The intention of this integrated marketing communications campaign is to position @TheBuzzer as a feeder for passion points among its target
audiences. @TheBuzzer is a branch of FOX Sports, focusing on the more lighthearted entertainment aspect of the sports arena. However, through
research conducted, it appears that this entity has low brand recognition and support.
Three insights from our research led us to believe that @TheBuzzer serves as the perfect conversation starter for the millennial audience:
	 1. According to our initial survey, the number one type of content preferred by the millennial audience are short, 				
		 funny videos which are synonymous with the content @TheBuzzer produces.
	 2. Additionally, the initial survey indicated that the majority of millennials consume sports information for an hour or less per day, tying 	
		 into the need for a platform that produces quick, entertaining information.
	 3. The consumer research found that the millennial generation enjoys sharing information or “passion points” 				
		 that they are able to identify with.
This campaign is designed to appeal to two audiences, the Laid-Back Sports Follower and the Eclectic Trendsetter, through raising
awareness of @TheBuzzer, driving recognition of @TheBuzzer as a conversation starter and increasing the number of users who return to the
site. This plan is focused not only on building brand recognition and awareness, but also on developing content that is conversational and
feeds into the audience’s passion.
To accurately appeal to two distinctly different audiences, the campaign’s strategies and tactics are divided into content creation, advertising,
public relations, and digital strategies. The advertising and promotional tactics will play into brand transparency, allowing audience members
to interact with @TheBuzzer on a more personal level. Additionally, the content creation and digital work is imperative to the success of this
campaign because it is the driving force that will keep the audience interested in the site’s premise and increase the return rate.
CAMPAIGN DURATION: August 1, 2015 - July 31, 2016
BUDGET: $380,000
TARGET: Males and Females, 18-24

Dear Mr. Ching,
For those of you who are sports fans, but whose eyes glaze over when they hear the dry stats and standings, @TheBuzzer is
answer. This innovative, video-based site provides the snackable sports gossip that fans will not hear anywhere else. Because
@TheBuzzer is the only outlet of its kind, it has the opportunity to reach the laid-back sports fans and eclectic trendsetters.
@TheBuzzer feeds viewers’ passion points to spark conversations about the casual sports gossip that provides the inside scoop.
Our research has found that millennials enjoy concise, funny videos that are more than just click bait. This is exactly what
@TheBuzzer provides and with the right promotional tactics, can expand its audience.
With our campaign, this agency is going to achieve an increase in recognition, sharing and return rate by reaching the audience
across multiple platforms. The goal is to show that @TheBuzzer owns the laid-back, lighthearted look at sports entertainment by
putting an emphasis on short, quippy video content, and straying away from the norms of your typical sports news outlets.
Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Bentley
Elizabeth Saracini

@TheBuzzer lacks brand recognition and loyalty that affects its
prominence within the sports entertainment community. Although it is a
subsidiary of FOX Sports, there is a deficiency of awareness for the site
within the sports entertainment community due to a lack of compelling
content and a user friendly interface. @TheBuzzer currently produces
videos that inform the viewer about the pop culture side of the sports
arena. Additionally, @TheBuzzer does not host its own domain, making
it easy for its viewers to unintentionally navigate off the site. An
integrated marketing communications campaign will help @TheBuzzer
increase awareness of its brand and develop brand loyalty.
To sufficiently learn about @TheBuzzer’s target audiences, we completed both primary and secondary research. Our
primary research consisted of conducting a survey targeted at a millennial audience that asked questions about
media habits, sports inclinations, and more specifically, @TheBuzzer. Additionally, the primary research included focus
groups and observational research to understand the millennials interaction with @TheBuzzer and learn what they
are looking for in a sports entertainment site. Along with primary research, secondary research was conducted to
understand the atmosphere @TheBuzzer is competing in. The research conducted spanned the consumer arena, brand
analysis, FOX Sports competitors, and a company analysis.
The research conducted led to three key insights that guided our campaign.
1. “I enjoy funny sports videos”
In our survey, this was the number one response to a question about content preference.
Millennials enjoy lighthearted, witty entertainment that they can share with their friends.
2. “Passion Points”
From our secondary research, it was found that the millennial audience enjoys sharing stories that they
relate with on a personal, philanthropic and humorous basis. It is important for content to appeal to the
audience’s emotions if it wants to be something that is shared and liked by a wide reach.
3. “The majority of sports media consumption is less than one hour (47%)
or one to two hours (27%).”
With the millennial audience responding that a very minimal amount of the media they consume daily is
sports, it is important to make content quick and to the point. Millennials will not wait around for long
articles and videos or trouble themselves with content that they deem uninteresting or unrelatable.

to music via his premium account with Spotify and Soundcloud. He actively seeks out new music by following his friends and favorite
artists on social media and Spotify.
He has a strong fear of missing out, and always wants to be in on the joke. He enjoys pop culture and commits to being up to date via
social media. Blake enjoys winding down with his friends at the bar a few nights each week, often watching sports games and playing
pool. Blake favors craft beers with his meals but is budget conscious and will look for deals on lower quality beer pitchers to split with
friends. He follows his home team, the Seahawks, on Twitter and Facebook and wears college and professional sports team clothing
occasionally.

C O N C L U S I O N
The research conducted highlights the fact that for
@TheBuzzer to be successful among the millennial
audience, it needs to create content that is witty and
conversational, touching on the millennials passion
points. The content shown needs to grab the audience’s
attention quickly, get to the point of the entertainment
and be sharable, making the viewer an expert on sports
entertainment.
BIG IDEA 87 BIG IDEA
@TheBuzzer provides fans unique information on their
sports passion points; things that millennials are
most likely to care about, share content about, and
see as part of their identity. A funny story about the
quarterback on their favorite team feeds more directly
into their sports passion points than say statistics
or game run downs of how their team performed
because the personal quality of the athlete is there.
The millennial can say they “know” the athlete
because @TheBuzzer gave them an inside look into
their life apart from stats and records.

@TheBuzzer owns the laid-back, lighthearted look at sports entertainment by putting an emphasis on short, quippy
video content, and straying away from the norms of your typical sports news outlets. @TheBuzzer will position itself
as the source for millennials’ passion points in the sports arena.
We will raise awareness among Laid-Back Sports Followers and Eclectic Trendsetters by going to where they already
are (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Mobile Apps, etc.), and we will keep them coming back to the site by streamlining
the experience across all platforms and focusing the content on fun, lighthearted, gossipy
sports entertainment stories. Sharing will be irresistible by capitalizing on their need
to be the source for what’s currently trending in all areas for their group of
influence.
Content will be more focused on feel good stories, trending topics, and
behind the scenes of popular teams and players. Today’s millennials
want to feel a connection with not only brands, but public figures
they are invested in as their passion points. By catering to their
particular passion points, @TheBuzzer can ensure audiences keep
coming back for more.
Public Relations will be used to also create that more personal
feel between the brand and its audience. Advertising will be used
to primarily drive users to @TheBuzzer content, whether it be on
an app, their website, or social media. Finally, digital upgrades to
the @TheBuzzer website, and the creation of an app, will cater to
the audiences’ “on-the-go” nature and sensitivity to aesthetics and
ease of use when browsing online.

