Our understanding of your challenge

A campaign that achieves our objectives between March (launch) and August,

addressing the following issues:

What the L series stand for in the target consumer’s mind

What role does each handset play (L3/L5/L7)

Choosing a handset to focus on out of the three:

A creative thought and platform to bring the chosen handset

A creative and media response to launch this handset

How does all of this activity relate back to helping the brand create a clear identity and

positioning within the UK

LG Mobile’s current brand performance indicates a need to clarify what the

brand stands for and to tell a clear story relative to competitors

To compete, LG must rectify brand perception issues around style,

functionality, innovation and acceptance

Working with a budget of £3m pounds

Page 4: LG L Integrated Marketing Communications UK Launch Proposal

Creative integrated approach to marketing communications

Effective strategies based on thinking like your target

Based on in depth consumer behaviour understanding

Experienced professionals in different areas of IMC

Out of the box…

Page 5: LG L Integrated Marketing Communications UK Launch Proposal

Our IMC 360° approach

Page 6: LG L Integrated Marketing Communications UK Launch Proposal

Your objectives

This objective is key to the success of LG Mobile: Business

Objective : Sell 400k of the L Range to drive continued listings

in retailers

Sell 400k units of the ‘L’ series phone range between March

and August of 2012

Secondary objectives:

Create a clear identity for the phones within the ‘L’ series,

giving consumers a clear reason to consider the range and a

specific phone within it

Improve perceptions of the LG mobile brand around

performance, quality/value or preference

Page 7: LG L Integrated Marketing Communications UK Launch Proposal

Our objectives

Support you in delivering the target sales, but also…

Create consumer interest and purchase in LG Smart phones that have no real technological edge vs competition

Ensuring we create a platform to grow the market share and position of the brand towards the future

Create differentiation through IMC in a commoditized category

Push and pull

Get the mobile brand to a new position

Page 8: LG L Integrated Marketing Communications UK Launch Proposal

Our insights

Young men (15-19) are more oriented to specs and technical savvy in buying mobiles

Young women (15-19) are more oriented to fashion and social trends

Smartphones are becoming commodities

Little product differentiation: similar specs

Mobile retail stores are saturated

Young women are price conscious and want to spend more money in their looks

Most use pay as you go phones

The most common use is social networking sites.

Almost everyone who has used their smartphone to access the Internet has visited a shopping site.

Younger people use the smartphone for entertainment and communication.

Page 9: LG L Integrated Marketing Communications UK Launch Proposal

Our insights

Phones 4U has by far the youngest profile – perhaps reflecting its price-led image. (Note that the sample size is quite small and so less reliable for than for the others).

Network stores attract younger customers.

Female consumers are more likely to take advice (45%) about technology products.

Under-25s are the major driver of online and mobile sales

Effectively targeting them with marketing campaigns and offers is crucial

Interaction is the new buzz word in this respect

Fashion-themed challenge apps providing an engaging way for brands and retailers to connect with their core audience and raise their brand credentials

Page 10: LG L Integrated Marketing Communications UK Launch Proposal

A picture of our target

More than one in five (22%) under-25s are currently out of work

The rising cost of living and the difficulty for youths to get a toehold on the

property ladder is forcing more youths to remain in the family home

But under-25s are most preoccupied with their appearance, with the

majority believing it is important to look well-dressed and be attractive to

the opposite sex.

Young females are the most fashion-obsessed

Teenage girls from the AB socio-economic group stand are the most avid

fashion purchasers

It is important for one in five 15-24s to win the approval of their peers by

mainly buying clothing that they know their friends/boyfriend/girlfriend will

like

Page 11: LG L Integrated Marketing Communications UK Launch Proposal

A picture of our target

Six in ten young women include New Look within their repertoire of

clothing outlets and its popularity peaks among 15-19s.

Under-25s are devoted shoppers, with six in ten (58%) really enjoying the

clothes shopping experience and four in ten (41%) spending a lot on clothes

(TGI).

Mintel’s research reveals that over six in ten (62%) 15-24s make fashion

purchases at least once a month.

Difference between youths in their teenage years and early twenties:

Teenage are free to buy new garments frivolously as they are yet to take on

the substantial financial burden of living independently

Over 20s spent half (53%) of their income on rent or mortgage repayments and

bills

Page 12: LG L Integrated Marketing Communications UK Launch Proposal

Who are they?

Young women from 15-20

They still live in their parents home

They study school or college

They love fashion shopping

They are price conscious

They love social sharing and interacting

They are from a family ABC1

They want a smartphone but only will use basic: web, SMS, music, video, camera

They can’t buy a high end smartphone

Their parents will buy a phone of a reasonable price

Page 13: LG L Integrated Marketing Communications UK Launch Proposal

Purchasing behaviour of our target

Over a third (36%) view shopping for clothes as an enjoyable social activity to share with friends, rising to four in ten (41%) females and almost half (47%) of teens.

A fifth of teenagers like to buy clothes with their parents because they are willing to pay for items

Retailers need to enhance the experiential element of their retail environment, for example by adding interactive features or by hosting fashion-themed entertainment events exclusively for youths to stimulate sales from these wealthy social shoppers

In-store competitions and fashion-orientated challenges whereby shoppers can win rewards such as discounts or entry into competitions would provide good incentives.

Evolution within bricks-and-mortar stores will help to add excitement to the retail experience. Revolutionary store designs, compelling displays and interactive elements will help to encourage spending from the youth market.

Page 14: LG L Integrated Marketing Communications UK Launch Proposal

Purchasing behaviour of our target

Some 57% of youths prefer to go shopping alone because it is quicker and easier

In today’s hectic society, shoppers want to maximize every spare minute

Retailers need to make the shopping process streamlined and convenient.

‘Tweet mirrors’ in fitting rooms, which capture pictures of customers in different

outfits, and shared with friends via social networking sites, enable these solo

shoppers to get feedback from peers and help them with their purchasing decision.

Young consumers desire a boundary-free shopping experience, the convenience

and flexibility of using a smartphone to make fashion purchases at any time and

almost anywhere.

Skype has become the latest vehicle to be used in the rapidly advancing

multichannel retail technology

Fashion retailers and brands must discover innovative and compelling new ways

to attract their clientele.

Interactive and radical new retail features take the in-store shopping experience to

a new level and are likely to draw in younger shoppers through their novelty factor.

friends…

Brand assessment

Lack of specific targeting

Ads lack USP and don’t reflect style:

• Modern design? Not unique feature

• Large screen? All smartphones have it

Brand wheel is generic

Search ability is low (need SEO)

Promotion is not very attractive (O2 Arena too)

Three handsets: find how we communicate with consumers which one is the one for them

Their Facebook is not very interactive

• Not engaging activities (contest is generic)

• No response to critics

• No dialogue

Page 25: LG L Integrated Marketing Communications UK Launch Proposal

But, this is not bad,

it’s an opportunity to create over blank
