creative brief

Project: VH1 network 20th Anniversary  Create a campaign for the entire VH1 network stating it is VH1’s 20th anniversary

Primary Target:  Adults 18-49  Married, dual-income  Watch television after work to relax  Keep up with pop culture- have a general idea to what’s going on in the music world  When discussing music, they feel more comfortable talking about artists from when they were younger  Feel they have “outgrown” MTV

About VH1:  Began 3 years after MTV with the intention of appealing to an older, upscale audience.  Likes to have a strong connection with the audience and produce shows which create a unique relation with viewers (i.e. I love the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s series).  Hosts philanthropic events around the country (i.e. Save The Music: A to Benefit the VH1 Save the Music Foundation).

Promotional Strategy:  VH1 and MTV attract two different audiences, as a result, VH1’s focus is not to convert MTV viewers.  Link the nostalgia of the anniversary with VH1’s strong audience connection. Make them feel that they have been a part of the past 20 years. A Book of Memories
