THE CONTENTS01EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Purchasing a car is a big commitment. For most, it is one of the biggest financial commitments of their lives. When Central Edge began studying the psychographics of our consumers, many things became clear. This is a brand loyal generation with high expectations from companies. When it comes to cars, it is not features, colors, or even price that drives them to purchase a car. They believe a company should do more than just provide products or services. They also have an expectation of community involvement. They want to know how that brand is going to benefit them in their everyday lives. Over the past seven months, we conducted extensive research and strategized the most effective way to reach our target market. Central Edge associates spent a day in the life of numerous Multicultural Millennials to walk in their shoes. We crafted Cultural Analysis Maps to help guide us through the campaign and uncovered barriers that were stopping them from purchasing Nissan vehicles. On the following pages, we present the strategies and executions that will be effective in increasing market share among Multicultural Millennials who are 18 - 29 years-old. Our campaign is not grounded in Multicultural Marketing, but it is grounded in being culturally aware. Our campaign will reinforce that Nissan is the most innovative automotive company in the world. Central Edge is confident that we have met all your objectives and exceeded Nissan’s expectations. In short, we have been as innovative as Nissan.

Multicultural Millennials: Nissan:
Nissan Campaign Driving Insight:
THE ANALYSIS02
• As much as they are separated and defined by their culture and heritage. They are joined by their pursuit of being a part of the whole.
• They respect the past, but they look to the future fully confident that they can change it and correct the mistakes of those who went before them. They believe they can change the world.
• When it comes to buying a new car – they want style, features, speed and reliability… but their choice is driven by two factors: money and life-stage. These two factors will assist the consumer in making their final choice.
• They do not trust companies – and they don’t trust the advertising done by most companies.
• Consumers expect companies to pay a price for the right to do business. They want to buy from companies that do more than just make money.
• Nissan does not have a distinctive or clearly defined personality with its prospects.
• Nissan makes the Evoked Set list of most Multicultural Millennials, but it is so near the bottom that if they find a good deal on a higher ranking competitor – they never even look at a Nissan.
• Nissan really is an innovative company…that is not just advertising lingo (although our prospects don’t really understand what Nissan means by Innovation, and they aren’t really sure why they should care).
• Nissan is a company that pays back on a global basis - although our prospects view “paying back” as a more localized response.
• Nissan really does have a reason why it does what it does – beyond just making money. Their mission and vision is defined as “enriching people’s lives.”
While we gathered and analyzed information, we discovered several key truths about Multicultural Millennials and Nissan. These key findings drove the Central Edge response to the problems and opportunities identified in this challenge as well as our overall campaign strategy. Ultimately, these key truths led to the insights that drove this campaign.
“Everything we do, we do because we believe in innovation. We believe in building cars that are unique and deliver superior value. The way we challenge the status quo is by building quality vehicles that are more efficient, more beautiful, and more innovative than ever. We believe all companies should be good citizens in the global community, and to that end, we focus on and contribute to humanitarian aid, support education, and care for the environment. We just happen to make great vehicles.”
Understanding Multicultural Millennials and Nissan.
We executed six different types of research to understand and gain insight into the lifestyle of Multicultural Millennials

Multicultural Millennial MindsetDistinguished by their culture and family heritage, Multicultural Millennials are also diverse and empowered by their uniqueness and traditions. Unified, they are the future. They are
a part of the first generation of true digital natives. Multicultural Millennials are born into a global culture and defined by unifying, not distinguishing attitudes.
THE INSIGHTS07
{ { {
} } }
THE TARGET08All multicultural segments are unique, and in many ways, that uniqueness influences their shopping and buying habits, but when it comes to buying new cars – our research confirms that their buying habits are minimally influenced by cultural heritage – it is driven instead by their life stage and economic status, factors which impact virtually all car buyers.
When it comes to buying cars…despite their differences…four factors rise to the top of the influence set for all three segments:
style quality price life stage{ }
These factors separate them into two Primary buying segments and one secondary market
• Lower end of age category• Just finishing school; starting careers• Style and price driven• Feature desirous• First new car purchase• Usually single• Often a family assisted purchase• Competitively confused• Peer influence is high• Family input is important• Probable Nissan Purchase: Versa and Altima
• Older end of age dynamic
• Building career
• Style and feature driven
• Price sensitive
• With a partner – often a family
• Concerned about family and peer impression
• Influence buying decisions• Opinion leaders on purchase choice• Provide financial assistance for some buyers