M E D I A S T R A T E G Y
To supplement our campaign we will develop content that spans their existing social media and site platforms. This
content will generate interest and awareness across the target audience as well as provide shareable information. Stories
will focus on news and stories that speak to millenials’ “passion points,” so they will be more likely to share this content
with their circle of influence.
	
The overall goal of advertising campaigns to reach target audience across multiple platforms to increase awareness and
overall perception. By utilizing social media we will relay the brand attitude and generate attention. Broadcast advertising
will be used to reach FOX Sports previously established fan base. Digital music outlets will target unsuspecting audience
members who aren’t directly seeking sports gossip/information.
Television: Utilizing FOX Sports and parent company
Transit: Grabbing the attention of consumers while they are a captive audience
Digital Music Outlets: Sponsored playlist and ads
The overall goal of the public relations media strategy is to use various events to interact with the audience and drive
awareness of the @TheBuzzer brand. Social media will be used to promote happenings within the company and to directly
interact with members of the audience. Event sponsorships will promote a positive perception of the brand within local
communities.
Event Sponsorship: To drive awareness of @TheBuzzer through supporting community events.
To help increase awareness, identity and availability, The Chiliad Agency has redesigned @TheBuzzer’s website into a
more user-friendly format that allows seamless use while still giving consumers what they need. The new @TheBuzzer
interface provides a less cluttered, easy to use site that will give our target audiences exactly what they are looking for
while touching on their passion points. Another new implementation will be the addition of an @TheBuzzer app. With the
app, users will be able to access the site’s videos on the go. The format will be user-friendly and be similar to the new
site design. This will ensure that consumers always have constant access to @TheBuzzer’s content.

Our Laid Back Sports Followers and Eclectic Trendsetters are
passionate about the music that they listen to. They are constantly
on the go and want to be able to quickly access their music. Spotify’s
personalization features make this possible, and therefore had become
very popular among our target audience. Of Spotify’s 60 million active
users, 40% of them are in the 18-24 age bracket. According to Spotify’s
data, “compared to the general population, Spotify users are 26% more
likely to be a student, 20% more likely to be a college student and 3.75x
more likely to be a graduate student.” This gives @TheBuzzer a great
opportunity to get straight into the headphones of our target audience.
To combine our audience’s passions of music and sports,
we propose creating branded playlists of professional
athletes’ favorite music. This would give fans the
opportunity to get to experience new music in the
Spotify library, as well as feel a different connection to
their favorite athletes through music. Branded Playlists
require a minimum of 40 songs from different artists, so
if the athlete doesn’t give you that large of a library, we
recommend using music of a similar style to finish out
the playlist. Branded Playlists allow for links to other
websites. This space should be used to write a short summary of
@TheBuzzer and links to @TheBuzzer’s other sites.

Fox-y Lady will be rebranded to feature professional, successful and philanthropic female athletes. This will attract the female
audience @TheBuzzer has not been able to reach before. In addition, re-tooling this segment clears up confusion and misleading
articles on @TheBuzzer’s site. Throughout these interviews, anchors will have the opportunity to sit down with each athlete,
giving users a chance get to know them on a more personal level. The Fox-y Lady would also focus on athletes who participate in
charities in order to dig deeper into the target audience’s passion points. This segment should be scheduled to be published bi-
weekly. The Fox-y Lady will be chosen based on nominations made by @TheBuzzer users.
Lolo Jones:
Summer and Winter
Olympic Athlete
Example Fox-y Lady:
Bio: Lolo was named Lori after her mother, but said she started going by “Lolo” in order to differentiate the two on the telephone. From the time she was
a child, Lolo wanted to achieve her dream of being a famous track star. When her family decided to move to Forest City, Iowa, however, it seemed like this
possibility was going to be out of reach. Jones told her mother, “Mom, I can’t go to a city that doesn’t have a track.” This didn’t end up stopping her though.
Lolo went on to become one of the most popular athletes and competed in the 2012 Olympics.
Other possible Fox-y Ladies:
Danica Patrick, Lindsey Vonn, Caroline Wozniacki, Skylar Diggins, Venus and Serena Williams, Hope Solo

15 CONTENT
Some of @TheBuzzer’s most unique video content is when it finds the special
stories about fans who have an over the top passion for their team. Seeing
others who are over zealous about their team, gets others into the game.
This makes it more likely for fans to share this content. With the Fan Focus
segment, in coordination with the Fan Experience tent, @TheBuzzer can post
on social media that they are coming to a certain sporting event. They will also
use social media to find and invite whoever is the “most passionate fan”. At
this event, they need to prove to @TheBuzzer that they deserve to be a part of
that week’s Fan Focus. Once chosen, they will be interviewed about their story
as a fan and how they became passionate about the team.

Every month @TheBuzzer will sponsor a behind the scenes segment called “Behind the Jersey”. Each segment will feature
clips of the players and their daily routine. The clips will give an inside scoop on athletes and teams that reach our
audience through the organic lens of what happens off the field. These shots will show the locker room, practice field,
philanthropic events, talks with coaches, etc. The audience will be drawn in because they are passionate about their
favorite players and want to be apart of their everyday lives. Seeing their favorite teams off the field, in an unscripted
environment, will shine a different light on them. This piece will be launched monthly, with a new segment coming out
every third week of the month.

@TheBuzzer will produce a seasonal human interest series called “Real Athletes, Real Stories”. @TheBuzzer will provide viewers
with an inside look at an athletes inspirational journey; feeding the viewer’s passion by bringing new life and meaning to the heart
of the game as well as the heart of an athlete. This segment will further exemplify how it is not necessary to have a contract or
be a celebrity icon in order to be considered a “real athlete,” but can happen by simply embracing one’s love of game. @TheBuzzer
will select each athlete via public nominations and relevant news stories. Viewers will have the opportunity to nominate athletes
for each seasonal segment series which gives the audience a sense of control in the content creation. The video will contain 10-
15 minutes of unscripted content regarding the following: who is the athlete, why are they inspirational, how has their passion
impacted others around them, etc. This tactic puts an emphasis on the passion our target audience has in regards to a feel good
story and inspirational people. This will be a seasonal series, with one week full of 10-15 minute videos during each season.

Buzzer Monday is a short segment ranging from 60 to 90 seconds long. It will be a fresh broadcast once a week throughout the
campaign period. The segment is a competition between two anchors (Andy Nesbitt and Kristin Balboni) to provide the most interesting
video clip, and back it up with a short argument. A celebrity judge will decide who makes the most persuasive argument. The celebrity
will depend on what Fox Sports has going on that week. If an MMA match is being covered, then our judge will be an MMA fighter they
have brought in for their own broadcast. The Fox-y Lady of the week can also be invited to be the celebrity judge.
Each anchor’s clip will present their favorite sports video that is trending that week. Possible topics covered include exciting or
horrible plays, interview moments, charity events, referee or fan moments, etc. Once both videos are shown, each anchor will have until
the sound of the buzzer to discuss why their clip should be chosen as the best clip of the week. The judge will award points based on
quality, humor or relevance. This will help the anchors choose trending topics to compete with one another on the show.The judge will
be actively awarding points and commenting on what anchors are presenting during each anchor’s argument.
The hashtag #BuzzerMonday will be used on Twitter for fans to tweet who they thought had the better clip and argument/discussion.
Followers and users of the site/app will receive a Buzzer notification to their phone, tablet, or computer alerting them that a new video
has been uploaded each Monday.

