Marketing Background:

      *Market Place: SPARKE F is a new launching electric car in
Thailand. It will position at the 1st place in electric car market. As
there is no electric car in Thailand, SPARKE F is the market leader
with no competitor.

      At present, the earth is facing environmental problems as a
result of economic development which ignores environmental
development. The increase in the number of vehicles has led to an
increase of gasoline usage resulting in both noise and air pollution.
In addition, the oil price has also increased recently.

      Due to the rising cost of fuel and the environmental damage it
causes to our world, many car owners or buyers are looking for an
alternative way to save money. Fuel supply is finite and the price of
gas is only going to rise higher and higher. The oil prices will rise
going forward, probably in a range around the 30% per year. That
is where an electric car has its advantages.

       International study shows global gains in consideration
electric vehicles. Worldwide, 45% of all motorists reported that
increasing fuel prices have forced them to change their driving
behavior to lower their fuel consumption. Environmental
considerations and increasing fuel prices were equally important
motivators.

       It is know that eventually electrics will take over. In the end,
all vehicles will be electric because petroleum will be too scarce and
bio-fuels cannot be scaled with foreseeable technology to substitute
very much. The auto industry can no longer rely almost exclusively
on oil to supply the world's automotive energy requirements. So it
is really the timing of the transition to electric cars.

      Rising oil prices and improvements in battery technology are
fueling new interest in developing electric cars. It is so much for
very cheap, fuel efficient cars. Electric car is the other end of the
technology spectrum.

       With those opportunities, SPARKE F wants to be the leader of
electric car market in Thailand. With a luxurious design of SPARKE
F, we also want to enter into the luxury car market in Thailand and
gain some market share.
To do this, SPARKE F has come up with a campaign to
introduce the electric car to our target groups. The campaign
includes:
      - 4 prints ads
      - 2 TVCs
      - 2 Radio spots

       We also aim to create awareness and increase sales of our
electric car by using Integrate Marketing Communication (IMC) and
Public Relations (PR).

  •   Bad brand reputation from previous models


  2. Eco-friendly cars

     Because we will also be focusing on selling the eco-friendly
promise of Sparke F and establish Sparke F in the eco-friendly car
market, we must also consider other types of eco-friendly car as our
primary competitors.

Hybrid
Advantages
  • Hybrids combine clean energy of the electrical motor with the
     power of the gas-powered engine, which results into lower
     emissions and better mileage.
  • The advantage of the hybrid car is that it can rectify the
     complaints in the both systems and balances the use of
     electrical energy and gasoline engine, in their optimum levels.
  • Hybrid Cars Saves Gas/fuel
  • Thanks to the ever-improving technology, hybrids perform at
     par with the normal gas-powered vehicles, if not better.
  • The future for hybrids looks bright with rapid developments in
     hybrid technology to improve engine efficiency.
  • Due to the Regenerative Braking technology, the batteries
     need not be charged by an external source.

Disadvantages
   • High cost
   • More weight due to battery packs.
   • They have a complicated system, which needs to be taken
     care of by experienced mechanics only.
   • Spare parts maybe hard to find and may be costly.
   • Usually, hybrids have a lower acceleration than that their
     normal counterparts


Toyota Prius
  • The world’s first and number-one selling hybrid car.
  • From its first debut in 1997, more than one million cars were
     sold.
  • Toyota is a one of the world’s most established and strongest
     brand.
•   Many Toyota users are accustomed to systems and functions
      in the brand’s car.
  •   Users friendly
  •   EV Drive Mode can reduce noise and emission from
      combustion
  •   The world’s first solar cell energy driven interior air
      circulation.
  •   Price in Thailand is estimated at 850,000 baht.


Lexus GS 450 H
  • The world’s first rear-drive full-hybrid vehicle
  • Powerful acceleration
  • Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) rating


Alphard
   • Luxury MPV
   • Spacey, comfortable
   • Toyota is a one of the world’s most established and strongest
     brand.
   • Many Toyota users are accustomed to systems and functions
     in the brand’s car.
   • Seven- or eight-seater with new technology, memory seat
   • "by-wire" technology that monitors brake pedal pressure and
     vehicle speed in order to calculate the optimum hydraulic
     pressure.


