

    irrelevant

    Are aware of Nissan as a brand, but feel no connectionto it whatsoever

    Are unaware of Nissans product line, vehicle featuresand benets

    Look for cars based on a specic set of features

    Who is our target beyond the numbers?

    How do they feel about the Nissan brand?

    How do they feel about the actual vehicles?

    New Issues

    Throughout the focus groups, a theme emerged. When asked about Nissan, the target knew Nissan to be an automotive manufacturer. Those

    who have had experience with the brand spoke highly of Nissan; those who havent, however, had no knowledge of the product line, features or

    benets. Furthermore, if they havent actually been in a Nissan, they do not view Nissan as a innovative company.

    This was not the trend for all car brands. Members of our target did not need hands-on experience to view brands such as Ford, Chevy, Honda,and Toyota favorably or rattle off vehicle features. If a friend or family member trusted the brand, our focus group participants did as well.

    New questions arose as a result. Why is there no real attachment to the Nissan brand? Why are other brands favored over Nissan? Why is there

    the disconnect between the target and the vehicles? How does the perception of Nissan change when you have the target interact with thevehicles? Solutions to these daunting dilemmas would be provided by our next steps.

    Given that Nissan spots have some elements of story telling, we expected a positive reaction to current advertising efforts. Our target, however,

    was unresponsive. It became apparent that the vehicle cant simply be dropped into a story. The target wants to see what a vehicle can actually

    do for them. A marriage of storylines, vehicle features and brand benets has to exist in order to speak to this target.

    Key FindingsFocus Groups

    Why does a brand that they havent interacted with become part of the evoked set? We asked about their favorite car brand. Always had an answer, but

    it wasnt because they found the brands to be cool or desirable walking around the lot. Again, it was because family and friends talk about them or have

    owned them. The goal becomes HOW DO YOU GET FAMILY AND FRIENDS TALKING ABOUT NISSAN. NEED TO ENCOURAGE A CONVERSATION

    BETWEEN NISSAN, THE TARGET, AND THOSE AROUND THE TARGET. This is how you sell a Nissan.

    Once in a Nissan, they loved i! Need to get them in the car.

    Talk about dealership problems here.

    Competitive Analysis & SWO } Why are other brands favored over Nissan?Why is there no real attachment to the Nissan brand?Cedar Banks identied the features, benets and advertising other automotive brandscurrently employ. The majority of the companies actively reach out to the target by

    pairing their vehicles with pop culture. They also advertise heavily via television and

    social media - the heaviest consumed media by our target.

    We decided to run a SWOT to see where Nissan currently stands in relation to other car

    manufacturers strengths. The highlights are as follows:

    To gain favor with our target, Nissan should keep the current Innovation for All theme.

    Innovation is what sets Nissan apart and is Nissans niche in a cluttered market; This

    innovation, however, needs to be presented differently.

    Current advertisements highlight all the innovative features as a montage. A better

    angle is to feature innovations the target segments actually care about. Nissans main

    strength pairs so well with the targets demands that it would be foolish to ignore such

    an opportunity. If presented in a creative manner with an innovative air that only Nissancan provide, the threat from other automotive brands will be minimized.

    Arican AmericansThe African American segment of the target feels that their cars are a

    reection of themselves; therefore, they select cars they can tailor totheir personalities. When considering a vehicle, their main concerns

    include fuel economy, style, price, safety and warranties, and they

    gravitate toward sedans. Because they are price-conscious, brandloyalty is not a deciding factor for this segment.

    Due to a general distrust of dealerships, the African Americansegment looks to family and friends when purchasing a car. Family

    has a huge inuence over how they interact with brands andpurchase vehicles. Additionally, they are social media savvy, and

    their purchase decisions are heavily inuenced by the Internet andword-of-mouth.

    ChineseThe Chinese segment values quality over price. They have a higer

    disposable income than the other target segments and are willing

    to spend extra on a brand name product. They stick to brands theylike, but will switch for novelty and change.

    Fuel economy, safety and interior styling are identied as must-have features for this segment. Above all, the target seeks smaller

    vehicles with a sleek, modern body design when making purchase

    considerations.

    The internet is a trusted source for information; however, family

    plays a major role in the decision making process. They are tech-savvy, especially when it comes to mobile technology.

    HispanicThe Hispanic segment values strength and durability in their

    vehicles. Other primary factors in their automotive purchase

    decisions include price, speed, safety and exterior styling. They

    value customization and believe that everything from exterior color

    to audio systems can make a car unique. Research shows they

    are particularly drawn to trucks,SUVs and sedans. Although this

    segment is brand conscious, they are not brand loyal.

    The Hispanic segment weighs many alternatives before purchasing

    and seeks the advice of family before making a decision. Word-of-mouth plays a large role in the way they acquire information, and

    their primary trusted source of media is the Internet. They consume

    both in-language and mainstream media, but are most likely toconsume in-language when at home.

    Innovation is seeing where the uture is going.

    Te uture... it's not just black, white, asian;it's a unity, and soon that's what the worldis going to be. And i companies see thatand they embrace that in their commercialsand their products and marketing strategies,then that's what people will look to.

    Even though there were many commonalities between target

    segments, we couldnt help but notice that feature preferences for

    each segment were very distinct. Information acquisition differs

    slightly per segment as well.

    {Concept esting}

    What I like about this is that its unconventional in the way that when we look

    at our advertising its very sexualized. Theres a lot of violence sometimes.

    There are all these things that are very powerful. You guys are almost

    substituting that with cleverness. You see that and you say Oh. That is

    clever. Thats an attention grabber. Thats what I like about (campaign two).

    Its not offensive. I like the concept of it. I like it a lot

    Overview goes here. Needed a campaign that is feature driven, screams innovation, relies on stories, encourages a conversation

    about Nissan, gets everyone involved.

    {o Grandmothers House We Go}Execution Month/sOur campaign kick off events will allow ourtarget to experience the innovation of Nissan

    while setting foot into the Red Riding Hood

    tale. At three popular summer music festivals

    - Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and Coachella -Nissan will set up mobile versions of Reds

    forest to walk through. Once inside, concert

    attendees will complete a series of tasks with

    the help of Nissan features.

    First, participants will use a Nissan GPS to

    get directions for the path of their choice: Red

    Riding Hoods or the Big Bad Wolfs, and enterthrough their designated door. At the door,

    participants will choose theme music from a

    selection of the festivals performing artists,

    highlighting Nissans music capabilities and

    the Bose sound system. Next, they will

    navigate their way through a fog-lled areausing the Nissan Altimas undercarriage lights

    to illuminate their path. Once participants

    complete the course, they will pop open an

    Altima trunk to receive branded drawstring

    bags and promotional materials, generatingbrand buzz during the festival. Full size

    Nissan models will surround the trailer giving

    the target an opportunity to sit in the Nissan

    vehicles, explore features and take pictures to

    share with friends and family.

    {Pandora Banner}Execution Month/sOur pandora banner ads will bring an additional

    interactive component to our fairy tales while

    showcasing Nissans top of the line navigation

    system. By clicking on either characters hand, thetarget will be directed to the Choose Your Own

    {Tree Bear Dare}Execution Month/sThrough focus groups, we found that most of our target is unaware

    of Nissans modern designs and the brands innovation. To showcase

    these strengths, Nissan will run the Three Bear Dare promotion. During

    the campaigns second leg, people can test-drive three different Nissanvehicles to see which is just right. After the test-drives, customersreceive a scratch-off for a gas card worth $25 to $50. This offer willencourage our target to get behind the wheel of a Nissan and visit their

    local dealership. Nissan will promote This Nissan is Just Right via

    social media.

    {Elevator Wrap}Execution Month/sTo unexpectedly capture the attention of our target, elevator wraps will

    be placed within the top ten U.S. cities where our target lives. Not

    only will this place members of our target into the story, but it will also

    the top ten highest populated Asian American

    cities in the country. These modied vehicleswill have fully functional interiors and the

    windshields will be replaced with screens that

    will display a Snow White video game. In the

    game the target will compete against each

    other in a race to pick up the seven dwarfs inthe fastest time. The driver controls the game

    two malls located around the targeted cities.

    This virtual experience will appeal mainly to

    the Chinese American segments, who value

    technology the most and spend the most timeplaying video games, according to research.

    The game will also appear at the Consumer