According to our research, young professionals are drawn to large cities to begin
their careers. Due to the size of these cities, public transportation is the most
effective way to get around. Additionally, many colleges in large cities distribute
transit passes to their students as a way to navigate the city. Strategic transit
advertising will reach our target audience effectively and in a creative way. The
advertisements will feature professional athletes who are popular in a specific
city (i.e. in New York, a Mets player will be shown). In addition, the logo and
text about feeding fans’ passion for sports will be printed next to the athletes.
By featuring popular athletes and having a simple slogan, we are giving them a
quick look at what @TheBuzzer offers. Transit adveritsing will include outside
wraps and inside subway car ads.
Suggested Company Partnership:
Outfront Media is the leader in out-of-home advertising. This company is able
to provide everything @TheBuzzer will need in order to launch a successful and
crisp looking transit advertising campaign across many large cities. Due to their
success, exclusive transit contracts with major cities and ability to engage with
both mass and targeted audiences throughout the day, we believe Outfront
Media is the most promising provider.

@TheBuzzer will buy 15 second advertising spaces on Fox Sports. These spots will open with an in-house shot of the
anchors, followed by a three second emphasis on @TheBuzzer’s logo, followed by previous broadcast footage, and
finalized with an enticement related to the near-future featured athlete or story on @TheBuzzer. In the storyboard
provided, Andy Nesbitt and Kristen Balboni are featured as the anchors, LeBron James as the previous interview
footage from @TheBuzzer and Clint Dempsey as a potential teaser to finish out the spot. A voice overlay will briefly
describe what the audience will gain from visiting @TheBuzzer during the logo emphasis.
Four different sports will be focused on, with each sport having its own set of ads. @TheBuzzer ads featuring NFL
coverage will run August 2015 through November 2015. This insures coverage of both the preseason and regular
season.
During UFC, each month of the year has between three and six fights. Because there are at least three fights,
@TheBuzzer will have the opportunity to feature a few different fighters in the advertisements. These ads will be run
throughout the campaign. Its frequency will be based on the event schedule of the other three sports.
NASCAR ads will run February 2015 through June 2015. This ensures complete coverage from the Sprint Cup Series to
the Chase for the Sprint Cup. In between those two major events are smaller races that will also be featured.
Soccer themed ads will begin two weeks before the beginning of the season. Due to the amount of coverage the MLS
Superdraft brings in, it is worth extending soccer themed @TheBuzzer ads into February.
February and November are months where three sports are covered at the same time. Because of this, the
@TheBuzzer advertisements will have a lot of variety. During the other months, there will be a minimum of two
different sport-themed @TheBuzzer ads running.
3-5 seconds
Clip of funny anchor banter from past videos
3-5 seconds
“@TheBuzzer, your home for...”
3-5 seconds
Clip of funny athlete mishap in an interview

In order to get Spotify listeners to the branded playlists (under Tactics: Content), we recommend running audio ads each week
a new playlist is launched. Playlists should also be released before major games in order to capitalize on the already high hype
and interest in the upcoming game.The audio ads interrupt a Spotify user’s listening session, and with the built in features
of volume control, are hard to ignore. In this opportunity you can direct listeners to click on the banner below to listen to the
favorite music of Dale Earnhardt Jr., Lebron James and other professional athletes. Even if they don’t click on the link itself, the
audio ads are still a great opportunity to raise awareness of @TheBuzzer in our target market.
Since around 20% of Spotify listeners are using Spotify premium, and therefore will not be exposed to Audio Ads, we
recommend using Spotify’s social features to share the playlists on @TheBuzzer’s twitter and Facebook feeds. This way current
fans of @TheBuzzer will have direct access to this content, and could drive fans who don’t yet have Spotify accounts to these
playlists.We recommend launching two new playlists each month. This will create an active feed and build up a base that will
make @TheBuzzer the main location to access this content.
Spotify would be about a hundred thousand dollar investment. With the direct connection to our target audience, and building
up of the @TheBuzzer brand as the cool place to access unique sports content, it will be worth the investment.

@TheBuzzer “For the Fans” Viewing Experience
FOX Sports has previously broadcast the Cowboys vs. Eagles NFC rivalry game. The first meeting of these two teams
next season will take place at the Eagle’s stadium in Philadelphia. This will leave many Cowboys fans watching the game
at home. @TheBuzzer wants to share these fans’ passion for the game by creating an environment in which they can
celebrate the rivalry together. For this game, @TheBuzzer will sponsor a viewing in the heart of downtown Dallas at Klyde
Warren Park. A 31ft projector screen will be set up in the middle of the park. This will create an atmosphere for fans to sit
outside and enjoy the game together. @TheBuzzer will benefit from this event through the increased brand exposure.
The Venue:
The event will take place at Klyde Warren Park. Security for crowd control will be provided by the park. Food and alcohol
will be available at this event. Klyde Warren has a catering company they use for all events. This event will be free to the
public so tickets will not be necessary. It is BYOB (bring your own blanket) to sit on to watch the game.

Currently both the @TheBuzzer and FOX Sports websites are linked, which allows traffic to be shared between the two. However, the current
design is cluttered, does not follow a clear hierarchy and users can accidentally navigate away from @TheBuzzer’s site. Additionally, more
millennials are using their mobile devices to access content. To streamline the user’s experience, we simplified the design of @TheBuzzer’s
website and will function as a landing page for users. All of @TheBuzzer’s content will be made available, but the latest videos will be at the top.
This allows users to find what they are looking for quickly. The biggest video will automatically start playing, without sound. The @TheBuzzer
navigation bar will, however, remain on the page below the FOX Sports navigation bar. Links to all of @TheBuzzer’s social media feeds as well as
their YouTube page will be available and gives users easy access to all the platforms. The new site will still be connected to the FOX Sports site,
but content not related to @TheBuzzer will be removed from the page. This will give @TheBuzzer’s content a chance to stand alone, and create a
more streamlined experience for users. There will be simple modules for not only @TheBuzzer’s blogs, podcasts, videos and feeds, but also links
and navigation to view more content and specific segments. Ad space will also be available. The website will be implemented at the beginning
of the new year, accompanied by the app and transit ads.