Hydrogen
Advantages
  • hydrogen is the simplest and most abundant of all chemical
     elements
  • no smog-forming exhaust gases
  • no carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming
  • no worries about diminishing oil supplies and rising prices
  • Unlike batteries, which store electricity, fuel cells make
     electricity as they go
  • Greater efficiency. The same amount of hydrogen will take a
     fuel cell car at least twice as far as one with a converted
     internal combustion engine
  • The benefit of hydrogen is that it will always be a "domestic
     resource" since it can be made with a variety of feedstocks,
     including water and methane, and local energy sources
     including renewables, such as wind, hydro, biogas and solar.
Disadvantages
   • Difficult to store  dangerous
   • Highly flammable
   • The hydrogen must be packed tightly into a car’s tank;
     otherwise a filling stop will be needed every few kilometres.
   • Large amounts of energy are needed to strongly compress the
     hydrogen, or liquefy it
   • Tanks designed to hold hydrogen at extremely high pressures,
     or at temperatures approaching absolute zero, are heavy and
     expensive
   • Extremely expensive
   • Significant questions remain about fuel cells’ reliability,
     durability, and performance under various conditions
SWOT Analysis:


                         Strengths
     •   Pure electric car
     •   Eco-friendly: no tailpipe emissions
     •   Distinct elegantly design
     •   High performance engine
     •   Completely independent on oil
     •   Can be recharged with common household electricity
     •   Fully charged in only 45 minutes
     •   Non-hazardous and recyclable batteries
     •   Cheaper to operate than normal fuel consumption or
         hybrid cars with the same, or even better, acceleration
         power
     •   Built in a host of safeguards against theft and
         unauthorized use
     •   100% torque, 100% of the time (peak torque begins at
         0 rpm and stays powerful at 14,000 rpm)
     •   First electric car in Thailand
     •   Seats seven people




                      Weaknesses
     •   Need more time to recharge the battery for the car
         compared to normal fuel consumption cars
     •   Lack of knowledge about electric engines in consumers
     •   Special care from experienced mechanics is needed for
         maintenance
     •   Spare parts maybe hard to find and may be costly
     •   New brand in the Thai market, still unknown
     •   Limited number of service centers
Opportunities
•   Increase in the eco-friendly trends and movements
•   The unstable oil price
•   The limited amount of non-renewable resources
•   The increase in the availability of electricity
•   Electricity can be produced through many renewable
    energy sources such as bio-waste, wind and water

•   No direct competition in the Thai market
•   Target group has become more interested about their
    self-image
•   Government support




                      Threats
•   Famous brands such as Toyota and Camry are
    introducing electric cars under their own brands in
    recent future
•   The increase in popularity of hybrid cars in the car
    market
•   Thai people’s view on fuel consumption car as a more
    reliable car
•   Due to traffic and lack of parking spots, people are now
    using the public transportation more

       Questions                                 Answers

- Why Sparke F?                      We tried to come up with a
                                     succinct and catchy name that
                                     expresses the unique
                                     characteristic of the car which is
                                     “pure electric.” However, if it
                                     were Bolt or Volt, Thai people
                                     will have difficulties pronouncing
it and that can hurt the
                                 perception and image of the
                                 brand psychologically. Finally,
                                 the Board had agreed on Sparke
                                 F. The name can be pronounced
                                 easily by Thais and contains
                                 vivid image of powerful electric
                                 while F stands for three best
                                 personalities of the model; fast,
                                 fierce and free – which become
                                 our slogan.

- Why “electrify your journey”? The word “journey” is regarded
                                as long distance drive. However,
                                in this context, we do not think
                                of a journey as a drive but as a
                                human life. Sparke F will power
                                up and boost up your life
                                whenever and wherever you
                                want and make you live
                                pleasurable as a leader for years
                                to come – because Sparke F has
                                longest drive range compared to
                                the car up to date, and more
                                importantly, is not dependable
                                on specific

- How is the Sparke F different from other electric vehicles?

                                 The Sparke F shines in the very
                                 areas that previous electric cars
                                 fell short – design, performance,
                                 and efficiency. It is beautiful to
                                 look at, as fast or faster than
                                 most combustion engine cars,
                                 and has vastly improved driving
                                 range than previous EVs. In
                                 addition, previous generation
                                 electric cars were tethered to
                                 their charging stations. One
                                 could only drive so far before
                                 having to return to a charging
                                 station for a re-charge. The
                                 Sparke F also carries a charging
                                 unit on-board, and provides the
                                 flexibility of pulling electricity
                                 from a number of power sources
with the optional Mobile
                                 Connector.

