TABLE OF CONTENTS01EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Purchasing a car is a big commitment.For most, it is one of the biggest financial commitments of their lives. When Central Edge began studying the psychographics of our consumers, many things became clear. This is a brand loyal generation with high expectations from companies. When it comes to cars, it is not features, colors, or even price that drives them to purchase a car. They believe a company should do more than just provide products or services. They also have an expectation of community only involvement. They want to know how that brand is going to benefit them in their everyday lives. Over the past seven months, we conducted extensive research and strategized the most effective way to reach our target market. Central Edge associates spent a day in the life of numerous multicultural millennials to walk in their shoes. We crafted Cultural Analysis Maps to help guide us through the campaign and uncovered barriers that were stopping them from purchasing Nissan vehicles. On the following pages, we present the strategies and executions that will be effective in increasing market share among multicultural millennials who are 18 - 29 years-old. Our campaign will reinforce that Nissan is the most innovative automotive company in the world. Central Edge is confident that we have met all your objectives and exceeded Nissan’s expectations. In short, we have been as innovative as Nissan is.
- Scott Whisenhunt, Account Director
We are a diverse group of students with different majors, interests and ideas, but we all have the same belief that our client’s and their brands success comes first. With inventive ideas and strategy, our mission is to accomplish all of Nissans aspirations and desires. We believe we have done all of that and more.

WE ARE THE EDGE OF ADVERTISING
Multicultural Millennials: Nissan:
Nissan Campaign Driving Insight:
Where We Are... The Situation02
• As much as they are separated and defined by their culture and heritage… they are joined by their pursuit of being a part of the whole.
• They respect the past. But they look to the future fully confident that they can change it and correct the mistakes of those who went before them… they believe they can change the world.
• When it comes to buying a new car – they want style, features, speed and reliability but…their choice is driven by two factors: money and life-stage. These two factors will assist the consumer in making their final choice.
• They do not trust companies – and they don’t trust the advertising done by most companies.
• Consumers expect companies to pay a price for the right to do business…they want to buy from companies that do more than just make money.
• Nissan does not have a distinctive or clearly defined personality with its prospects.
• Nissan makes the Evoked Set list of most Multicultural Millennials, but it is so near the bottom that if they find a good deal on a higher ranking competitor – they never even look at a Nissan.
• Nissan really is an innovative company…that is not just advertising lingo (although our prospects don’t really understand what Nissan means by Innovation, and they aren’t really sure why they should care.
• Nissan is a company that pays back on a global basis - although our prospects view “paying back” as a more localized response.
• Nissan really does have a reason why it does what it does – beyond just making money. Their mission and vision is defined as “enriching people’s lives.”
While we gathered and analyzed information, we discovered several key truths about Multicultural Millennials and Nissan. These key findings drove Central Edge response to the problems and opportunities identified in this challenge as well as our overall campaign strategy. Ultimately, these key truths led to the insights that drove this campaign.
“Everything we do, we do because we believe in innovation. We believe in building cars that are unique, that deliver superior value. The way we challenge the status quo is by building quality vehicles that are more efficient, more beautiful, and more innovative than ever. We believe all companies should be good citizens in the global community; and to that end we focus on and contribute to humanitarian aid, supportive education, and caring for the environment. We just happen to make great cars.”

a part of the first generation of true digital natives. Multicultural Millennials are born into a global culture and defined by unifying, not distinguishing attitudes.
INSIGHTS07
{ { {
} } }
TARGET SEGMENTS 08All multicultural segments are unique and in many ways that uniqueness influences their shopping and buying habits, but when it comes to buying new cars – our research confirms that their buying habits are minimally influenced by cultural heritage – it is driven instead by their life stage and economic status, factors which impact virtually all car buyers.
When it comes to buying cars…despite their differences…four factors rise to the top of the influence set for all three segments:
style quality price life stage{ }
These factors separate them into two Primary buying segments and one secondary market
• Lower end of age category• Just finishing school; starting careers• Style and price driven• Feature desirous• First new car purchase• Usually single• Often a family assisted purchase• Competitively confused• Peer influence is high• Family input is important• Probable Nissan Purchase: Versa and Altima
• Older end of age dynamic
• Building career
• Style and feature driven
• Price sensitive
• With a partner – often a family
• Concerned about family and peer impression
• Influence buying decisions• Opinion Leaders on purchase choice• Provide financial assistance for some buyers

THE COMPETITION09
How to distinguish Nissan from its competition? Our research clearly told us that when our prospects think about car brands and begin the car selection process they have difficulty separating one cars features from another…and that they have NO CLEAR perception of NISSAN as a BRAND and assign NO BRAND PERSONALITY to its cars
The Buying ProcessWhat consumers do first in the buying decision process is recall the perception of a brand. Once they have accessed their evoked set of brands, built from awareness and perceptions- only then do they begin to contrast features.
How do we expand sales with Multicultural Millennials beyond 25 percent? How do we stand-out from our competitors?
By creating a distinctive brand personality and position, not just create awareness of features.
Making it into the evoked set is in great part determined by positioning - how consumers perceive our brand in comparison with its competitors.
They know our name... but they don’t connect with us. Nissan lacks a strong brand identity or personality.
It’s not about comparing features…it’s about realizing what connects us and
making us memorable.

Central Edge used the Vehicle Innovation Strategy Framework to define the personalities of Nissan and its competitive set in order to clarify brand personas. We have developed a campaign designed to distinguish and create a distinctive brand personality for Nissan to build stronger and specific brand recall…a true competitive difference. This concept is based on a specialized application of Brand Archetypes and their ability to relate to car buyers.
Our campaign is carefully designed to shift Nissan’s brand perception with Multicultural Millinnials from the Fast Follower to the Architectural Revolutionizer. By stragicially positioning Nissans Innovation and building new relationships with MultiCultural Millinnials we will show them that Nissan does much more than make vehicles. They make vehicles to improve their lives and the way they move through the world.
Create a distinct position and bring the brand position to life…

It’s all about the brand.…it’s all about what Multicultural Millennials think about the brand.It’s about what happens when the decision to buy a new car is made.
Why isn’t Nissan at the top of Multicultural Mil-lennial’s go to list?
• Our prospects tell us they don’t have any perception of Nissan that makes it stand out from the crowd.
• They tell us increasingly features and claims have blended into a muddle of confusion. They remind us that once one company has a new feature it is quickly copied.
• It is true that all we can own is our consumer’s percep-tion of our brand..
• Our first challenge is to create a distinctive personality that distinguishes Nissan from other brands…an identity our prospect’s can build a relationship and a trust.
• Then Central Edge looked at biology to understand how we process, understand and respond to mes-sages. Part of or brain (the neocortex) is responsible for rational and analytical thought and language. The other two sections are responsible for all our feelings and language they are responsible for loyalty and trust and for human behavior and decision making
Central Edge research made us reconsider what we thought we knew about buying a new car:
• We discovered that Nissan is in the evoked set… but, it is near the bottom of that list.
• Our prospects have a difficult time separating advertis-ing for one brand of car from another.
• Prospects are confused about the features offered by one brand compared to another.
• Two factors determine our prospect’s final decision:
THE DECISION TO BUY:THE PURCHASE INFLUENCERS11

Desire for style but most important are money and financing options.
Lifestage needs…young and single or settling down with kids in the car.
{ }
Then Central Edge looked at biology to understand how we process, understand, and respond to messages. Part of the brain (the Neocortex) is responsible for rational and analytical thought and language. The other two sections are responsible for all of our feelings and language, they are responsible for loyalty, trust in addition to human behavior and decision making.
When we communicate from the Outside-In, we are talking to the neocortex - most car advertising that stresses lists of facts, features, and benefits is delivered there. People exposed to these messages can process complex advertisements, but those messages do not drive behavior.
Advertising that is Inside-Out talks directly to the part of the brain that controls behavior. Inside-Out advertising is based on an emotional relationship - this is where gut decisions come from - it means breaking through to change perceptions with perceptual impact... if we can communicate to prospects why Nissan is a different company - why they do what they do and how that makes them distinctive... that causes consumers to respond through positive behavior.
Our goal is not to sell to people who need a new car. Our goal is to sell to people who believe in what we are and why we do what we do.
What does that mean to our campaign and to Nissan?12

OBJECTIVES
13Marketing Objectives:• To increase enquiry to sales
conversion rate from 4% to 7%
• To increase Nissan showroom and online enquiries among Multicultural Millennials to 1,457,914 units
• To increase Nissan’s share of market with Multicultural Millennials by 13% (15,187 units)
Communication Objective:Our communication objective is to build a distinctive and memorable persona among Multicultural Millennials by generating a carefully crafted relationship-oriented brand identity.
Creative Objective:Our objective is to generate creative that doesn’t add to the existing clutter of car advertising. We will generate a brand personality that reflects the voice and attitude of Multicultural Millennials with ads that lead them to search for information about Nissan and why it is an innovative company that’s working to enrich peoples’ lives.
CAMPAIGN STRATEGY14Multicultural Millennial Americans are very complex. They are tech savy, unique and know they are the future. Most importantly they don’t like advertising and they don’t trust companies.
In our research it became more evident that, in order to break through and build a lasting relationship with them, we had to do two things:
IN SHORT we are working to beas Innovative as Nissan
Long Lasting Sales $==
1
2
We had to break negative perceptions and create a new perception of Nissan as a car company that does much more than just build vehicles. A perception that we are a company that enriches their lives by contributing to their communities,environment and their world.
We have to move Nissan to the Top of MulitCultural Millennials evoked set, which ultimately will increase long lasting brand favorability for generations to come.
• In Today’s automotive market, consumers are saturated with different styles, colors and messages. Our campaign strategy does much more than advertise cars to Multicultural Millennial Americans. It is carefully designed to forge a new relationship with them. By relating INNOVATION for ALL to their everyday lives.
• From the beginning, Central Edge planners were more than convinced that adding “just another tag line” wouldn’t be successful.
• Plain and simple, it would just confuse them.
• Our campaign is Carefully designed to impact and make the Innovation for All theme meaningful to Multicultural Millennials.
• Our campaign executions must reach millennials wherever they are, whatever they see, whenever they see it.
• We are using a combination of traditional, non-traditional and inventive communications strategies.

VISION LEADS TO EXECUTION
Nissan’s Brand Idea:Enriching people’s lives.
Central Edge Brand Idea: Multicultural Millennials seek to do business with companies that they trust and respect – companies that contribute to the world in which they do business…companies that enrich their lives.
Positioning: “To Multicultural Millennial’s Nissan is the company that goes beyond expectations utilizing technology and innovation to enrich people’s lives, connect individuals, our communities and the way we move through the world. “
Big Idea: Innovation is more than a tagline – it is what we do.”
Innovation is a driver of how multicultural Millennnials think, what they do and how they choose to spend their money. Self-focused, confident that they can change the world, and eager to speak out they are the “I in Innovation, they choose to do business with companies that do more than make a profit.”
Creative Vision: • Central Edge creative focuses on giving our prospects a voice.• Our campaign strives to assist Nissan in building a dynamic, interac-
tive relationship with Multicultural Millennials. This relationship will initiate a dialogue in which Millennials can discuss their desires, their needs, and their world, and provide them with the opportunity to discover how truly innovative Nissan is.
Creative Executions:
15
Central Edge creative executions are from the point-of-view and in the voice of our prospects in personalized situations. Campaign executions are designed to be distinctive and stand out from other car advertis-ing. All executions are interactive and created to utilize distinctive and engaging technology
Central Edge research confirms that the majority of Multicultural Millen-nials are English language fluent and may or may-not read and write in their cultural language. However, our research also confirmed that spending some of our budget on Multicultural language specific ad placements made sense. First of all, parents are of significant influence in the decision to purchase a new car among the lower age range of our prospect base. Many of this groups parents are first generation American, utilize native language media and are most influenced by messages in their native language. Thus most advertising will be placed in English and in English language media, however we will utilize se-lected publications and broadcast media to specifically target Hispanic language and Chinese language speaking prospects and their influen-tial. Specialized media will include Hispanic language magazines and newspapers and magazines as well as Hispanic and Chinese lan-guage television and language specific out-of-home message place-ments.

• The challenge of public relations – building public relationships – demands that expenditure of PR efforts, time, and monies to be focused only on things that bring positive attention to the organization and brand, contribute to fulfilling the organization’s commitments, and help to build public awareness through positive publicity.
• Nissan already has an established three-prong commitment to corporate citizenship involvement through humanitarian aid, education and environmental improvement – all with an on-going link to the corporate mindset of Innovation.
• It is an essential mandate of Central Edge public relations programming that our campaign efforts maintain compatibility with that established focus.

ognize student participation efforts that bring enrichment to others’ lives.• On-campus publicity consisting of newspaper ads, posters and social media will urge eligible students to submit an online application consist-
ing of a 60-to-90 second video summarizing previous involvement and efforts toward localized projects that relate to Nissan’s priorities of human-itarian assistance, environmental or educational improvement.