Our target is always on the go, and because of this, @TheBuzzer’s digital content
needs to be easy to quickly view. To cater to their preference, we will create
a hybrid app for @TheBuzzer. The app will be created as a hybrid, so it will be
available on the Apple app store and Google Play store. This will allow for simple
coding and for the app to run on its own. As @TheBuzzer updates its site and
YouTube channel, the app will aggregate these videos directly and sort them using
tags. This app will be for video content only. It will also allow the user to jump
to @TheBuzzer content on other apps, such as Facebook, Spotify, YouTube and
Twitter.
When the app first opens, the user will be able to either make their own account
or login using Facebook. The big pull for this app is its ability to cater to the
user’s passion points. Users will be able to create lists of content they want to
see using the video tags. Some filters users can use to create these lists include
sports, leagues, teams (only those with @TheBuzzer contracts) and type (i.e.
newest, most popular, funny). Users can not only make lists using tags, but they
can also order these lists. For instance, Maya can make sure she sees the newest
stories at the top of her feed and, when she has extra time, she can scroll to the
bottom to stay updated on the her favorite league. The app will send a push daily
notification to remind the user to check for new videos. The push notification
will be accompanied by a shot-clock “buzzer” sound and a few tones unique
to @TheBuzzer. Users can turn off this notification, or make
notifications sound only when specific content is uploaded.
The app will be implemented at the beginning of the new year,
accompanied by the website and transit ads.

Hi, Olivia!
S O C I A L M E D I A S T R A T E G Y
Currently, @TheBuzzer is on Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat. The Chiliad Agency is also promoting the launching of a new
website platform and app for better mobile access to @TheBuzzer’s content. These media platforms combined will make
@TheBuzzer more accessible and actively present for Laid Back Sports Fans and Eclectic Trendsetters.
@TheBuzzer is currently maintaining their Facebook page well, and we want them to continue some of the strategies they
have in place. Uploading the content as it is created, and keeping the Facebook page constantly updated. With the change in
the Facebook’s algorithm, we recommend @TheBuzzer uploads their videos within Facebook in order to get a higher presence
on News Feed. The main improvement to the Facebook is that it needs more interaction, having @TheBuzzer respond to
people’s comments on their posts, and doing more tagging of teams in the videos in order to get a higher presence on News
Feed. These factors combined will make @TheBuzzer show up more in people’s daily logins to Facebook, and therefore make
better usage of this media outlet.
Facebook’s event option is also a good way for @TheBuzzer to promote that they are going to be coming to different sporting
events. The Chiliad Agency is also recommending a Fan Experience tent at different major sporting events and projecting
games and creating events, and these tactics could easily be promoted through Facebook events and invite fans to these
occasions. The event page also allows @TheBuzzer to get a more accurate headcount of how many people will be coming to
their different events, and track the success of their promotional efforts.
Chiliad Agency is also recommending that @TheBuzzer start making Spotify playlists, hitting on a combination of fans’
interests in Sports celebrities’ preferences and their passion for music. These playlists can be promoted on Facebook and
Twitter by sharing the Spotify links that would direct fans to the playlists.
The key to the Twitter page is interaction and posting in the moment. Retweeting fans’ responses to @TheBuzzer content,
responding to current events as they are live, and reacting to different Fox Sports news as well. Twitter is a constant feed,
and users are only looking it at when content is live, different than Facebook where posts can have much a longer life on
News Feed. Because of this nature, @TheBuzzer’s content on Twitter is more than just links to their newest video, it can be
more content of what is relevant right now in sports news.
Snapchat is a great opportunity for @TheBuzzer to show behind the scenes content at the different sporting events they
attend and humorous events around the office. The quick snackable template of ten seconds or less photos and/or videos is
perfect for on the go Laid Back Sports Fans and Eclectic Trendsetters. It is also a great promotional tool to get the word out
about new videos. The Snapchat story needs to be updated on a regular basis to become a relevant presence on a person’s
Snapchat Timeline. Using apps like Snap Save, in order to save snaps from fans, and Snap Up, to upload those photos,
could be a great interaction opportunity for @TheBuzzer and fans. Fans can send in their own views on different sporting
events and is a great opportunity to possibly identify people for Fan Focus clips. It is also a good tool to develop a more
concentrated following of @TheBuzzer fans, who are frequently checking in to see if their photos are placed on
@TheBuzzer’s story.
With the launch of the new website design and app, both of these events need to be promoted heavily on all of
@TheBuzzer’s existing Social Media platforms. That way current fans know they can experience @TheBuzzer in a new way
and new people can get to know @TheBuzzer through these new means.
The goal of this social media campaign is to help build brand awareness and overall brand loyalty. These were the two of the
issues that our research presented us with. The amount of activity and the content that is presented has to be increased and
contain more substance in order to gain that loyal following from the Laid Back Sports Fans and Eclectic Trendsetters.

EXAMPLE INTERVIEW FOR LOLO JONES:
When Jones isn’t training, she is heavily engaged in philanthropic work through her foundation, Hurdles of Hope. The focus of this foundation is to
empower young children who face socio-economic hardships and inspire them to pursue their dream. The program consists of encouraging them to
reach their full potential and giving them the tools to do so. This program has been implemented in many inner-city communities and has made a real
difference in the lives of its participants.
Tell us what a typical day of training looks like for you?
My schedule fluctuates depending on what time of the year it is because my coach, Dennis Shaver, works in cycles. In the fall, for example, I do longer
tempo stuff. This is when workouts pertaining to pilates comes in. In the spring, we begin to concentrate on my sprinting techniques. Weight training
is the only thing that stays constant throughout the year.
Lets talk about your free time. What do you do? What would we be surprised to learn about you?
I absolutely love Dance Dance Revolution. It’s fun and a good way to de-stress from the day. I also enjoy rock climbing and reading. I am kind of a nerd
when it comes books and video games. I read at least three books a month ranging from Harry Potter to Stephen King novels. As for gaming, one thing
people would be surprised to learn about me is that I love Call of Duty and Halo. Also, I truly love the work we do through my foundation. I had a rough
upbringing, so I am thankful and blessed for all of the opportunities I have had to be able to make a difference in of those who are faced with daily
struggles similar to what I experienced.
How about cheat food. What is your guilty pleasure?
I usually treat myself to wings twice a month. In the off-season, I want to go for the record of eating 70 super spicy wings. I am the self proclaimed
“Wing Queen”. I once entered a wing competition, and I may or may not have come in first place.
What are some goals you hope to achieve in the coming year?
Regarding the 2016 Olympics, I hope to achieve my goal of getting a gold medal.
Who do you look up to?
Throughout my life I have had the honor of being able to work with so many wonderful people who have helped and inspired me throughout this whole
process. My parents, however, have always been a constant source of support. From shuttling me from one practice to another every day and icing my
ankles every night when I was young to cheering me on at the Olympics, they have never complained or tried to steer me in another direction. They
were always encouraging and I couldn’t have gotten here without them. Their selflessness, warmth and loyalty is something I try to emulate in my
daily life.