PARENTSWith younger elements of our target market parents are also a key sub-segment. Frequently Multicultural Millennial parents are important purchase influencers and may also purchase or co-sign for their child’s first car. Central Edge addresses this key public through the development of special sales promotion plans, parent specific marketing materials and selected media placements.
The Third Sub-Segment/Tertiary:
THE COMPETITION09
How to distinguish Nissan from its competition? Our research clearly told us that when our prospects think about car brands and begin the car selection process, they have difficulty separating one car’s features from another…and that they have NO CLEAR perception of NISSAN as a BRAND and assign NO BRAND PERSONALITY to its cars.
The Buying ProcessWhat consumers do first in the buying decision process is recall the perception of a brand. Once they have accessed their evoked set of brands, built on awareness and perception- only then do they begin to contrast features.
How do we expand sales with Multicultural Millennials beyond 25 percent? How do we stand-out from our competitors?
By creating a distinct brand personality and position, not just by creating awareness of features.
Making it into the evoked set is in great part determined by how consumers perceive our brand in comparison with its competitors.
They know our name... but they don’t connect with us. Nissan lacks a strong brand identity or personality.
It’s not about comparing features…it’s about realizing what connects usand what makes us memorable.

Central Edge used the Vehicle Innovation Strategy Framework to define the personalities of Nissan and its competitive set in order to clarify brand personas. We have developed a campaign designed to distinguish and create a distinctive brand personality for Nissan to build stronger and specific brand recall…a true competitive difference. This concept is based on a specialized application of Brand Archetypes and their ability to relate to car buyers.
Our campaign is carefully designed to shift Nissan’s brand perception with Multicultural Millennials from the Fast Follower to the Architectural Revolutionizer. By strategically positioning Nissan’s Innovation and building new relationships with Multicultural Millennials, we will show them that Nissan does much more than make vehicles. They make vehicles to improve their lives and the way they move through the world.
Create a distinct position and bring the brand position to life…
The key to out performing our competition….

It’s all about the brand.…it’s all about what Multicultural Millennials think about the brand.It’s about what happens when the decision to buy a new car is made.
THE DECISION
Why isn’t Nissan at the top of Multicultural Millennials go to list?
• Our prospects tell us they don’t have any perception of
Nissan that makes it stand out from the crowd.
• They tell us increasing features and claims have
blended into a muddle of confusion. They remind us
that once one company has a new feature it is quickly
copied.
• It is true that all we can own is our consumer’s perception
of our brand..
• Our first challenge is to create a distinct personality that
distinguishes Nissan from other brands…an identity with
which our prospects can build a relationship and trust.
Central Edge research made us reconsider what we thought we knew about buying a new car:
• We discovered that Nissan is in the evoked set… but it is near the bottom of that list.
• Our prospects have a difficult time separating advertising for one brand of car from another.
• Prospects are confused about the features offered by one brand compared to another.
• Two factors determine our prospect’s final decision:
11

Desire for style but most important are money and financing options.
Life stage needs…young and single or settling down and starting a family.
{ }
Central Edge looked at biology to understand how we process, understand, and respond to messages. Part of the brain (the Neocortex) is responsible for rational and analytical thought and language. The other two sections are responsible for all of our feelings of loyalty and trust, in addition to human behavior and decision making.
• When we communicate from the Outside-In, we are talking to the neocortex - most car advertising that stresses a list of facts, features, and benefits is delivered there. People exposed to these messages can process complex advertisements, but those messages do not drive behavior.
• Advertising that is Inside-Out talks directly to the part of the brain that controls behavior. Inside-Out advertising is based on an emotional relationship - this is where gut decisions come from - it means breaking through to change perceptions with perceptual impact... if we can communicate to prospects why Nissan is a different company - why they do what they do and how that makes them distinct... that causes consumers to respond through positive behavior.