- How fast is it?                Zero to 60 mph in less than 4
                                 seconds with a top speed of 125
                                 mph. But this is not the whole
                                 story. Because it has no clutch
                                 pedal and a very wide, flat
                                 torque curve, the acceleration of
                                 the Sparke F is much more
                                 available to enjoy: just step on
                                 the accelerator and go.

- How long does it take to recharge?

                                 That depends on how far the
                                 battery has been discharged and
                                 what source is being used to
                                 charge the batteries. A full
                                 charge using the High Power
                                 Connector can be achieved in as
                                 little as 3.5 hours.

                                 Ideally you plug the car in when
                                 you get home, and unplug it
                                 when you drive away in the
                                 morning. The High Power
                                 Connector has been designed for
                                 use as the primary source for
                                 recharging the Roadster battery
                                 at home.

- What are the benefits of driving an electric car?

                                 Electric vehicles (EVs) do not
                                 have an internal combustion
                                 engine. The batteries are
                                 recharged from the electric

                                 home electric system. Hybrid
                                 vehicles have both an electric
                                 motor and an internal
                                 combustion engine. In most
                                 systems the internal combustion
                                 engine is used to recharge the
                                 batteries as well as power the
                                 car directly when necessary, but
                                 the only way you get energy
into the car is to put gas into
                                   the gas tank. Therefore hybrids,
                                   while more efficient than
                                   standard cars, still use
                                   petroleum products and at the
                                   current time none on the market
                                   can use energy from the power
                                   grid or "plug in."

- Is the EV a more environmentally friendly transportation
  solution?

                                   Yes. EVs are the most efficient
                                   cars on the road. This means
                                   they cost less per mile to drive,
                                   use less fuel per mile, and
                                   produce less pollution per mile.

- What's the difference between an EV and a hybrid?

                                   There are many: reduced
                                   dependence on foreign oil, zero
                                   emissions, and a cost of less
                                   than two cents per mile driven.

Media plan

Media Strategies:

      In order to deliver on the objectives, we have first set the
reach and frequency objectives as followed.
   • Reach objective: plan to reach at least 80% of the prospect
      groups
   • Frequency objective: do the high-frequency strategies

Rationale: high-frequency strategy work most effectively with the
advertising/communication objectives that are
         - Create awareness and excitement of new product/event
         - Build image of the product
         - Maintain awareness
         - Generate sales leads and motivate the target groups to
            look for information
         - Suitable for high involvement product


Target Strategy:

       For the target audience strategies, we firstly consider the
target reach of the program and select the media by looking at
target information such as: media use, geography, and
consumption patterns. The information brings us to the most price
effective strategies to implement with right target audience, at the
right time and place.

   •   Geographic strategy: As our prospects are those between
       B-A class, we decide to do the heavy-up schedule in the
       special regions/cities (big and business cities).
   •   Media usage strategy: We plan to use the distribution
       strategy, meaning that we would like to use several media
       base on the implementing of our IMC tools: print media,
       electronic media, interactive media, and out of home.
   •   Timing Strategy:
       Print media – magazines: continuous strategy
                    – newspapers: pulsing strategy
       Electronic media – TVC and radio spot: pulsing strategy
       Interactive media – internet: continuous strategy
       Out of home – Billboard and BTS: continuous strategy

       Rationale: 1. Continuous strategy is used to create awareness
                and maintain awareness.
2. Pulsing strategy is used to
                  * peak  intensify public awareness and
               excitement about Sparke F before its launch at
               Bangkok Motor Show
                  * valley  maintain awareness without being so
               intrusive that the ad can reduce the effectiveness of
               the advertising (wear out)


Rationale:

Working habit

       Because our target group is young executive who normally
watch and read news in the early morning to update current affairs
before they go to work and have time to relax after dinner until late
night. Therefore, we chose vehicles and media that suit with their
interests and time. This working habit also allows us to reach them
most effectively on radio channels during driving time; 7 a.m. – 9
a.m. and 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. Furthermore, when the audience is in
traffic, it is the time that he/she will think about car most. Driving
back and forth workplace also is impossible to ignore Out-of-Home
media such as billboards.

