Creating Engagement: Depth Over Reach Omaid Hiwaizi and Dan White Admap January 2015 Creating engagement: Depth over reach Omaid Hiwaizi and Dan White Admap January 2015 Title: Creating engagement: Depth over reach Author(s): Omaid Hiwaizi and Dan White Source: Admap Issue: January 2015 Creating engagement: Depth over reach Omaid Hiwaizi and Dan White Geometry Global and Millward Brown Europe While both reach and depth approaches are likely to glean a return on investment, the nature of depth strategies will allow brands employing them to create greater and more sustainable impact by generating advocacy and driving repurchase. Since the early 1990s there have emerged a plethora of different brand-building media and touchpoints – ranging from personalised direct mail, experiential events, shopper marketing, digital media and platforms through to social media – which are now available at scale. While the marketing communications industry has traditionally concerned itself with the efficient delivery of optimised messages to target consumers, this growth of digital and the strategic maturity of below-the-line communications has torn up the rule book, creating an unprecedented opportunity to provide more immersive, participatory and even profound experiences for consumers, and empowering brands to have a much more significant role to play in people's lives. These media have a deeper effect on the audience through being more experiential – multisensory and immersive – resulting in deeper, more vivid memories, which result in more frequent recall. They're better conceived as branded experiences, whichever touchpoints are utilised, and as such should have an interesting story, which the audience can easily share. We do not study the specific psychological and physiological impacts of these media in more detail here. This is the subject for another article in its own right. Downloaded from warc.com 2 Red Bull: through events such as Red Bull Flugtag, it builds a depth of engagement with customers Crucially, because these media enable brands to connect directly with people and influence their behaviour, the success of strategies employing them is naturally quantified in a more direct, scientific and transparent way. Where once – dispossessed of a better alternative – planners appraised communications in terms of their reach, evaluation models are now available which gauge the depth of engagement and response a campaign has elicited among its primary audience (how much it mattered to them, how long it affected them and how exactly it influenced their propensity to buy) as well as the secondary audience which results from the word-of-mouth effect of deep engagement. In our view, the best example of a brand built through depth of engagement is Red Bull. Since its launch in 1987, Red Bull has focused on a distinctive depth-based marketing strategy to deliver its 'gives you wings' idea, with digital and social integrated into a series of interesting and inspiring events including Red Bull X-Fighters and Red Bull Air Race, where the world's top motocross riders and pilots respectively show off their tricks in front of tens of thousands of spectators, and which then reach an audience of tens of millions. They focus on authentic relationships with key athletes and with passionate fans – giving fans opportunities to take part through events such as the Red Bull Flugtag competitions, where fans can comically fly their home- made human-powered aeroplane creations. Red Bull has also directly engaged its audience in promotion and sampling through a multitude of initiatives – the Red Bull Wings Team sampling squads, the Student Brand Manager Programme – and generated content via the Red Bull Bedroom Jam (musicians) and Red Bull Reporter (young reporters at events). Indeed, Red Bull has shown that initiatives such as the Red Bull Wings Team have a measurable effect on brand launches and take-up. The pinnacle of Red Bull's depth approach was perhaps Red Bull Stratos. On 14 October 2012, Felix Baumgartner became the first person to break the sound barrier with a freefall jump from 128,000 feet above the Earth that reached a speed of 833.9 miles per hour. Some 8 million people watched live via YouTube and the video has been viewed over 10 million times subsequently. This represents around £100 million in worldwide media value and Red Bull Stratos will continue to be talked about and distributed socially for a very long time. This represents extraordinary global reach. Red Bull's different approach has been well documented, with Nancy F Koehn, professor of business administration at Downloaded from warc.com 3 Harvard Business School, commenting: "In terms of attracting new customers and enhancing consumer loyalty, Red Bull has a more effective branding campaign than Coke or Pepsi. Red Bull is building a beverage brand without relying on the essential equipment of a mass-marketing campaign. Perhaps the indispensable tools of marketing aren't so indispensable after all." (Brand New: How Entrepreneurs Earned Consumers' Trust from Wedgwood to Dell, Harvard Business School Press, 2001) Despite this, why