As the Multicultural Millennial new car buyer goes through the decision process and reaches that final decision point… they will be able to say…
Our goal is not to sell to people who need a new car. Our goal is to sell to people who believe in what we are and why we do what we do.
“I need a new car!”

OBJECTIVES
13Marketing Objectives:• To increase enquiry to sales
conversion rate from 4% to 7%.
• To increase Nissan showroom and online enquiries among Multicultural Millennials to 1,457,914 units.
• To increase Nissan’s share of market with Multicultural Millennials by 13% (15,187 units).
Communication Objective: Our communication objective is to build a distinct and memorable persona among Multicultural Millennials by generating a carefully crafted relationship-oriented brand identity.
Positioning Statement: To Multicultural Millennials Nissan is the automobile company that utilizes technology and innovation not only to make great cars, but to connect people, and their communities while enriching people’s lives and the way they move through the world.
Creative Objective: Our objective is to generate creative that doesn’t add to the existing clutter of car advertising. We will generate a brand personality that reflects the voice and attitude of Multicultural Millennials with ads that lead them to search for information about Nissan and why it is an innovative company that’s working to enrich peoples’ lives.
THE STRATEGY14Multicultural Millennial Americans are very complex. They are tech savvy, unique and know they are the future. Most importantly they don’t like advertising and they don’t trust companies.
In our research it became more evident that, in order to break through and build a lasting relationship with them, we had to do two things:
IN SHORT, we are working to beas Innovative as Nissan.
12
We had to break negative perceptions and create a new perception of Nissan as a car company that does much more than just build vehicles. A perception that we are a company that enriches their lives by contributing to their communities, environment and their world.
We have to move Nissan to the Top of Mulitcultural Millennials evoked set, which ultimately will increase long lasting brand favorability for generations to come.
• In Today’s automotive market, consumers are saturated with different styles, colors and messages. Our campaign strategy does much more than advertise cars to our target. It is carefully designed to forge a new relationship with them. By relating INNOVATION for ALL to their everyday lives.
• From the beginning, Central Edge planners were more than convinced that adding “just another tag line” wouldn’t be successful.
• Plain and simple, it would just confuse them.
• Our campaign is carefully designed to impact and make the Innovation for All theme meaningful to Multicultural Millennials.
• Our campaign executions must reach Millennials wherever they are, whatever they see, whenever they see it.
• We are using a combination of traditional, non-traditional and inventive communications strategies.
Why No Slogan?• Central Edge tested dozens of them…most
seemed trite and expected.
• None of them strengthened the concept of innovation – and we wondered if they would cloud Nissan’s existing use of two strong taglines:
•ShifttheWayYouMove… •InnovationforAll
• Finally, we asked “Would a sub-campaign tucked under the overall Nissan advertising umbrella be too different from its core?” and, most importantly – why diminish the strength of an established campaign; an identifying element that continues to build brand awareness… Why not create a campaign theme that expands and blends for our prospect base?