      The reasons why we focus on Sunday newspapers are that
many of the business persons have Sunday off and Sunday
newspapers tend to have lighter editorial articles such as lifestyles.
Thus, the readers spend more time with the papers as well as
advertisements. The relaxing mood also makes them more
receptive to the ads.


Transit Media

      We chose BTS because BTS is also a pure electric vehicle
similar to Sparke F. The wrap will parody this common characteristic
by showing that our car is 20 times faster. Furthermore, the BTS is
one of the main mass transportation in Bangkok with large number
of users everyday. It also goes to many public places in the heart of
Bangkok such as Thonglor, Sukhumvit and Silom. They are business
areas where not only our target but also many people spend their
time. Therefore, we can build the desired image to the mass.
Lifestyle

     Most men in our target group are interested in automobiles,
gadgets, sports and night lives, so we decided to reach them
through various vehicles which share the same audience as us.

       Moreover, our prospects are prone to have long surfing time
in the Internet and use interactive function. Since the Internet is a
fragmented medium and has very low cost, we can reach the target
directly at a very low price. For example, car webboards.


Why magazines?

       Even though we use pulsing strategy on many media such as
TV and newspaper, our media plan has continuous strategy on
magazines. Magazine has many benefits. Its editorial content lends
the brand credibility. Most of car magazines have review section for
new cars and opinions and comments of these opinion leaders will
pose much influence upon readers, much more than advertisements
that are perceived as biased. These readers will then share their
attitudes with friends and families. In addition, since magazine has
long life span, every time an audience reads the magazine, he/she
will see the ad again.