then do agencies and clients continue to have challenges in embracing these new opportunities to find better ways to build brands? First, tipping the scales in favour of depth strategies will almost certainly serve as a catalyst for industry revolution. It sets a new framework for effectiveness for brands and agencies to value experience over reach. It brings a whole new set of priorities to the fore and with them an onus on the industry to behave differently. How should we, therefore, value these lower-reach immersive experiences versus higher-reach shallow experiences such as TV viewing or reading the press? While the cost per contact is likely to be orders of magnitude more, and the reach orders of magnitude less, the effect on the recipient will be stronger and longer lasting. Understanding reach is simple and the typical KPIs well established, focusing on cost-per-contact. Depth of experience is more complicated, measured by the enduring impact it can have on the recipient, specifically placing a brand as part of a human relationship and shaping how they relate to the world around them. These mental patterns create opportunities for recall and advocacy, that have a significant role in driving frequency of purchase and penetration of a brand, which is ultimately more valuable. Our intention is to provide the tools to provoke a more intelligent, grounded and practical conversation about the true success of multidiscipline communications. To effect this, a fair comparison must be made between these very different kinds of brand activity, and a number of considerations and variables assessed. A common currency is needed to compare brand-building effects, one that can be applied fairly to any type of brand encounter and has been proven to relate to actual purchasing behaviour. The ideal currency should work for brand encounters that have a large and long-lasting impact on behaviour as well as those having a weak, transient effect. For this reason, brand predisposition measures that have been proven to relate to individuals' subsequent purchasing behaviour have been used in the calculations in this paper. We have chosen Millward Brown's Brand Power score – a generalised measure of consumers' predisposition to choose one brand over another. Crucially, this doesn't simply measure sentiment or attitude but also propensity to buy; indeed, there is almost a one-to-one relationship between changes in Brand Power and changes in Volume Share. For example, word of mouth creates three times more impact with each person it reaches than does TV advertising, but TV typically reaches three times as many people (Figure 1). The final dimension is the effect of marketing activity on a secondary audience via advocacy. We need to quantify effect on people who encounter the message initially and also the effect on other people who hear about the brand or its content through advocacy and sharing. Downloaded from warc.com 4 Estimating the prevalence of advocacy is complex. Certain categories naturally enjoy far higher levels of conversation than others. Millward Brown's Social Pulse metric demonstrates this – putting electronics and automotive far ahead of categories such as FMCG and personal care, which reflects the due diligence people apply for predominantly rational purchases. Sharing of branded content, however, does not follow this category pattern. The 10 most viewed brand videos on YouTube in 2013 included personal care (Dove), soft drinks (Pepsi), retail (Kmart), insurance (GEICO) and household products (Poo Pourri). What unifies these is the power of their creative ideas, which clearly can transcend traditionally staid and passive category norms to create depth experiences. Millward Brown recently analysed the characteristics of brand videos that achieve this. Common traits of viral successes include being: highly original and distinctive; very enjoyable to watch, highly involving; loaded with social currency (i.e. people want to be the person who shares it with others); and well branded (hence easier to describe). For example, in 2013 Unilever's Dove campaign 'Real Beauty Sketches' was one of the viral success stories of the year, attracting over 62 million views to date with its emotionally powerful message which felt true to the brand. According to Millward Brown's CrossMedia database, online video has an incredibly strong brand impact per encounter, but relatively low reach. Dove's campaign proves that truly creative and contagious depth strategies have the potential to create extraordinary reach. We have developed an approach to assimilate the primary and secondary marketing effect of a brand activity, understanding the reach of each and their impact per channel: Effect of activity = (Reach of activity × impact per encounter) + (Reach of advocacy generated × impact per encounter). For an established mainstream consumer brand then, with a target audience of 10 million, how do the two strategies compare using the Brand Impact metric when considering similar spend and creative input? Using Millward Brown's benchmarks, the Downloaded from warc.com 5 differences are surprising.