  • 2. The intention of this integrated marketing communications campaign is to position @TheBuzzer as a feeder for passion points among its target audiences. @TheBuzzer is a branch of FOX Sports, focusing on the more lighthearted entertainment aspect of the sports arena. However, through research conducted, it appears that this entity has low brand recognition and support. Three insights from our research led us to believe that @TheBuzzer serves as the perfect conversation starter for the millennial audience: 1. According to our initial survey, the number one type of content preferred by the millennial audience are short, funny videos which are synonymous with the content @TheBuzzer produces. 2. Additionally, the initial survey indicated that the majority of millennials consume sports information for an hour or less per day, tying into the need for a platform that produces quick, entertaining information. 3. The consumer research found that the millennial generation enjoys sharing information or “passion points” that they are able to identify with. This campaign is designed to appeal to two audiences, the Laid-Back Sports Follower and the Eclectic Trendsetter, through raising awareness of @TheBuzzer, driving recognition of @TheBuzzer as a conversation starter and increasing the number of users who return to the site. This plan is focused not only on building brand recognition and awareness, but also on developing content that is conversational and feeds into the audience’s passion. To accurately appeal to two distinctly different audiences, the campaign’s strategies and tactics are divided into content creation, advertising, public relations, and digital strategies. The advertising and promotional tactics will play into brand transparency, allowing audience members to interact with @TheBuzzer on a more personal level. Additionally, the content creation and digital work is imperative to the success of this campaign because it is the driving force that will keep the audience interested in the site’s premise and increase the return rate. CAMPAIGN DURATION: August 1, 2015 - July 31, 2016 BUDGET: $380,000 TARGET: Males and Females, 18-24 E X E C U T I V E S U M M A R Y

This innovative, video-based site provides the snackable sports gossip that fans will not hear anywhere else. Because @TheBuzzer is the only outlet of its kind, it has the opportunity to reach the laid-back sports fans and eclectic trendsetters. @TheBuzzer feeds viewers’ passion points to spark conversations about the casual sports gossip that provides the inside scoop. Our research has found that millennials enjoy concise, funny videos that are more than just click bait. This is exactly what @TheBuzzer provides and with the right promotional tactics, can expand its audience. With our campaign, this agency is going to achieve an increase in recognition, sharing and return rate by reaching the audience across multiple platforms. The goal is to show that @TheBuzzer owns the laid-back, lighthearted look at sports entertainment by putting an emphasis on short, quippy video content, and straying away from the norms of your typical sports news outlets. Thank you for your consideration and we look forward to speaking with you.

  • 5. S I T U A T I O N A L A N A L Y S I S 1 situational analysis situational analysis 2 @TheBuzzer lacks brand recognition and loyalty that affects its prominence within the sports entertainment community. Although it is a subsidiary of FOX Sports, there is a deficiency of awareness for the site within the sports entertainment community due to a lack of compelling content and a user friendly interface. @TheBuzzer currently produces videos that inform the viewer about the pop culture side of the sports arena. Additionally, @TheBuzzer does not host its own domain, making it easy for its viewers to unintentionally navigate off the site. An integrated marketing communications campaign will help @TheBuzzer increase awareness of its brand and develop brand loyalty. To sufficiently learn about @TheBuzzer’s target audiences, we completed both primary and secondary research. Our primary research consisted of conducting a survey targeted at a millennial audience that asked questions about media habits, sports inclinations, and more specifically, @TheBuzzer. Additionally, the primary research included focus groups and observational research to understand the millennials interaction with @TheBuzzer and learn what they are looking for in a sports entertainment site. Along with primary research, secondary research was conducted to understand the atmosphere @TheBuzzer is competing in. The research conducted spanned the consumer arena, brand analysis, FOX Sports competitors, and a company analysis. The research conducted led to three key insights that guided our campaign. 1. “I enjoy funny sports videos” In our survey, this was the number one response to a question about content preference. Millennials enjoy lighthearted, witty entertainment that they can share with their friends. 2. “Passion Points” From our secondary research, it was found that the millennial audience enjoys sharing stories that they relate with on a personal, philanthropic and humorous basis. It is important for content to appeal to the audience’s emotions if it wants to be something that is shared and liked by a wide reach. 3. “The majority of sports media consumption is less than one hour (47%) or one to two hours (27%).” With the millennial audience responding that a very minimal amount of the media they consume daily is sports, it is important to make content quick and to the point. Millennials will not wait around for long articles and videos or trouble themselves with content that they deem uninteresting or unrelatable. P R O B L E M R E S E A R C H I N S I G H T S