THE VISION15HOW WE GOT THERE
Central Edge Brand Idea:
Big Idea:
Creative Vision: Creative Executions:
Creative Language Use:
Multicultural Millennials seek to do business with trustworthy companies that contribute to the world by enriching peoples’ lives.
Innovation is more than a tagline - it’s what we do. It’s the driver of how Multicultural Millennials think. Innovation is what they do, and how they choose to spend their money. They want to be a part of companies that do more than make a profit.
• Central Edge creative focuses on giving our prospects a voice.
• Our campaign will assist Nissan in building a dynamic interactive relationship with Millennials, where they can express their thoughts with a company that’s striving to be a leader of innovation.
• We will create an environment where prospects believe in our company and brand because they understand why we do business and how our innovations will enrich their lives.
• Central Edge creative executions are from the point-of-view and in the voice of our prospects. Print and broadcast feature members of our prospect base in moments and situations in their lives. It conveys how their life choices relate to the cars that are a part of their world.
• Campaign executions are designed to be distinct and stand out from other car advertising. Virtually all executions are interactive and are created to utilize distinct and engaging technology.
• Central Edge research confirms that the majority of Multicultural Millennials are English language fluent and may or may-not read and write in their cultural language. However, our research also confirmed that spending some of our budget on Multicultural language specific ad placements made sense. First of all, parents are of significant influence in the decision to purchase a new car among the lower age range of our prospect base. Many of this groups parents are first generation American, utilize native language media and are most influenced by messages in their native language. Thus, most advertising will be placed in English and in English language media, however we will use selected publications and broadcast media to specifically target Hispanic language and Chinese language speaking prospects and their influences.
• Specialized media will include magazines, newspapers, Hispanic language magazines and Hispanic and Chinese language television with language specific out-of-home message placements.

Aurasma is an augmented reality platform created by Autonomy Corporation. Primarily designed for 3G and 4G mobile devices. It uses the device’s video camera to recognize pre-trained images and overlay
an image or video so that the video tracks as the camera is moved.
• Nissan will incorporate Aurasma imaging into all print materials in order to generate totally interactive print. Whether our prospects are reading a magazine, riding on public transit or sitting in a laundromat doing household chores, they will be able to enter the world of Nissan video or gaming.
• Gaming options include Nissan core auto racing, maneuvering tests and create your car engagement opportunities. As the premier of Fast and Furious 7 approaches, there will be an opportunity to participate in a gaming contest to win Fast and Furious Decal Sets.
“Aurasma provides a single platform for bringing static images, brands and advertisements to life with interactive content. It closes the gap between the real and virtual wolrld to deliver dynamic,

• The challenge of public relations – building public relationships – demands that expenditure of PR efforts, time, and monies be focused only on things that bring positive attention to the organization and brand, contribute to fulfilling the organization’s commitments, and help to build public awareness through positive publicity.
• Nissan already has an established three-prong commitment to corporate citizenship involvement through humanitarian aid, education and environmental improvement – all with an on-going link to the corporate mindset of Innovation.
• It is an essential mandate of Central Edge public relations programming that our campaign efforts maintain compatibility with that established focus.
• All public relations efforts will function under the single voice umbrella of the Innovation Generation. All programming efforts will be publicized and implemented through use of the InnovationForAll.com, Facebook page and social media publicity efforts.
• Expand Nissan’s core values of education, environmental awareness, and humanitarian aid to generate awareness of the Innovation Generation as the voice of Nissan Multicultural Millennials.

Under criteria of the Nissan Foundation, local dealership boards will meet twice a year to fund
grant applications from local schools, civic groups and youth organizations that focus on developing
environmentally positive initiatives within the local setting that benefits the needs of Multicultural
Millennial areas.
Funding for the grants will come from Nissan‘s seed funds of $20,000.00 to each of the selected
10 DMAs and through local fund-raising activities by local Nissan dealers.
Applications can be found online at the Innovation Generation website. Grant amounts will range between
$500.00 to $1,500.00 with a maximum of 5 grants funded during each semi-annual meeting.
Grants will fund green activities ranging from developing sustainable green gardens to installation of solar power for
local youth centers.