Sparke F

  • 1. Creative Brief Sparke F Submit to James R. Haft Faculty of Communication Arts, Chulalongkorn University By Vinita Kasemsupapun 504 53643 28 Sarintorn Puangyoykaew 504 54666 28 Orakarn Chantaramungkorn 504 53769 28
  • 2. Creative Brief Marketing Background: *Market Place: SPARKE F is a new launching electric car in Thailand. It will position at the 1st place in electric car market. As there is no electric car in Thailand, SPARKE F is the market leader with no competitor. At present, the earth is facing environmental problems as a result of economic development which ignores environmental development. The increase in the number of vehicles has led to an increase of gasoline usage resulting in both noise and air pollution. In addition, the oil price has also increased recently. Due to the rising cost of fuel and the environmental damage it causes to our world, many car owners or buyers are looking for an alternative way to save money. Fuel supply is finite and the price of gas is only going to rise higher and higher. The oil prices will rise going forward, probably in a range around the 30% per year. That is where an electric car has its advantages. International study shows global gains in consideration electric vehicles. Worldwide, 45% of all motorists reported that increasing fuel prices have forced them to change their driving behavior to lower their fuel consumption. Environmental considerations and increasing fuel prices were equally important motivators. It is know that eventually electrics will take over. In the end, all vehicles will be electric because petroleum will be too scarce and bio-fuels cannot be scaled with foreseeable technology to substitute very much. The auto industry can no longer rely almost exclusively on oil to supply the world's automotive energy requirements. So it is really the timing of the transition to electric cars. Rising oil prices and improvements in battery technology are fueling new interest in developing electric cars. It is so much for very cheap, fuel efficient cars. Electric car is the other end of the technology spectrum. With those opportunities, SPARKE F wants to be the leader of electric car market in Thailand. With a luxurious design of SPARKE F, we also want to enter into the luxury car market in Thailand and gain some market share.
  • 3. To do this, SPARKE F has come up with a campaign to introduce the electric car to our target groups. The campaign includes: - 4 prints ads - 2 TVCs - 2 Radio spots We also aim to create awareness and increase sales of our electric car by using Integrate Marketing Communication (IMC) and Public Relations (PR). Competitive Frame: Being the first electric car in Thailand, Sparke F, therefore, does not have any direct competitors. However, it does have competitors that share the same target group as itself. We will, therefore, consider these products as our primary competitors. Primary Competitors • Cars that have the same price range as Sparke F o Lexus is250 o Mercedes Benz C200 o BMW series 320 D o Audi A4 • Eco-friendly cars o Hybrid  Toyota Prius  Lexus 450 D  Alphard o Hydrogen Indirect Competitors • Public transportation o BTS o MRT o Taxi o Buses
  • 4. Electronic appliance BTS Investments Toyota Prius BMW series 320D Housing Travel Lexus No direct Audi A4 Buses is250 Taxi competition Alphard Hydrogen Mercedes Benz C200 Lexus 450D MRT Luxurious clothing A: Because Sparke F is the first electric car in Thailand; it does not have any direct competitors yet B: Primary Competitors- cars with similar price range as Sparke F C: Primary Competitors- eco-friendly cars including hybrid and hydrogen cars D: Indirect Competitors- public transportation including BTS, MRT, Buses and Taxi E: Share of wallet- consumers may choose spend their money on these activities, rather than spending it on our product category Primary Competitors 1. Cars with the same price range as Sparke F Lexus is250 • Price: 2,990,000 • Impressive interior and exterior design • Superior technology when compare to its price and competitors • Advanced engine- produces less pollution
  • 5. Lexus is supported by its mother brand, Toyota, which is one of the leading car brands in Thailand • Small in size • Very few motor options and additional features • Expensive compare to its features and competitors Mercedes Benz C200 • Price: 3,590,000 • One of the leading cars in terms of safety for drivers and passengers • Small but powerful engine • Classic interior and exterior design • Mercedes is o The leading car brand in the Europian car market in Thailand o Considered as the most reliable and safe car out there • Expensive • Car parts are assembled in Thailand • Focus on selling the Mercedes Benz brand, not the product itself • Expensive after service costs BMW series 320 D • Price: 3,300,000 • High performance • Big interior space • Good handling • Sleek design, interior and exterior • Reliable maintenance and service with warranty • BMW is the number 2 largest European car market share in Thailand • High maintenance cost • Engine is not as powerful as its competitors • Heavy and slow when compared to its competitors Audi A4 • Price: 3,290,000 • High performance engine- won the best engine award for the past three executive years • The whole car is imported, not in parts • With the whole car being imported, consumers belief that it will have a better performance than cars from other brands that are assembled in Thai factory
  • 6. No official dealer in Thailand, customers can only make purchase at dealers that import the brand • Not a popular brand in the Thai market • Lack of spare parts available for maintenance • Must be imported therefore can be very expensive and time- consuming • Bad brand reputation from previous models 2. Eco-friendly cars Because we will also be focusing on selling the eco-friendly promise of Sparke F and establish Sparke F in the eco-friendly car market, we must also consider other types of eco-friendly car as our primary competitors. Hybrid Advantages • Hybrids combine clean energy of the electrical motor with the power of the gas-powered engine, which results into lower emissions and better mileage. • The advantage of the hybrid car is that it can rectify the complaints in the both systems and balances the use of electrical energy and gasoline engine, in their optimum levels. • Hybrid Cars Saves Gas/fuel • Thanks to the ever-improving technology, hybrids perform at par with the normal gas-powered vehicles, if not better. • The future for hybrids looks bright with rapid developments in hybrid technology to improve engine efficiency. • Due to the Regenerative Braking technology, the batteries need not be charged by an external source. Disadvantages • High cost • More weight due to battery packs. • They have a complicated system, which needs to be taken care of by experienced mechanics only. • Spare parts maybe hard to find and may be costly. • Usually, hybrids have a lower acceleration than that their normal counterparts Toyota Prius • The world’s first and number-one selling hybrid car. • From its first debut in 1997, more than one million cars were sold. • Toyota is a one of the world’s most established and strongest brand.
  • 7. Many Toyota users are accustomed to systems and functions in the brand’s car. • Users friendly • EV Drive Mode can reduce noise and emission from combustion • The world’s first solar cell energy driven interior air circulation. • Price in Thailand is estimated at 850,000 baht. Lexus GS 450 H • The world’s first rear-drive full-hybrid vehicle • Powerful acceleration • Super Ultra-Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) rating Alphard • Luxury MPV • Spacey, comfortable • Toyota is a one of the world’s most established and strongest brand. • Many Toyota users are accustomed to systems and functions in the brand’s car. • Seven- or eight-seater with new technology, memory seat • "by-wire" technology that monitors brake pedal pressure and vehicle speed in order to calculate the optimum hydraulic pressure. Hydrogen Advantages • hydrogen is the simplest and most abundant of all chemical elements • no smog-forming exhaust gases • no carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming • no worries about diminishing oil supplies and rising prices • Unlike batteries, which store electricity, fuel cells make electricity as they go • Greater efficiency. The same amount of hydrogen will take a fuel cell car at least twice as far as one with a converted internal combustion engine • The benefit of hydrogen is that it will always be a "domestic resource" since it can be made with a variety of feedstocks, including water and methane, and local energy sources including renewables, such as wind, hydro, biogas and solar.
  • 8. Disadvantages • Difficult to store  dangerous • Highly flammable • The hydrogen must be packed tightly into a car’s tank; otherwise a filling stop will be needed every few kilometres. • Large amounts of energy are needed to strongly compress the hydrogen, or liquefy it • Tanks designed to hold hydrogen at extremely high pressures, or at temperatures approaching absolute zero, are heavy and expensive • Extremely expensive • Significant questions remain about fuel cells’ reliability, durability, and performance under various conditions
  • 9. SWOT Analysis: Strengths • Pure electric car • Eco-friendly: no tailpipe emissions • Distinct elegantly design • High performance engine • Completely independent on oil • Can be recharged with common household electricity • Fully charged in only 45 minutes • Non-hazardous and recyclable batteries • Cheaper to operate than normal fuel consumption or hybrid cars with the same, or even better, acceleration power • Built in a host of safeguards against theft and unauthorized use • 100% torque, 100% of the time (peak torque begins at 0 rpm and stays powerful at 14,000 rpm) • First electric car in Thailand • Seats seven people Weaknesses • Need more time to recharge the battery for the car compared to normal fuel consumption cars • Lack of knowledge about electric engines in consumers • Special care from experienced mechanics is needed for maintenance • Spare parts maybe hard to find and may be costly • New brand in the Thai market, still unknown • Limited number of service centers
  • 10. Opportunities • Increase in the eco-friendly trends and movements • The unstable oil price • The limited amount of non-renewable resources • The increase in the availability of electricity • Electricity can be produced through many renewable energy sources such as bio-waste, wind and water • Open market for electric car • No direct competition in the Thai market • Target group has become more interested about their self-image • Government support Threats • Famous brands such as Toyota and Camry are introducing electric cars under their own brands in recent future • The increase in popularity of hybrid cars in the car market • Thai people’s view on fuel consumption car as a more reliable car • Due to traffic and lack of parking spots, people are now using the public transportation more • Improved public transport • Economic recession • Political issue
  • 11. Product: • Product name: Sparke F • Slogan: Fast. Fierce. Free • Tagline: Electrify your journey • Price: 3,200,000 Product features: Performance Specifications* Style 5 seats, white exterior design Single speed fixed gear with electrically actuated Drivetrain parking lock mechanism and mechanical lubrication pump 375 volt AC induction air-cooled electric motor with variable frequency drive.

