Ambush marketing is the unauthorized association of a business with a sponsored event to gain marketing benefits without paying licensing fees. It takes indirect forms like advertising around the event or sponsoring related categories. While it creates brand exposure, it also subverts the integrity of events and confuses consumers. Regulators have tried to restrict ambush marketing through rules during events like the Beijing Olympics, but ambushers still find creative ways to promote their brands through subtle associations. There is an ongoing debate around the ethics of ambush marketing versus its role in competitive business.
Ambush marketing refers to when a company promotes itself in a way that creates an unauthorized association with a major event like the Olympics without paying sponsorship fees. It undermines official sponsors and deprives them of commercial value. While it allows companies to benefit from event promotion without high sponsorship costs, it decreases the commercial value of events and creates an unhealthy competitive environment. Laws have been passed in some countries to restrict ambush marketing tactics around major events.

Good Bites...on brand and fundraising 21_10_2011: Dan Dufour and Debbie Clark...GOOD Agency

How would you improve A&F?
Additional Research From Online:
According to the Corporation for National and Community Service, in the last 15
years the volunteerism rate among 16 to 19 year olds has actually doubled and
there is an increase in the importance of philanthropic activities in American
schools to create more well-rounded students.- NationalService.Org

TODAY we are going to talk about
Start off with Helen
Helen
We surveyed 256 18-22 years and asked, “When was the last time you shopped at Abercrombie and Fitch?” The results were overwhelming with over 45% saying the last time they had bought something from Abercrombie and Fitch was between the ages of 10-14.
The problem is that 18-22 year olds haven’t been to Abercrombie in a while and still have old perceptions of the store from 5-10 years ago. They don’t know that Abercrombie has updated and changed their style significantly. There are a lot of new designs and product lines which have come out in the time that people have stayed out of Abercrombie stores. As such, they are unaware of what is happening.
That is why we believe that if we can figure out a way to get 18-22 year olds back into stores to see these changes we will be able to capture this target market.
AGENDA: HERE are the things we want to address in our presentation:
Today we are going to talk about how to get people back
technologically savvy but prefer in-store shopping
Often times, they look online for deals and ideas for clothes which lead them to the stores to shop
Need to increase online presence to grab initial attention (put special recognition towards new designs)
Value diversity and individuality/unique personal expression which is often changing, so they show low brand loyalty in the long run
Most do not look for the large logos on their clothes
Always looking for the newest, trendy styles
With so much social noise clamoring for their attention, and dollars, brands no longer have the luxury of time
Philanthropy and morally conscience/ want to help others
Helen
We think this is a great aspect of your company but most people don’t know about it. Since we think this would really ring true with your target market we focused our campaign on expanding the awareness of it.
-include tab on shopping website with philanthropy info
We think the 5K that you currently run is the perfect way to bring together the FIERCE product and your philanthropic involvement.
(talk about money raised in past)
Abercrombie’s current 5K
Ohio State, how much money it raises
5K background (what we plan to do)
“Be Fierce”
our plan to expand 5K to other cities (New York, LA, places with flagship stores) and break down of cost
explain how going on college campuses will be a cheaper option and bring in more 18-22 year olds
“At the 5K”
We would like this 5K philanthropic event to be known as the “Be Fierce” campaign. With the idea of fierce comes thoughts about a wild, energetic side filled with excitement and fitness. Consequently, it connects perfectly with the idea of a 5K. Moreover, the cologne could then be marketed as either covering up the smells of working out or just directly related to training and fitness. It will instill in the minds of consumers that Fierce leads to and symbolizes a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.

Because many people have not been in the stores for quite some time, they are unaware of the new designs and product lines that are available. For example, many younger Americans go to stores like Lululemon to buy their active ware; however, Abercrombie has many of the same stylish outfits for working out in. As such, the company needs to market these lines more actively to draw in more attention. One way of doing this is to have workers wear them at the 5K along with potentially selling them at the race city. This way, they will be out in the open for all to see and take note of which could eventually spread the word around.
To solve this problem, We have designed a sample banner add for A&F cares on the homepage of the website so that people browsing the website can learn more about A&F

-opportunity bottle package: at first thought it would be interesting to put a runner/athletic image on the back to tie in with the 5K, but then, we found out from Hannah that we hope that FIERCE can compete with classy, high-end colognes, similar to bottles that might be sold at a store like Sephora. So we decided to look at some of those bottles as we considered packaging.
Models wear athletic clothesregister donate? Or just tell about 5k- tell about prizes especially
-Hannah mentioned in her response to our question that A&F would consider selling products side by side with high class brands like Sephora products. We noticed that the packaging of competitors products looks a lot different.
- What do all of these have in common? They all are very simple, high-class looking designs which appeal to the eye. Nothing can distract a customer from the product, and it specifically states the company and the brand name which is confusing on some Abercrombie bottles.

Our survery supports Sephora thing
Include comments in appendix???Based on these observations, we think it would be a good idea to consider a new packaging that more closely resembles your Cologne41 or Golden Cologne
