CREATIVE BRIEF
strategy BJ’s will build creative executions that center around the idea: Here’s To. The BJ’s story will be told through the concept of the special occasion. Each piece of creative will play a part in sharing the big idea that we hope to develop over time. BJ’s will differentiate its creative by staying relevant. This means producing online videos that tie into an upcoming holiday, a great opportunity to increase its virality. As for social media, BJ’s will continue to post promotions, but we will also want to produce content that demonstrates our passion for helping people celebrate. Because it’s the memories we make as friends, family, and couples that matter, and we believe there’s no place better to do it at than BJ’s.

Media Objectives
Our short term goal is to get new customers into the restaurant. By doing so, we will offer incentives to come celebrate with BJs. Our long term goal is to keep customers coming back, celebration after celebration, year after year, for the food, drinks, atmosphere, and great customer service.
MEDIA STRATEGY
We want to be a strong presence in media around all holidays. We will plan and stagger accordingly, spending more on promoting big holidays and events. Through the advertising, we want potential customers to feel the celebratory atmosphere BJs provides, unlike any other casual dining restaurant. By expanding on this differentiation, we will attract customers who are looking for a fun atmosphere that can be translated to many moods and celebrations, as well as enjoy the excellent food and specialty handcrafted beer. We will target specific local areas surrounding BJs all over the country. Through targeting specific markets within 15 miles of a BJs, we can effectively and efficiently use our budget to get BJs story out to people who have access to a BJs around them.
Strategic approach
media mix Newspaper (LA Times, local, school, university) Magazines (Espn, sports illustrated, Entertainment Weekley) Radio - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Laker game tonight, only place to go is BJsâ&#x20AC;? Partnership with different teams, MLB, NBA Pandora Online- Advertise on Youtube, Hulu, ESPN.com, FSN, Yelp, Urbanspoon Social Media- Promoted Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Pinterest Other: iPhone/Android App
Strategic approach
rational Newspaper
Magazine
Radio
We want to advertise through local newspapers and college papers surrounding the areas in which BJs are located. This will allow for more people in the area to see our advertisments and be exposed to our campaign.
To go along with our Public Relation aspect, we want to have advertisments in magazines that our target market reads. This will allow for exposure in areas of interest of the customers.
Radio is a great place to speak directly with our customers in the area. We want to focus on all the major markets in each area. We can also target by age and music style.

Strategy
objectives By advertising incentives via social media outlets and websites we hope to bring new customers through the BJs door. We hope to engage and interact with customers, talking with them and providing useful information in a celebratory. way..
ONLINE VIDEOS
Ķ 1 T T With the growth of interest in online video, BJs will be advertising using online video ads. Our main priority is to attract our customers while they are enjoying their favorite show or youtube video. To target exactly the person we want to come in, BJs needs to have an impression in the growing online video world.
ONLINE & MOBILE
Pandora With Pandora, we can specifically target our customers through the location service to based on location of the device near a BJs. This will allow for a very niche market to be advertised to, spending money that the customer will see, rather than to people who do not have a BJs near them. We will do banner ads, page takeovers, and audio commercials. 4Square and Yelp Check In To gain exposure on the online restaurante sites, we will offer incentives for checking into BJs. The more people that check in, the more their friends and family will see they went, and will continue to expose BJs on the online medium. Incentive (ie. Spend $25 or more, get a free pizookie)
SOCIAL MEDIA
Day of the month Customers will begin to follow BJs on their social media to stay informed of all the fun days of that month to celebrate. It will be a great way to create conversations and interact with the customer base. Word of the day Give a password--If people come into BJs and say the password, then they get an incentive. People will start following BJs facebook and twitter pages so that they can be informed of the password and give them a reason to go to BJs and use the password.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Like vs. Share Facebook -Create wars through BJs food to pin them against each other -Red Velvet Pizookie vs Triple Chocolate Pizookie -Like post for Red Velvet -Share post for Triple Chocolate Pizookie -It will get people to vote for their favorite food and share/promote it on their social media for their friends to see and vote.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Birthdays on Facebook Give a Pizookie Right now on people Birthdays, you have the option to â&#x20AC;&#x153;give a giftâ&#x20AC;? which usually is a Starbucks or Jamba Juice. This will be great to give to a friend for their birthday. It gets the birthday boy/girl to actually go out and celebrate at BJs. Competition on facebook gifts: Olive Garden gift cards Mrs. Fields

MEASURE SUCCESS
Through active use of social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest, we will track the number of likes, shares, pins, tweets/retweets, and posts, check-ins, and views, and compare them to the previous numbers. Social media pages such as Facebook, allows us to go deeper and measure who we reach demographically, the ages of our consumers, and how they reached our BJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurants page. We will engage our guests by providing an interactive forum for them to communicate with BJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and each other with. Social media will also provide incentives that can be redeemed at our restaurants, providing us with information on brand awareness and use of social media.
MEASURE SUCCESS
We will track our print media, social media, and television media by providing specific codes on each for when guests redeem them at the restaurant. Also, through training the staff to ask all customers about how they learned about BJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurants will set up a tracking system for responses. Through time, consistency, and follow-up, we will get accurate results on how to evaluate the marketing program.