The content shown needs to grab the audience’s attention quickly, get to the point of the entertainment and be sharable, making the viewer an expert on sports entertainment.
  • 8. BIG IDEA 87 BIG IDEA @TheBuzzer provides fans unique information on their sports passion points; things that millennials are most likely to care about, share content about, and see as part of their identity. A funny story about the quarterback on their favorite team feeds more directly into their sports passion points than say statistics or game run downs of how their team performed because the personal quality of the athlete is there. The millennial can say they “know” the athlete because @TheBuzzer gave them an inside look into their life apart from stats and records. “ @ T h e B u z z e r f e e d s y o u r p a s s i o n t o b e t h e t r e n d s e t t e r f o r s p o r t s e n t e r t a i n m e n t s t o r i e s . ” B I G I D E A :
  • 9. CREATIVE 10 @TheBuzzer owns the laid-back, lighthearted look at sports entertainment by putting an emphasis on short, quippy video content, and straying away from the norms of your typical sports news outlets. @TheBuzzer will position itself as the source for millennials’ passion points in the sports arena. We will raise awareness among Laid-Back Sports Followers and Eclectic Trendsetters by going to where they already are (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Mobile Apps, etc.), and we will keep them coming back to the site by streamlining the experience across all platforms and focusing the content on fun, lighthearted, gossipy sports entertainment stories. Sharing will be irresistible by capitalizing on their need to be the source for what’s currently trending in all areas for their group of influence. Content will be more focused on feel good stories, trending topics, and behind the scenes of popular teams and players. Today’s millennials want to feel a connection with not only brands, but public figures they are invested in as their passion points. By catering to their particular passion points, @TheBuzzer can ensure audiences keep coming back for more. Public Relations will be used to also create that more personal feel between the brand and its audience. Advertising will be used to primarily drive users to @TheBuzzer content, whether it be on an app, their website, or social media. Finally, digital upgrades to the @TheBuzzer website, and the creation of an app, will cater to the audiences’ “on-the-go” nature and sensitivity to aesthetics and ease of use when browsing online. C R E A T I V E A P P R O A C H 9 MEDIA M E D I A S T R A T E G Y To supplement our campaign we will develop content that spans their existing social media and site platforms. This content will generate interest and awareness across the target audience as well as provide shareable information. Stories will focus on news and stories that speak to millenials’ “passion points,” so they will be more likely to share this content with their circle of influence. The overall goal of advertising campaigns to reach target audience across multiple platforms to increase awareness and overall perception. By utilizing social media we will relay the brand attitude and generate attention. Broadcast advertising will be used to reach FOX Sports previously established fan base. Digital music outlets will target unsuspecting audience members who aren’t directly seeking sports gossip/information. Television: Utilizing FOX Sports and parent company Transit: Grabbing the attention of consumers while they are a captive audience Digital Music Outlets: Sponsored playlist and ads The overall goal of the public relations media strategy is to use various events to interact with the audience and drive awareness of the @TheBuzzer brand. Social media will be used to promote happenings within the company and to directly interact with members of the audience. Event sponsorships will promote a positive perception of the brand within local communities. Event Sponsorship: To drive awareness of @TheBuzzer through supporting community events. To help increase awareness, identity and availability, The Chiliad Agency has redesigned @TheBuzzer’s website into a more user-friendly format that allows seamless use while still giving consumers what they need. The new @TheBuzzer interface provides a less cluttered, easy to use site that will give our target audiences exactly what they are looking for while touching on their passion points. Another new implementation will be the addition of an @TheBuzzer app. With the app, users will be able to access the site’s videos on the go. The format will be user-friendly and be similar to the new site design. This will ensure that consumers always have constant access to @TheBuzzer’s content. Website Re-Design: Easier to navigate and use App creation: Content on the go C O N T E N T C R E A T I O N A D V E R T I S I N G P U B L I C R E L A T I O N S D I G I TA L
  • 11. 13 CONTENT S P O T I F Y P L A Y L I S T S Our Laid Back Sports Followers and Eclectic Trendsetters are passionate about the music that they listen to. They are constantly on the go and want to be able to quickly access their music. Spotify’s personalization features make this possible, and therefore had become very popular among our target audience. Of Spotify’s 60 million active users, 40% of them are in the 18-24 age bracket. According to Spotify’s data, “compared to the general population, Spotify users are 26% more likely to be a student, 20% more likely to be a college student and 3.75x more likely to be a graduate student.” This gives @TheBuzzer a great opportunity to get straight into the headphones of our target audience. To combine our audience’s passions of music and sports, we propose creating branded playlists of professional athletes’ favorite music. This would give fans the opportunity to get to experience new music in the Spotify library, as well as feel a different connection to their favorite athletes through music. Branded Playlists require a minimum of 40 songs from different artists, so if the athlete doesn’t give you that large of a library, we recommend using music of a similar style to finish out the playlist. Branded Playlists allow for links to other websites. This space should be used to write a short summary of @TheBuzzer and links to @TheBuzzer’s other sites. F O X - Y L A D I E S CONTENT 14 Fox-y Lady will be rebranded to feature professional, successful and philanthropic female athletes. This will attract the female audience @TheBuzzer has not been able to reach before. In addition, re-tooling this segment clears up confusion and misleading articles on @TheBuzzer’s site. Throughout these interviews, anchors will have the opportunity to sit down with each athlete, giving users a chance get to know them on a more personal level. The Fox-y Lady would also focus on athletes who participate in charities in order to dig deeper into the target audience’s passion points. This segment should be scheduled to be published bi- weekly. The Fox-y Lady will be chosen based on nominations made by @TheBuzzer users. Lolo Jones: Summer and Winter Olympic Athlete Example Fox-y Lady: Bio: Lolo was named Lori after her mother, but said she started going by “Lolo” in order to differentiate the two on the telephone. From the time she was a child, Lolo wanted to achieve her dream of being a famous track star. When her family decided to move to Forest City, Iowa, however, it seemed like this possibility was going to be out of reach. Jones told her mother, “Mom, I can’t go to a city that doesn’t have a track.” This didn’t end up stopping her though. Lolo went on to become one of the most popular athletes and competed in the 2012 Olympics. Other possible Fox-y Ladies: Danica Patrick, Lindsey Vonn, Caroline Wozniacki, Skylar Diggins, Venus and Serena Williams, Hope Solo
  • 12. F A N F O C U S 15 CONTENT Some of @TheBuzzer’s most unique video content is when it finds the special stories about fans who have an over the top passion for their team. Seeing others who are over zealous about their team, gets others into the game. This makes it more likely for fans to share this content. With the Fan Focus segment, in coordination with the Fan Experience tent, @TheBuzzer can post on social media that they are coming to a certain sporting event. They will also use social media to find and invite whoever is the “most passionate fan”. At this event, they need to prove to @TheBuzzer that they deserve to be a part of that week’s Fan Focus. Once chosen, they will be interviewed about their story as a fan and how they became passionate about the team.

Seeing if any unique fans come by with an evident passion for the team and inviting them to be the Fan Focus.
  • 13. B E H I N D T H E J E R S E Y 17 CONTENT Every month @TheBuzzer will sponsor a behind the scenes segment called “Behind the Jersey”. Each segment will feature clips of the players and their daily routine. The clips will give an inside scoop on athletes and teams that reach our audience through the organic lens of what happens off the field. These shots will show the locker room, practice field, philanthropic events, talks with coaches, etc. The audience will be drawn in because they are passionate about their favorite players and want to be apart of their everyday lives. Seeing their favorite teams off the field, in an unscripted environment, will shine a different light on them. This piece will be launched monthly, with a new segment coming out every third week of the month. 1 2 Teammates in the locker room with fellow players and coaching staff (:60) Teammates participating in “do-good”/charitable events (:60) CONTENT 18 3 54 Team practices on home court or in media room (:60) Players and coaching staff on bus ride to away games/team events (:60) Casual/Informal interview with Head Coach (:60) Seasons by month: August: NCAAF, University of Alabama September: NFL, Seattle Seahawks October: NCAAF, University of Oregon November: NFL, Carolina Panthers December: NCAAF, Ohio State University January: NFL, New England Patriots February: NCAA BK, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill March: NCAA BK, University of Kentucky April: MLB, Yankees May: NCAAB, University of California at Los Angeles June: NASCAR, Kevin Harvick July: UFC, Fight Night San Diego; Tony Ferguson vs. Josh Thomson
  • 14. R E A L A T H L E T E S , R E A L S T O R I E S 19 CONTENT @TheBuzzer will produce a seasonal human interest series called “Real Athletes, Real Stories”. @TheBuzzer will provide viewers with an inside look at an athletes inspirational journey; feeding the viewer’s passion by bringing new life and meaning to the heart of the game as well as the heart of an athlete. This segment will further exemplify how it is not necessary to have a contract or be a celebrity icon in order to be considered a “real athlete,” but can happen by simply embracing one’s love of game. @TheBuzzer will select each athlete via public nominations and relevant news stories. Viewers will have the opportunity to nominate athletes for each seasonal segment series which gives the audience a sense of control in the content creation. The video will contain 10- 15 minutes of unscripted content regarding the following: who is the athlete, why are they inspirational, how has their passion impacted others around them, etc. This tactic puts an emphasis on the passion our target audience has in regards to a feel good story and inspirational people. This will be a seasonal series, with one week full of 10-15 minute videos during each season.