Those who return their test drive invitation and complete the drive will receive an Innovation T-shirt and a chance to win free textbooks for a semester.
Nissan will partner with All-State Insurance for a limited time promotion which will offer 6-months of free car insurance with purchase of a Nissan core model. The promotion will be available in key DMA markets at select dealerships for a limited time and available for a maximum of 500 vehicle purchases. Costs of the promotional insurance will come from auto sale mark-ups and partnership contributions from the promotional advantages given to All-State.
For younger members of our target market, parents are critical to their car buying process. Central Edge proposes two promotions to maximize the impact of this relationship.
Parents who co-sign for purchase of a new Nissan should receive an annual “skip a payment option” if they finance through a Nissan approved financial institution. The forgiven payment should coincide with heavy expenditure times of year such as the holidays or back-to-school in August or September.
For parents who already own a Nissan and guide their child toward purchasing a Nissan as their first car, we propose a Brand Loyalty Discount which allows a discounted price for the second purchase. The discount should range between 10 – 15% depending on price and features.

Nissan Public Transportation Seat TakeoverCentral Edge will place Nissan vehicle seats in selected DMAs. They will replace regular seats in subways and on public transit. It will give Multicultural Millennials the experience of riding and sitting in a Nissan vehicle. Key DMAs such as NYC, LA, Houston, Miami, San Antonio, Dallas.
Nissan Road GamesNissan will have 2 pathfinders that travel across the country and engage our target in special events such as basketball, soccer and golf tournaments. These pathfinders will be specifically altered to be apart of the tournament, with modifications such as clamp on expandable basketball goals, and trunk soccer goals. The participants will be given Nissan merchandise (i.e soccer balls, basketballs, t-shirts and water bottles). The Road Games will take place as pre-events at scheduled sporting events and randomly visit neighborhoods in key DMAs, including, NYC, Washington D.C., Miami, Atlanta, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Albuquerque, Los Angeles.
To keep consumers aware of the Road Games, they will be streamed live on the InnovationGeneration.com website along with a complete calendar of scheduled events. Promotional advertising will precede visits to target cities.
Digital GraffitiIntroduction of new Nissan models will be celebrated in our key cities with a rolling 3D projection Digital Graffiti Show. The rolling light show will be projected across main buildings in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Houston, and Dallas. The computer augmented showcase of Nissan cars and music will be projected from a rolling van after dark. Production and projection costs are minimal. Projections will be planned for high concentration areas during evening hours.
24THE RELATIONSHIPS
The dealership experience has always been a battle of dealers vs. customers. With new technology, 85% of buyers are doing research online before going to dealerships. Nissan must capitalize on this by creating virtual showrooms online. Virtual Showrooms include:
Central Edge recommends that Nissan initiate a one-year test run of the Innovation Zone at two dealerships in each of our top 5 DMAs. The Innovation Zone will be a section in showrooms that uses technology to engage and empower consumers. It will include:
• Information that will generate trust and transparency such as photos, pricing, product features and inventory, as well as outside links to car reviews by industry leaders.
• Transparent Pricing: Consumers already have access to what a car costs, so dealers with transparent pricing will be seen as responsible.
• Scheduling Appointments: Consumers will feel as though they are setting the terms for dealer interaction.
• Corning Glass Walls: Corning makes tough, sleek touch-screen glass that will allow Nissan to show videos, point-of-purchase ads and information about vehicle options. These walls will be used by consumers and sales associates to virtually browse the dealerships.
• Augmented Reality: Another component of the Innovation Zone is the augmented reality section. Customers will use specialized glasses to view a 3D version of any Nissan model. With assistance of sales associates consumers can customize a vehicle completely from colors to features. This will allow customers to walk around the virtual vehicles and open doors to see inside their personalized car.
• QR Codes: We will place QR codes on vehicles alongside the traditional information sheets. By using the Nissan app or any generic QR reader, consumers will be linked to photos, videos and reviews, and a feature that allows the customer to signal for a sales associate at their convenience.

