      BRM          • Brands target relevant consumers and push their
                     communication.
2                  • Consumer selects the brand communication he wants
                     to watch, rejects the ones he is not interested in.
                   • Consumer watches brand communication, answers
                     simple quiz and confirms he paid attention.

Blowing Up the Marketing Costs Bubble


• The Challenge:                                    80% of Price:
                                                   Marketing Costs
    How can brands reduce and control
    their marketing costs to meet
    consumers’ needs for more value-
    packed products?

•   The Solution:
    Brands need to reassess their
    marketing expenses and create value
    by optimizing their marketing costs, and
    improving their ROI.
     – Reduced costs means higher margins or
       greater pricing flexibility to offer more
       value for a lower price.

                                                    20% of Price:
