Campaign headlines should be used sparingly and are only appropriate for core pieces such as New Business or Core Loyalty if space and context permits. It is important that the copy is wellwritten and still clearly conveys the functional message to the guest. A Functional Headline, CTA or tagline must accompany a Campaign Headline, either on the same billboard panel or on the mail panel. It is suggested that campaign headlines be approved by Corporate Brand, the AOR and the senior marketing leader at the property. Campaign Headline

COPY Message Hierarchy CLARITY Direct response copy must be clear, concise and easy to understand. Most importantly, it must guide the reader through the communication. To do that, establish a message hierarchy and structure supported by font size, font color and division of information. 1) Lead with the most appealing benefit/offer in the headline. This should be the most prominent copy on the page and entice the customer to read further. In some cases, a short subhead can be added to the headline to simplify the initial message.

2) Group secondary information/benefits into logical sections. Select a succinct, interesting subhead for each section, then follow with brief, descriptive copy that explains the benefit.

DOs checklist: DO: Use a single headline. DO: Use at most two fonts.

3) Close with prominent Call to Action (CTA). Dates, phone numbers, URLs and other response information should be clearly visible. Font size and boldness should be at least as prominent as section subheads.

DO: Use at most three subheads.

Refer to Layout, Copy, Font & Color in the Art section for guidance.

DO: Use all caps or bolding only to highlight a single

DO: Use same font size and color for all subheads. DO: Make sure headline, offer and CTA are the dominant messages. DO: Use same font size and color for all supporting copy.

째 째

hen the communication is scanned, is the message easy W to understand? Does the copy have a clear, logical progression? Is it obvious what the prospect is being asked to do?

DO: Use visual separators such as the Laurel Divider.

DO NOT: Communicate multiple messages without establishing a hierarchy.

DIRECT MARKETING CREATIVE STANDARDS

COPY Communicating Multiple Programs or Messages ORGANIZATION Multiple programs, tournaments or offers must be organized so as not to confuse or overwhelm the reader. 1) Determine whether a single theme unifies the content. For example, if a communication contains three distinct promotions that all occur in a single weekend, the weekend is the theme. To determine a unifying message, consider: 째 째 째

Dates or holidays Types of games Types of prizes

2) If there is a unifying theme, use that umbrella message as the lead-in to the individual promotions or offers. Prioritize the individual promotions or offers, then develop proportional headlines and subheads. More space and information should be devoted to higher priorities.

DO: Use one theme (example: Memorial Day) to lead the customer into the piece.

3) If there is no unifying theme, focus on the format of the direct mail piece. Choose a format that supports multiple messages, such as separate panels. Prioritize the individual promotions or offers, then develop proportional headlines and subheads. More space should be given to higher priorities (i.e., two panels vs. one panel). If the programs or offers are of equal weight, provide equal space (i.e., one panel per promotion).

DO NOT: Give all of the tournaments an equal voice on the front cover.

DOs checklist:

2) Maintain consistency in font and color. Each panel or spread should use a maximum of two fonts. Subhead colors should complement the color(s) used for main headlines or CTAs. Use all caps or bolding sparingly, and only to highlight a single key message.

DO: Use at most two fonts. DO: Use at most three subheads. DO: Use same font size and color for all subheads. DO: Use same font size and color for all supporting copy. DO: Ensure headline and subhead colors are complementary. DO: U se all caps or bolding only to highlight a single key message.

PHOTOGRAPHY Introduction Caesars is all about the experience, and the photography must reflect this in a spectacular nature. Photos should reflect the bold, seductive experience that Caesars provides. To showcase this experience, crop photos to capture a moment in time where you give your audience an insight into the emotion of the scene. Photos should appear as single shots or as a string of shots in custom-designed Frames. Never use photo collages. °

°

° °

se only 300 dpi images imported at a maximum of 110% into U a Frame. All images must be professionally photographed and licensed. Choose photos that are in the color palette. Duotones are allowed in black and gold PMS 125.

Lifestyle photography

° °

Do not stretch or skew photos in any way. Exception for entertainment/entertainer-provided photos: Photos must be produced as approved by entertainer.

The photography guidelines on the following pages will help you to select the best content and quality of images to support this experiential brand.