• Central Edge focused campaign for Multicultural Millennials will utilize minimal network television focusing instead on spot, cable and local placements. In part this decision is based on reliance on existing Nissan sponsorships and participation in sports programming, the Olympics and Nissan’s ongoing Heismann sponsorship.
• We recommend purchase of outdoor boards, mass transit signs and shelters to reach our prospects when they most wish they had a car or a new car.
• A combination of subway posters, subway car wraps, billboards and bus advertisements will be used. • Simmons data indices among African American, Chinese and Hispanic millennials for use of public transportation
are high: • African-American index of 244 • Chinese American average of 151 .• To best target the demographic, all outdoor advertisements will be run in California, New York, Texas, and Florida
since these areas have the highest percent of the total target demographic living there.• Most placements seek the impact of a 25 showing.• Bus wraps will be designed to suggest oversized bright Nissan cars on the road.• Train Cars will be designed to replicate “an ideal environment to focus on Nissan’s commitment to the planet. Die-cut
flowerstrees, animals will be used as will musical forest and animal sounds.• Shelters, train and bus cards will be interactive and feature Aurasma code keys that allow travelers to use their smart
phones to activate commercials or Nissan car games while they travel
Placements will include 2-page spreads and full page, 4 color ads printed on recycled paper and bound into selected publications.• Selections are based on Simmons Choice 3 data which confirmed Multicultural Millennials read a wide variety of
magazines. o 12-month placements are planned the following titles: Game Pro, AutoWeek, Glamour, In Touch and Men’s Fitness.• 6 ads for the year will run in the remaining selections, rotating months in magazines of similar genres.

Video Games
ProductPlacement
Laundromats
We will insert Nissan signs, posters and ads featuring Nissan core campaign cars into video games using Microsoft’s Xbox Live platform.We will engage in 5 games with appeal to our demographic and geographic areas.Average cost-per-click is .15.Projected reach 50,000 a month.Projected cost 50,000. x .15 = 7,500 x 12 = $90,000. Per year placement + 20,000 production costs = TOTAL COST: $ 110,000
• Central Edge suggests that Nissan continue to take advantage of its established link with the Fast and Furious film franchise and publicizes Nissans role in films 7 in this series. Although the cars featured in the film are outside the spe-cific set included in this campaign because the core concept of the campaign is to sell brand Nissan linking to this visability makes marketing sense.
• During Nissan sponsored openings a Nissan Car Show will take place including cars that appear in the film. A draw-ing will be held to give away decal kits that allow car owners to make their cars “Look like” the movie cars.
• Television series product placement opportunities will be initiated including a commercial sponsorship of with a Nis-san car awarded to the winner of the competition. Central Edge recommends that Nissan participate as a gift and promotional sponsor with “The Voice” TV series. Rather than place ads we propose providing cars for the top ten final-ists and in-show mentions during the televisions shows regular season.
• Placement costs average $ 250. per exposure plus $500. Per mention plus cost of product gift. •16weeksseries2exposuresandmentionspershow:$750.00x16x2=$24,000.=45,000.=$69,000.00 •CostofCarGiveaways–10carsx$20,000.=$200,000.00
We will lease the rights to put washer and dryer wraps and signage in the ten largest laundries in the five cities with the largest concentration of Multicultural Millennials. Many of our prospects are apartment dwellers and frequent area laun-dries. When they are there they tend to look for something to do in response to that open aperture we will activate each poster and most wraps with Aurasma which will allow visitors to open interactive games, concerts or videos.
Movie-TheatreAdvertising
We will advertise in the top 10 Multicultural Millennial frequented movie theaters in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio.Ad units are contextually adjusted to fit game units.Advertising will run from May – August and during November and December of 2013.Ads will break with a “Fast and Furious” Car Show and prize sponsorship that will coincide with theater openings of Fast & Furious 6 on May 24, 2013. Special Opening Event will take place only at the largest theater in each city for the film opening. Movie ads will run throughout the summer and pre-holiday on 10 screens in 6 cities for a run of 180 spots per day for x 163 day total resulting in a total of 29,340 spots at an average cost of $ 26.13 per :30 spot

The PitchSo why choose a brand campaign? From the beginning the voices of Millennials have been telling us that some things matter more than others. At Central Edge, we listened.They told us what a company does is just as important as what a company makes. That traditional ad campaigns and slogans don’t register with them. They are changing the way business is done and the way products are bought. They believe they can and will change the world. This generation is looking for com-panies that understand those values and are willing to step up to the challenge of leading innovation.We used these insights to craft more than a campaign, but instead to begin building a bond that will last for generations with THE generation that is changing the world.
