5. SITUATION ANALYSIS
Political and Legal Factors
IT’S THE LAW
Car insurance is regulated at the state level, with each state enforcing its own guidelines concerning the minimum
car insurance coverage that is required. All states have laws regarding the minimum amount of liability coverage
a driver must have in order to legally drive their vehicle, though it may be considered wise to carry additional
coverage.
Virginia residents, for example, are required by law to pay the state $500 annually if they choose not to carry
liability insurance on a particular vehicle. New Hampshire, on the other hand, is one of few states that does not
require motorists to carry liability insurance.
The penalties that await motorists who choose not to carry auto insurance vary. It’s not uncommon for such a
motorist to be subject to a hefty fine, license suspension, license expulsion or jail time. Usually, the minimum
required insurance plan, by law, is third party insurance to protect the victim of an accident against being financially
responsible for loss, damage or injury caused by a vehicle.

5.31 percent of the media budget was allocated to the top two radio stations in the DMAs with the
highest population of 18-25-year-olds. We chose to utilize radio advertisements to primarily announce
and promote our IMC events. Choosing a morning daypart targets independent young adults on early
commutes to work or school. An evening daypart increases exposure in other segments that may have
been missed by morning advertisements. From hip-hop to country, adult contemporary to Spanish-
language radio, our target will recognize State Farm’s Keep Goin’ Strong campaign as modern and fresh.
Through the radio executions, State Farm Insurance will create awareness of their brand and attract the
target to attend IMC events.

15.53 percent of the media budget was allocated to national magazines. Magazine insertions are an excellent way to target a national audience and because
of their circulation and extended shelf life. Throughout the year, these advertisements will complement other traditional placements in order to build State
Farm’s brand awareness and work to change the perception of young adults. While the majority of the target does not have yearly magazine subscriptions,
we chose to advertise during special interest months.
RATIONALE: College Newspaper 1,831,649.80
8.72 percent of the media budget was allocated for college newspapers. This category is most effective at reaching the college students who comprise
60 percent of our target. It is estimated that nearly 95 percent of college students read their school newspapers and that there is almost no other print
competitor on college campuses. We chose universities and colleges with the highest enrollment and attempted to reach at least one school in most states.
The placements will coincide with various IMC events happening on and around the respective campuses. In total, we chose to advertise in 50 college
newspapers with 20 full-page, four-color ads.