Lifestyle vs. still life photography Lifestyle photography showcases people engaged in and enjoying activities. Each lifestyle image emotes an experience. It tells a subtle story, which is conveyed through people’s easily recognizable expressions. Lifestyle photography should be used as the main photo option on core DM pieces (NB, loyalty, hotel, etc.) in which we are driving loyalty and therefore most effectively

supporting the brand and the overall experience. Still life photography depicts an inanimate object that is used to represent a theme (bingo balls, pumpkins, etc.), a promotion product and entertainer (DVD player, watches, entertainer photography) or an amenity (property exterior, hotel room, etc). Still life photography should be used on special event/promotion DM pieces that support themed or promotional content. The Caesars brand and campaign are heavily driven by the guest experience, which must be reflected in the balance of lifestyle versus still life photography across the overall marketing stream. The desired ratio should be at least 20% lifestyle photography and at most 80% still life photography within the overall mail stream.

Campaign lifestyle

PHOTOGRAPHY Lifestyle When using lifestyle photography, people should always be represented in ways that show them engaged in the experience. They come to Caesars for bold, larger-than-life endeavors. Every shot should reflect them in a seductive yet upscale environment. Photos should be cropped to eliminate anything extraneous, to best highlight a moment in time where you give your audience an insight into the emotion of the scene. °

o not use the same photo more than once in a single piece, D including on the envelope. Never crop heads off of people. An exception would be a tight shot of table games, when parts of people may appear in the background. Be cognizant of people’s appendages to ensure the final photo is not awkward or cut off at inappropriate points. Never use photo collages. Don’t use transparency/opacity. Don’t use faded borders or shading. Do not use duotones on lifestyle photography. Use illustrations rarely, if ever. If necessary, use only for promotions, and make sure they are in the promotions/ special events palette. Entertainment images — photos must be cropped and produced as approved by entertainer.

Campaign lifestyle photography is available and should be the first option for lifestyle photos. Refer to the Campaign Style Guide for a complete listing of available campaign photography and usage rights.

Avoid images that are predominantly lit using fluorescent lighting, or where people are squinting or have unflattering shadows. Look for images with expressive compositions and dynamic angles. The foreground and background should not have anything superfluous or distracting, or have a negative connotation. If possible select an image where one of the models is making eye contact with the camera. It should not look like a posed photo where all people are looking at the camera; rather, it should capture capturing one person’s emotions in the experience. Images should showcase professional models that reflect the Caesars demographic. Models should be wearing outfits that fit well and are appropriate to the subject or intention of the images. Typically, the style of dress should be sophisticated rather than casual. Use four-color images that complement the color palette. Avoid images where logos appear, unless they are relevant to the DM piece.

PHOTOGRAPHY Still Life

Promotional product and entertainers

Promotional Products and Entertainers Still Life Usage: Whenever images are provided from a promotional sponsor or entertainer, you must use them, and adhere to the image provider’s guidelines for usage and treatment. In most cases, you cannot alter a provided image without permission. In some instances it may be acceptable, as long as the usage is elevated and the brand enhanced. For example, images may be outlined, cropped and dropped into a different background in a way that is consistent with the Caesars brand.

Amenities Still Life Usage: You may use recently photographed amenity/property images from your property. However, you must ensure the image is professionally shot, reflects the premium nature of the Caesars asset, and is an up-to-date depiction of the asset, both in content and style. It is recommended that images more than 3 years old be considered outdated. As an alternative to using an amenity still life image, consider using a lifestyle image or themed still life image. For example, instead of an amenity shot of restaurant, consider a lifestyle photo of people eating or a close-up of representative gourmet food.

Amenities photography

Please note the following: ° Don’t use transparency/opacity. “Ghosted” images are not consistent with the Caesars brand. ° Don’t use faded borders or shading. ° Duotones are allowed in black and gold PMS 125. ° Don’t use a photo as the full background for a piece with copy overlaid. Use the Frames as placeholders for photos. Place copy on either the Treatment or on an area of the photo where there is no “information” (i.e., a shadow or empty wall).

All promotions/special events images should reflect the Caesars indulgent, adventurous spirit. They should not be cartoon-like, low quality or anything else not associated with the Caesars brand. All photography requirements mentioned previously in the Caesars Brand Guidelines still apply for promotions and special events (e.g., no photo collages).

DO: Use imagery that complements Caesars colors.