  • Energy Drinks and Their Availability to Children and Youth
    ENERGY DRINKS AND THEIR AVAILABILITY TO CHILDREN AND YOUTH SUBMISSION TO THE STANDING COMMITTEE SOCIAL AFFAIRS, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY BILL S-228 James Shepherd June 5, 2107 Contact: [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION Red Bull was the original energy drink which was introduced in Austria, in 1987. Red Bull was introduced to the United States in 1997 and to Canada in 2004. Since then, hundreds of brands of energy drinks and concentrated energy shots have flooded the marketplace worldwide. They are one of the fastest growing segments of the beverage market. Energy drink ingredients include caffeine, taurine, vitamins and in most cases sugar. The caffeine concentration permitted in energy drinks in Canada is 200-400 mg/litre which on the store shelf amounts to 80mg in a small can, up to a maximum of 180mg in larger container sizes. Energy drinks are often confused with other beverages, including sports drinks. While sports drinks such as Gatorade are formulated to hydrate the body, and do not contain caffeine or other stimulants, energy drinks can lead to dehydration. There are a number of caffeinated cross-over products on store shelves, which add to the confusion between the products. MY SON’S TRAGIC STORY On January 6, 2008, my 15-year-old son Brian was competing in a day-long paintball tournament. Around noon, Red Bull representatives came into the venue, where many individuals under the age of 18 were engaged in sport. They handed out free samples of energy drinks and according to police; Brian was witnessed drinking one of these samples.

    COME UP AND GET ME: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF COLONEL JOE KITTINGER PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Joe W. Kittinger,Craig Ryan,Neil Armstrong | 272 pages | 16 Apr 2011 | University of New Mexico Press | 9780826348043 | English | Albuquerque, NM, United States Joseph Kittinger - Wikipedia If you're in a car driving down the road and you close your eyes, you have no idea what your speed is. It's the same thing if you're free falling from space. There are no signposts. You know you are going very fast, but you don't feel it. You don't have a mph wind blowing on you. I could only hear myself breathing in the helmet. Kittinger set historical numbers for highest balloon ascent, highest parachute jump, longest-duration drogue-fall four minutes , and fastest speed by a human being through the atmosphere. His records for highest parachute jump and fastest velocity stood for 52 years, until they were broken in by Felix Baumgartner. Kittinger appeared as himself on the January 7, episode of the game show To Tell the Truth. He received two votes. He and the astronomer William C. In , after returning to the operational air force, Kittinger was approached by civilian amateur parachutist Nick Piantanida for assistance on Piantanida's Strato Jump project, an effort to break the previous freefall records of both Kittinger and Soviet Air Force officer Yevgeni Andreyev. Kittinger refused to participate in the effort, believing Piantanida's approach to the project was too reckless. Kittinger later served three combat tours of duty during the Vietnam War , flying a total of combat missions.

  • Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics Project
    Chemical Engineering Fluid Mechanics Project Marc Thomson Kianna Nguyen Jessica Tobey Logan Shapiro Introduction On October 14, 2012, Felix Baumgartner became the first human being to break the sound barrier with his body. He jumped from a height of 38,969 meters at the edge of the atmosphere and reached a maximum speed of 833.9 miles per hour (372.8 m/s). His fall lasted 9 minutes and 3 seconds, setting a world record for the longest duration of a jump ever recorded (“Red Bull Stratos Summary Report”). This project will explore how Baumgartner was able to break the sound barrier and how his velocity and drag force varied with distance and time. The model presented in this project simulates the jump and allows us to estimate the duration of flight, the time in which Baumgartner pulled the parachute, and the time in which he broke the sound barrier. The conclusion of this project is that Baumgartner was able to break the sound barrier due to the variation of the speed of sound depending on temperature, and the small amount of drag force he experienced due to the thinner atmosphere close to where he began his jump. Our Model The following variables will be used to describe different properties of our model. 퐹푑 : Drag Force g(y) : Gravitational Acceleration 휌(푦): Density According to the International Atmosphere Model (built into MatLab) G : Universal Gravitational Constant 퐶푑: Drag Coefficent y : Elevation (or Altitude) A : Cross-Sectional Area 푑푦 푅푒 : Radius of the Earth and y’(t): Velocity 푑푡 푚푒 : Mass of the Earth 푑2푦 : Acceleration 푑푡2 w: Weight m : Mass of Baumgartner In order to find Baumgartner’s speed as a function of time, we begin with Newton’s second law in which net force is equal to mass times acceleration.

  • Press Release
    OT VINTA “OT VINTA” are inventors and founders of the original music style "Ukrabilly". Even hardened snobs and downers break into dance whenever they hear their hits: "I Shouldn’t Have Eaten Onions", "Rock and Roll for Turtles", "Grandma’s Cabinet", "Dryg-tyn- dymba", "Mare" and ""Ukraine" Between My Legs”. "OT VINTA” - Ukrainian band that has faithful fans all over the world, from Japan to Holland. The secret of their success is simple: one-of-a-kind style "Ukrabilly", drive, humor and positive energy. This special mix does not leave anyone indifferent! It all began in 1994 when Yuri Zhuravel realized his dream - assembled a band. Three young guys from city of Rivne with pompadours and double-bass decided to sing in Ukrainian, breaking rules and canons of traditional rockabilly. This made them stand out amongst other bands. Though at first this decision brought many problems, soon the band’s unique approach helped to overcome existing stereotypes. Their music did not fit into the classical rockabilly framework, so they’ve invented “Ukrabilly”, which used Ukrainian folk music instead of American country music as an inspiration. Moreover, their appearance, behavior on stage, costumes and exclusive electro-goat-bass (based on Ukrainian folk instrument) added originality and it became impossible to confuse them with someone else. Since the late 90s “OT VINTA” are touring nonstop. In recent years “OT VINTA” perform a lot in Europe - Ukrabilly is played at "Lowlands" (Netherlands) “Hodokvas” (Slovakia), “Zwarte Cross Fest” (Holland), “Visagino Country” (Lithuania), “Campus Fest” (Germany) and “Hinter-Tux Fest” (Austria). They are well known in Poland since the early 2000s because of their appearances at “Lemko’s Vatra”, “Podlasie Autumn”, “Psychobilly night”, “Breakout” and other major festivals.

  • Promotion – Red Bull Dietrich Mateschitz Founded Red Bull in 198 and Launched the Red Bull Energy Drink 1987
    Promotion – Red Bull Dietrich Mateschitz founded Red Bull in 198 and launched the Red Bull Energy Drink 1987. Red Bull uses a progressive marketing strategy. There are several traditional approaches to promotion. Perhaps the best known is advertising. This is a key element of what is known as above-the-line promotion. This type of promotion usually delivers messages to a wide audience using the press, television, radio and the internet. Although this makes it easy to reach a large audience, it is more difficult to deliver a memorable message that is tailored to a specific target market. It can be costly: for example, television adverts at prime time are very expensive. In addition, businesses cannot completely control who sees or hears their adverts or how they respond. Red Bull’s above- the-line promotion primarily helps to increase top of mind brand awareness amongst consumers. Below-the-line promotions encompass all other forms of promotional activity. To reach targeted groups of consumers, Red Bull focuses heavily on developing inventive below-the-line promotions. Unlike other businesses, Red Bull creates and organises its own events around the world. These events provide a platform for talented athletes to showcase their skills and ambition. Sporting events include Red Bull X-Fighters and Red Bull Air Race, where the world’s top FMX riders and pilots respectively perform world class flips, turns and tricks in front of tens of thousands of spectators. These events help to establish the brand values. They also begin the AIDA process, creating awareness and interest in Red Bull products.
