Task: Build Interest and Sign Ups to their new Maintenance Section of their Website and grow Facebook activity.

We used standard banner ads, facebook ads, bloggers and print ads to bring awareness to the facebook page.
Results: Increased facebook likes by over 7 times, grew registration on the maintenance page to nearly 6000 registrants.

Creative Brief
Why does our client need to advertise?
Our client needs to advertise in order to grow awareness of product benefits
and to separate Monster Energy from their competitors.
What is the advertising going to accomplish?
The advertising goals will increase awareness of the brand, the variety of flavors and
the energy benefits of consuming Monster Energy Drink
Who are we going to connect with?
Males and females, age 18-45.
What are the most insightful things we know about them?
The consumers are always on the go, working harder and longer than ever before. They are
always looking for that edge over their competition. They do not like coffee.
What is the single most effective message we can tell them?
Monster Energy Drink can supply you with an unsurpassed burst of energy.
What else is there to know that supports this message?

Creative Brief
Why does our client need to advertise?
The client seeks to increase attendance and the engagement of visitors. The clients goal is to boost participation on all levels,
including having more visitors dressing up and participating in the Ren-Faire activities as ‘players.’
What is the advertising going to accomplish?
The advertising will communicate a sense of obsession and youth that is both funny and infectious.
Visitors are encouraged to feel free to be a kid again. They are free to explore their heritage in all its glory.
Who are we going to connect with?
The advertising is going to connect with males and females ages 25-55.
What are the most insightful things we know about them?
Audience members enjoy Massive Multiple Online Role Playing Games. They like MMORPG’s even more for intense stories and
world immersion as much as the graphics. They love Ren-Faire even more because they can become a part of it, not just play it.
What is the single most effective message we can tell them?
Don’t just go to Ren-Faire – live it!
What else is there to know that supports this message?
As the client succeeds in attracting larger numbers of men and women, it is still an event for family time, a connection to history
by experiencing a different time, and an opportunity to engage more actively in the festival itself.

Creative Brief
Why does our client need to advertise?
The client seeks to establish an enduring and meaningful, emotional and
social connection with its current consumers as well as new ones.
What is the advertising going to accomplish?
Using the popular cultural interest in zombies, and current frustration with government, the brand seeks to
connect with consumers in a light-hearted way, letting the consumer know and feel that
Mr. Clean wants to make your world a cleaner place.
Who are we going to connect with?
Males and females age 25-45 with families that demand the cleanest environment to live and raise children.
What are the most insightful things we know about them?
Consumers already like the brand name, want to trust it, but are also attracted to the lower prices of discount
competitors. The client seeks to establish a memorable emotional connection so they will choose Mr. Clean
over other brands. If a reputable brand makes them feel good, proud and safe, they will choose it -
even if it is higher priced than competitors.
What is the single most effective message we can tell them?
- Mr. Clean is cleaning up the world wipe by wipe.
What else is there to know that supports this message?
Mr. Clean takes care of life’s spills, dirt, and stains starting with a single wipe.
The product is known for wiping away grease, grit, and grime as well as the “impossible” stain.
