Brands, GE, Humana, LG&E, and the Baptist Health System. •  We currently place more media in Kentucky and potential feeder states than any other agency. •  Scoppechio was selected as the agency for Tourism, Arts & Heritage Cabinet and its aﬃliated agencies, including the Kentucky Department of Travel & Tourism, Kentucky State Parks, Kentucky Horse Park, Kentucky Artisan Center, Kentucky Sports Authority and the Kentucky State Fair. •  Since our appointment, Kentucky has experienced unprecedented positive change in reputation, engagement and revenue growth.

3/3/17

KY Tourismâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Fall 2013 https://youtu.be/JF_hqGRhVW0

2014: The Evolution of a Brand OUR FOCUS WAS TWO-FOLD:

•  Immediate attention was given to “refreshing” the Kentucky brand, based on consumer research •  Strategy development—we constructed a long-term strategy that would be fully implemented in 2015 to position Kentucky as a vibrant entertainment destination

3/3/17

102

Consumer Research Research was conducted in two phases

PHASE I: Brand awareness and perceptions •

Focus groups in Chattanooga, Chicago, Columbus, and Indianapolis

PHASE II: Consumer reaction to new creative •

Focus groups in Indianapolis

PARTICIPANT PROFILES: •

Millennial(s) – Ages 18-35; no children

•

GenX(ers) – Ages 36-54; with children (in household)

•

Boomer(s) – Ages 54-69; no children (in household)

3/3/17

103

Research Findings •  Kentucky viewed as a 2-or-3 day getaway, not a vacation destination •  Consumers Looking for unique tourism experiences that will deliver lasting memories •  State viewed as slow-paced & pastoral - Not much action •  Beyond Horses & Bourbon, Kentucky has what other states have. Why visit? •  Once consumers visit Kentucky and discover all the state has to oﬀer, they return •  Iconic imagery (horses, bluegrass rolling fields, bourbon) synonymous with state brand. when viewed individually in advertising, these icons don’t compel consumers to visit the state. However, grouping similar tourism oﬀerings creates greater interest and appeal (the whole is greater than the sum of its parts) •  Aspirational imagery showing youth and activity relate to all age groups

3/3/17

104

Media Plan OUR FOCUS HAS BEEN TARGETED, EFFICIENT, MULTI-PLATFORM STRATEGY EXECUTION AND OPTIMIZATION.

•  Platforms included television, print, radio and more reliance on digital to ensure our messages align with the Customer Journey (i.e., path-to-purchase) in their travel planning and consideration.

BRAND CHARACTER AND TONE OF VOICE

Strategic Tools BRAND PYRAMID The Brand Pyramid is a tool that represents a brand’s reason for being. It identifies the strategic direction determined by internal stakeholders and lays the groundwork for the related brand assets that will be used to communicate the brand’s messaging. The pyramid is based upon the target audience and builds upward to emotive benefits, the brand’s character, the overall essence of the brand and position in the marketplace.
