    We invested in consumer research to understand what customers really want in a GPS device…and built an unmatched feature set based on what we heard

    What is a brand and why are brands important? A Brand Represents a Promise! It Is the Composite of What Current and Potential End Users Believe About our Product, Services or our Company.Performance PromiseEmotional AssociationProvides Reasons to TrustPerceived ValuePeople Are Willing to Pay Premiums for Products and Services That TheyBelieve Deliver Superior Benefits

    Utilize specific mix of vehicles to achieve targeted mass reach and frequency that is needed for significant impact during NAVIGON’s brand launchNational print (Mid Sep launch)10 high-reach national print titles, including business, entertainment, and lifestyle publicationsWall Street Journal, Time, Fast Company, Esquire, Wired, Condé Nast Traveler, Men’s Health, Playboy (Upscale edition), Best Life, People, People StyleWatchInteractive marketing (Oct 1st launch)Utilize search engines, ad networks, portals/news sites, shopping/e-commerce sites, and content sites (tech/gadget, biz travel, luxury lifestyle, male/misc lifestyle) Combine banner advertising, rich-media, and custom ad units, all driving to an experiential micrositeLocal radio traffic sponsorships (Oct 29th launch)Leverage Partnership with ClearChannel Radio:15 reads over eight weeks in eight U.S. marketsMarkets include New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, San Diego, and HoustonNational television (Nov 2nd launch)FX, MSNBC/CNBC, Comedy Central, ESPN, Discovery, TNT

    the essential element that makes the spot appealing is that Navigon chooses to talk straight about the GPS category. The tone of the spot is very straight forward. The personality of the brand is most evident in the language and plain speaking nature of the voice over

    Shows important features other GPS devices don’t like roadsGet from point A to point B without a Single F. In our opinion, the print executions for the American version of the Navigon campaign are simple, clean and elegant.Other GPS devices want to breed with it. Call work, tell them you are running a little earlyNAVIGON the only GPS device with Reality View and free Lifetime Trafficsimple elegance adds to the sophistication of the brand. Additionally, we feel that by focusing solely on the product we offer the viewer a strikingly different visual point of view than what the other GPS competitors are doing.the product is what it is all about. Even choosing to use the more dramatic angles as opposed to a straight on shot, create a sleeker looking ad that seems more upscale. The use of the dramatic shadowing also enhances the overall sophisticated look of the product. Positioning the product using these guidelines was not random. Finally, these ads assume that the most important part of the relationship with the customer is that they are getting a product that offers something no other product does—in this case Reality View.