We tried to come up with a succinct and catchy name that expresses the unique characteristic of the car which is “pure electric.” However, if it were Bolt or Volt, Thai people will have difficulties pronouncing
  • 12. it and that can hurt the perception and image of the brand psychologically. Finally, the Board had agreed on Sparke F. The name can be pronounced easily by Thais and contains vivid image of powerful electric while F stands for three best personalities of the model; fast, fierce and free – which become our slogan. - Why “electrify your journey”? The word “journey” is regarded as long distance drive. However, in this context, we do not think of a journey as a drive but as a human life. Sparke F will power up and boost up your life whenever and wherever you want and make you live pleasurable as a leader for years to come – because Sparke F has longest drive range compared to the car up to date, and more importantly, is not dependable on specific - How is the Sparke F different from other electric vehicles? The Sparke F shines in the very areas that previous electric cars fell short – design, performance, and efficiency. It is beautiful to look at, as fast or faster than most combustion engine cars, and has vastly improved driving range than previous EVs. In addition, previous generation electric cars were tethered to their charging stations. One could only drive so far before having to return to a charging station for a re-charge. The Sparke F also carries a charging unit on-board, and provides the flexibility of pulling electricity from a number of power sources

Because it has no clutch pedal and a very wide, flat torque curve, the acceleration of the Sparke F is much more available to enjoy: just step on the accelerator and go. - How long does it take to recharge? That depends on how far the battery has been discharged and what source is being used to charge the batteries. A full charge using the High Power Connector can be achieved in as little as 3.5 hours. Ideally you plug the car in when you get home, and unplug it when you drive away in the morning. The High Power Connector has been designed for use as the primary source for recharging the Roadster battery at home. - What are the benefits of driving an electric car? Electric vehicles (EVs) do not have an internal combustion engine. The batteries are recharged from the electric power grid, for example your home electric system. Hybrid vehicles have both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. In most systems the internal combustion engine is used to recharge the batteries as well as power the car directly when necessary, but the only way you get energy

Therefore hybrids, while more efficient than standard cars, still use petroleum products and at the current time none on the market can use energy from the power grid or "plug in." - Is the EV a more environmentally friendly transportation solution? Yes. EVs are the most efficient cars on the road. This means they cost less per mile to drive, use less fuel per mile, and produce less pollution per mile. - What's the difference between an EV and a hybrid? There are many: reduced dependence on foreign oil, zero emissions, and a cost of less than two cents per mile driven.

  • 28. Media plan Media Strategies: In order to deliver on the objectives, we have first set the reach and frequency objectives as followed. • Reach objective: plan to reach at least 80% of the prospect groups • Frequency objective: do the high-frequency strategies Rationale: high-frequency strategy work most effectively with the advertising/communication objectives that are - Create awareness and excitement of new product/event - Build image of the product - Maintain awareness - Generate sales leads and motivate the target groups to look for information - Suitable for high involvement product Target Strategy: For the target audience strategies, we firstly consider the target reach of the program and select the media by looking at target information such as: media use, geography, and consumption patterns. The information brings us to the most price effective strategies to implement with right target audience, at the right time and place. • Geographic strategy: As our prospects are those between B-A class, we decide to do the heavy-up schedule in the special regions/cities (big and business cities). • Media usage strategy: We plan to use the distribution strategy, meaning that we would like to use several media base on the implementing of our IMC tools: print media, electronic media, interactive media, and out of home. • Timing Strategy: Print media – magazines: continuous strategy – newspapers: pulsing strategy Electronic media – TVC and radio spot: pulsing strategy Interactive media – internet: continuous strategy Out of home – Billboard and BTS: continuous strategy Rationale: 1. Continuous strategy is used to create awareness and maintain awareness.
  • 29. 2. Pulsing strategy is used to * peak  intensify public awareness and excitement about Sparke F before its launch at Bangkok Motor Show * valley  maintain awareness without being so intrusive that the ad can reduce the effectiveness of the advertising (wear out) Rationale: Working habit Because our target group is young executive who normally watch and read news in the early morning to update current affairs before they go to work and have time to relax after dinner until late night. Therefore, we chose vehicles and media that suit with their interests and time. This working habit also allows us to reach them most effectively on radio channels during driving time; 7 a.m. – 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. Furthermore, when the audience is in traffic, it is the time that he/she will think about car most. Driving back and forth workplace also is impossible to ignore Out-of-Home media such as billboards. The reasons why we focus on Sunday newspapers are that many of the business persons have Sunday off and Sunday newspapers tend to have lighter editorial articles such as lifestyles. Thus, the readers spend more time with the papers as well as advertisements. The relaxing mood also makes them more receptive to the ads. Transit Media We chose BTS because BTS is also a pure electric vehicle similar to Sparke F. The wrap will parody this common characteristic by showing that our car is 20 times faster. Furthermore, the BTS is one of the main mass transportation in Bangkok with large number of users everyday. It also goes to many public places in the heart of Bangkok such as Thonglor, Sukhumvit and Silom. They are business areas where not only our target but also many people spend their time. Therefore, we can build the desired image to the mass.
  • 30. Lifestyle Most men in our target group are interested in automobiles, gadgets, sports and night lives, so we decided to reach them through various vehicles which share the same audience as us. Moreover, our prospects are prone to have long surfing time in the Internet and use interactive function. Since the Internet is a fragmented medium and has very low cost, we can reach the target directly at a very low price. For example, car webboards. Why magazines? Even though we use pulsing strategy on many media such as TV and newspaper, our media plan has continuous strategy on magazines. Magazine has many benefits. Its editorial content lends the brand credibility. Most of car magazines have review section for new cars and opinions and comments of these opinion leaders will pose much influence upon readers, much more than advertisements that are perceived as biased. These readers will then share their attitudes with friends and families. In addition, since magazine has long life span, every time an audience reads the magazine, he/she will see the ad again.