  • 16. B U Z Z E R M O N D A Y 23 CONTENT Buzzer Monday is a short segment ranging from 60 to 90 seconds long. It will be a fresh broadcast once a week throughout the campaign period. The segment is a competition between two anchors (Andy Nesbitt and Kristin Balboni) to provide the most interesting video clip, and back it up with a short argument. A celebrity judge will decide who makes the most persuasive argument. The celebrity will depend on what Fox Sports has going on that week. If an MMA match is being covered, then our judge will be an MMA fighter they have brought in for their own broadcast. The Fox-y Lady of the week can also be invited to be the celebrity judge. Each anchor’s clip will present their favorite sports video that is trending that week. Possible topics covered include exciting or horrible plays, interview moments, charity events, referee or fan moments, etc. Once both videos are shown, each anchor will have until the sound of the buzzer to discuss why their clip should be chosen as the best clip of the week. The judge will award points based on quality, humor or relevance. This will help the anchors choose trending topics to compete with one another on the show.The judge will be actively awarding points and commenting on what anchors are presenting during each anchor’s argument. The hashtag #BuzzerMonday will be used on Twitter for fans to tweet who they thought had the better clip and argument/discussion. Followers and users of the site/app will receive a Buzzer notification to their phone, tablet, or computer alerting them that a new video has been uploaded each Monday.

  • 17. P U B L I C T R A N S I T A D V E R T I S I N G According to our research, young professionals are drawn to large cities to begin their careers. Due to the size of these cities, public transportation is the most effective way to get around. Additionally, many colleges in large cities distribute transit passes to their students as a way to navigate the city. Strategic transit advertising will reach our target audience effectively and in a creative way. The advertisements will feature professional athletes who are popular in a specific city (i.e. in New York, a Mets player will be shown). In addition, the logo and text about feeding fans’ passion for sports will be printed next to the athletes. By featuring popular athletes and having a simple slogan, we are giving them a quick look at what @TheBuzzer offers. Transit adveritsing will include outside wraps and inside subway car ads. Suggested Company Partnership: Outfront Media is the leader in out-of-home advertising. This company is able to provide everything @TheBuzzer will need in order to launch a successful and crisp looking transit advertising campaign across many large cities. Due to their success, exclusive transit contracts with major cities and ability to engage with both mass and targeted audiences throughout the day, we believe Outfront Media is the most promising provider.

  • 18. I N - H O U S E T V A D V E R T I S I N G 27 ADVERTISING @TheBuzzer will buy 15 second advertising spaces on Fox Sports. These spots will open with an in-house shot of the anchors, followed by a three second emphasis on @TheBuzzer’s logo, followed by previous broadcast footage, and finalized with an enticement related to the near-future featured athlete or story on @TheBuzzer. In the storyboard provided, Andy Nesbitt and Kristen Balboni are featured as the anchors, LeBron James as the previous interview footage from @TheBuzzer and Clint Dempsey as a potential teaser to finish out the spot. A voice overlay will briefly describe what the audience will gain from visiting @TheBuzzer during the logo emphasis. Four different sports will be focused on, with each sport having its own set of ads. @TheBuzzer ads featuring NFL coverage will run August 2015 through November 2015. This insures coverage of both the preseason and regular season. During UFC, each month of the year has between three and six fights. Because there are at least three fights, @TheBuzzer will have the opportunity to feature a few different fighters in the advertisements. These ads will be run throughout the campaign. Its frequency will be based on the event schedule of the other three sports. NASCAR ads will run February 2015 through June 2015. This ensures complete coverage from the Sprint Cup Series to the Chase for the Sprint Cup. In between those two major events are smaller races that will also be featured. Soccer themed ads will begin two weeks before the beginning of the season. Due to the amount of coverage the MLS Superdraft brings in, it is worth extending soccer themed @TheBuzzer ads into February. February and November are months where three sports are covered at the same time. Because of this, the @TheBuzzer advertisements will have a lot of variety. During the other months, there will be a minimum of two different sport-themed @TheBuzzer ads running. 3-5 seconds Clip of funny anchor banter from past videos 3-5 seconds “@TheBuzzer, your home for...” 3-5 seconds Clip of funny athlete mishap in an interview 3-5 seconds “... feeding your passion for more than the game.” Buzzer sound and tones ADVERTISING 28 1 2 3 4
  • 19. 29 ADVERTISING S P O T I F Y A U D I O A D S In order to get Spotify listeners to the branded playlists (under Tactics: Content), we recommend running audio ads each week a new playlist is launched. Playlists should also be released before major games in order to capitalize on the already high hype and interest in the upcoming game.The audio ads interrupt a Spotify user’s listening session, and with the built in features of volume control, are hard to ignore. In this opportunity you can direct listeners to click on the banner below to listen to the favorite music of Dale Earnhardt Jr., Lebron James and other professional athletes. Even if they don’t click on the link itself, the audio ads are still a great opportunity to raise awareness of @TheBuzzer in our target market. Since around 20% of Spotify listeners are using Spotify premium, and therefore will not be exposed to Audio Ads, we recommend using Spotify’s social features to share the playlists on @TheBuzzer’s twitter and Facebook feeds. This way current fans of @TheBuzzer will have direct access to this content, and could drive fans who don’t yet have Spotify accounts to these playlists.We recommend launching two new playlists each month.

LeBron: I only have three friends in the NBA VIDEOS @JimmyTraina Currently both the @TheBuzzer and FOX Sports websites are linked, which allows traffic to be shared between the two. However, the current design is cluttered, does not follow a clear hierarchy and users can accidentally navigate away from @TheBuzzer’s site. Additionally, more millennials are using their mobile devices to access content. To streamline the user’s experience, we simplified the design of @TheBuzzer’s website and will function as a landing page for users. All of @TheBuzzer’s content will be made available, but the latest videos will be at the top. This allows users to find what they are looking for quickly. The biggest video will automatically start playing, without sound. The @TheBuzzer navigation bar will, however, remain on the page below the FOX Sports navigation bar. Links to all of @TheBuzzer’s social media feeds as well as their YouTube page will be available and gives users easy access to all the platforms. The new site will still be connected to the FOX Sports site, but content not related to @TheBuzzer will be removed from the page. This will give @TheBuzzer’s content a chance to stand alone, and create a more streamlined experience for users. There will be simple modules for not only @TheBuzzer’s blogs, podcasts, videos and feeds, but also links and navigation to view more content and specific segments. Ad space will also be available. The website will be implemented at the beginning of the new year, accompanied by the app and transit ads. DIGITAL 36 PODCASTS PHOTOSBIG BUZZ Lebron James is a great world leader.