THE PLAN25
MEDIA OBJECTIVES:
RECOMMENDED MEDIA SELECTION RATIONALE:
MEDIA STRATEGIES:
1. Create positive awareness within the Multicultural Millennial population that Nissan not only makes great vehicles, but also uses technology and innovation to make the world a better place for all.
2. Promote Nissan through local media to our multicultural segments in the areas where they live. 3. Establish a unique brand presence and consumer awareness of Nissan’s role in innovation beyond the automobile industry.
1. To utilize traditional and non-traditional media vehicles that reach our target in their residential and academic spheres, and to deliver messages at times when the target’s information and entertainment aperture is open.
2. To deliver media throughout the year in a pulsing pattern with heavy-ups in preparation for new product introduction and key sales periods - specifically during the third and fourth (September – December) quarters to reinforce awareness of new model introductions.
3. To use added impact, local advertising in densely populated Multicultural Millennial areas - specifically New York City, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Chicago and Miami where the majority of our target market can be found. This includes out-of-home, theatre and special events. • Secondaryhighpopulationmetropolitanareas,suchasAtlanta,Dallas,SanDiego,SanAntonio,willbeimpactedthroughnarrownational and cable ad buys, national publications, and internet advertising.
4. To use an effective blend of magazines, outdoor, transit, spot and cable television, as well as dedicated specific publications and broadcast media to deliver appropriate levels of reach, frequency and impressions to impact the market.
5. To use language specific media to deliver messages to culturally specific programming choices, such as WWE and World Fútball (soccer). These have a high priority viewing for Hispanic and Chinese markets.

THE FOLLOW UP32EVALUATION• Success of Central Edge’s Innovation campaign for Nissan will be measured through the use of ON-GOING CAMPAIGN MONITORING.• The primary challenge for our evaluation is to measure an increase of Multicultural Millennial market share. • This will be measured by tracking the increase in sales for each sub-segment by quarter.• Monthly tracking studies will be done to measure impact of the campaign on the following: • Numberofsalesto18-29year-oldMulticulturalMillennials • Retentionrateofthetargetmarket • BrandawarenessandperceptionofNissan • Perceptionofdealershipexperience
DIGITAL EXPERIENCE• We will track campaign success via Facebook and Twitter Analytics. • Success of these social media vehicles will be measured monthly by employees.• Google Analytics will be used to track the success of our micro-sites.• Perception of digital aspects will be evaluated by surveys before, during, and after the campaign. Surveys will strictly be given to members of the designated
target market.
CAMPAIGN METRICS• Metrics to be evaluated include: • IMAGEMETRICS:theintangibleelementsofbrandidentitythatinclude,Awareness,Recognition,Relevance,Preference,andLoyalty. • IMPACTMETRICSwhichdetermineperformanceandarethemostcriticalelementsindeterminingbrandequity.Theyinclude,MarketShare, Profitability, Price Premium, Perceived Quality, and Brand Associations.• These will be evaluated utilizing online focus groups, real-time surveys, instant feedback, creative testing, consumer brand communities, Social Network analysis,
and MTV Trendwatch partnership.
CAMPAIGN EFFECTIVENESS • The campaign will also be measured against successful attainment of marketing, communications, and creative objectives generated by the campaign.
THE PITCH: The perception may be that Millennials are hard to reach. But are they really?
As a generation that prides themselves on being outspoken, they make it clear what they’re looking for in a company. They’ve told us some things matter more than others, and that they won’t buy what you do until they buy why you do it.
They want companies who believe what they believe and understand their values. What they value goes beyond great products and features. They value the intangibles of life—things like a better world, a sense of purpose, and the endless pursuit of innovation. These are all things Nissan strives to achieve on a daily basis. They just happen to make great vehicles. Millennials need to be reminded that Nissan is an extension of their own thoughts on innovation and the world.
Millennials are changing the way business is done and the reasons products are bought. Thus, traditional ad campaigns aren’t registering. These insights lead us to craft a brand campaign that showcases the relationship between Nissan and Millennials centered around their ideas of innovation. Together, the ideas are limitless and ever-changing, which creates something that will last for generations to come—Innovation…for all.