  • 23. A P P C R E A T I O N 37 DIGITAL LOG IN sign up username password Log In with Facebook Our target is always on the go, and because of this, @TheBuzzer’s digital content needs to be easy to quickly view. To cater to their preference, we will create a hybrid app for @TheBuzzer. The app will be created as a hybrid, so it will be available on the Apple app store and Google Play store. This will allow for simple coding and for the app to run on its own. As @TheBuzzer updates its site and YouTube channel, the app will aggregate these videos directly and sort them using tags. This app will be for video content only. It will also allow the user to jump to @TheBuzzer content on other apps, such as Facebook, Spotify, YouTube and Twitter. When the app first opens, the user will be able to either make their own account or login using Facebook. The big pull for this app is its ability to cater to the user’s passion points. Users will be able to create lists of content they want to see using the video tags. Some filters users can use to create these lists include sports, leagues, teams (only those with @TheBuzzer contracts) and type (i.e. newest, most popular, funny). Users can not only make lists using tags, but they can also order these lists. For instance, Maya can make sure she sees the newest stories at the top of her feed and, when she has extra time, she can scroll to the bottom to stay updated on the her favorite league. The app will send a push daily notification to remind the user to check for new videos. The push notification will be accompanied by a shot-clock “buzzer” sound and a few tones unique to @TheBuzzer. Users can turn off this notification, or make notifications sound only when specific content is uploaded. The app will be implemented at the beginning of the new year, accompanied by the website and transit ads.

  • 24. S O C I A L M E D I A S T R A T E G Y Currently, @TheBuzzer is on Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat. The Chiliad Agency is also promoting the launching of a new website platform and app for better mobile access to @TheBuzzer’s content. These media platforms combined will make @TheBuzzer more accessible and actively present for Laid Back Sports Fans and Eclectic Trendsetters. @TheBuzzer is currently maintaining their Facebook page well, and we want them to continue some of the strategies they have in place. Uploading the content as it is created, and keeping the Facebook page constantly updated. With the change in the Facebook’s algorithm, we recommend @TheBuzzer uploads their videos within Facebook in order to get a higher presence on News Feed. The main improvement to the Facebook is that it needs more interaction, having @TheBuzzer respond to people’s comments on their posts, and doing more tagging of teams in the videos in order to get a higher presence on News Feed. These factors combined will make @TheBuzzer show up more in people’s daily logins to Facebook, and therefore make better usage of this media outlet. Facebook’s event option is also a good way for @TheBuzzer to promote that they are going to be coming to different sporting events. The Chiliad Agency is also recommending a Fan Experience tent at different major sporting events and projecting games and creating events, and these tactics could easily be promoted through Facebook events and invite fans to these occasions. The event page also allows @TheBuzzer to get a more accurate headcount of how many people will be coming to their different events, and track the success of their promotional efforts. Chiliad Agency is also recommending that @TheBuzzer start making Spotify playlists, hitting on a combination of fans’ interests in Sports celebrities’ preferences and their passion for music. These playlists can be promoted on Facebook and Twitter by sharing the Spotify links that would direct fans to the playlists. The key to the Twitter page is interaction and posting in the moment. Retweeting fans’ responses to @TheBuzzer content, responding to current events as they are live, and reacting to different Fox Sports news as well. Twitter is a constant feed, and users are only looking it at when content is live, different than Facebook where posts can have much a longer life on News Feed. Because of this nature, @TheBuzzer’s content on Twitter is more than just links to their newest video, it can be more content of what is relevant right now in sports news. Snapchat is a great opportunity for @TheBuzzer to show behind the scenes content at the different sporting events they attend and humorous events around the office. The quick snackable template of ten seconds or less photos and/or videos is perfect for on the go Laid Back Sports Fans and Eclectic Trendsetters. It is also a great promotional tool to get the word out about new videos. The Snapchat story needs to be updated on a regular basis to become a relevant presence on a person’s Snapchat Timeline. Using apps like Snap Save, in order to save snaps from fans, and Snap Up, to upload those photos, could be a great interaction opportunity for @TheBuzzer and fans. Fans can send in their own views on different sporting events and is a great opportunity to possibly identify people for Fan Focus clips. It is also a good tool to develop a more concentrated following of @TheBuzzer fans, who are frequently checking in to see if their photos are placed on @TheBuzzer’s story. With the launch of the new website design and app, both of these events need to be promoted heavily on all of @TheBuzzer’s existing Social Media platforms. That way current fans know they can experience @TheBuzzer in a new way and new people can get to know @TheBuzzer through these new means. The goal of this social media campaign is to help build brand awareness and overall brand loyalty. These were the two of the issues that our research presented us with. The amount of activity and the content that is presented has to be increased and contain more substance in order to gain that loyal following from the Laid Back Sports Fans and Eclectic Trendsetters. 39 DIGITAL DIGITAL 40

Transit ads will begin in November, when temperatures across the nation drop and people have to use public transportation more. In January, the ads will focus primarily on the new app that is available to download, to push people to get connected with @TheBuzzer. Spotify Ads will pulse for most of the year. The Experience Tents and Outdoor Screenings will coincide with specific games that FOX has the rights to show. EVALUATION 44 To track the return rate of visitors to the website and their interaction with social media pages, Google, Facebook and Twitter Analytics will be used. Additionally, the dashboard for the app development software will feature the ability to track downloads and usage of the mobile platform.

Other evaluation methods include reaching out to participants of the hosted events to get their feedback on the brand’s transparency and message. E V A L U A T I O N

  • 32. 55 EXTRA TACTICS EXTRA TACTICS 56 F O X - Y L A D I E S EXAMPLE INTERVIEW FOR LOLO JONES: When Jones isn’t training, she is heavily engaged in philanthropic work through her foundation, Hurdles of Hope. The focus of this foundation is to empower young children who face socio-economic hardships and inspire them to pursue their dream. The program consists of encouraging them to reach their full potential and giving them the tools to do so. This program has been implemented in many inner-city communities and has made a real difference in the lives of its participants. Tell us what a typical day of training looks like for you? My schedule fluctuates depending on what time of the year it is because my coach, Dennis Shaver, works in cycles. In the fall, for example, I do longer tempo stuff. This is when workouts pertaining to pilates comes in. In the spring, we begin to concentrate on my sprinting techniques. Weight training is the only thing that stays constant throughout the year. Lets talk about your free time. What do you do? What would we be surprised to learn about you? I absolutely love Dance Dance Revolution. It’s fun and a good way to de-stress from the day. I also enjoy rock climbing and reading. I am kind of a nerd when it comes books and video games. I read at least three books a month ranging from Harry Potter to Stephen King novels. As for gaming, one thing people would be surprised to learn about me is that I love Call of Duty and Halo. Also, I truly love the work we do through my foundation. I had a rough upbringing, so I am thankful and blessed for all of the opportunities I have had to be able to make a difference in of those who are faced with daily struggles similar to what I experienced. How about cheat food. What is your guilty pleasure? I usually treat myself to wings twice a month. In the off-season, I want to go for the record of eating 70 super spicy wings. I am the self proclaimed “Wing Queen”. I once entered a wing competition, and I may or may not have come in first place. What are some goals you hope to achieve in the coming year? Regarding the 2016 Olympics, I hope to achieve my goal of getting a gold medal. Who do you look up to? Throughout my life I have had the honor of being able to work with so many wonderful people who have helped and inspired me throughout this whole process. My parents, however, have always been a constant source of support. From shuttling me from one practice to another every day and icing my ankles every night when I was young to cheering me on at the Olympics, they have never complained or tried to steer me in another direction. They were always encouraging and I couldn’t have gotten here without them. Their selflessness, warmth and loyalty is something I try to emulate in my daily life.
