CAMPAIGN BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY
These days, the environment starts playing a more important role every single day. You can see it in
our daily life, on television and now even in the car industry. However, not a lot of people are
interested in buying an environmental friendly car and the question arises: How can this be changed?
Positioning
Families in the Netherlands see environmental friendly cars as expensive (especially now with the
economical crisis), but also as safe for their children. Since safety is the top priority in the decision
making process, this is an important factor. The target group understands environmental friendly cars
are better for the environment, but do not act to this (detailed information about the target group can
be found in the appendix).
Overview of campaign
For the campaign a pull strategy will be used and we will work according to the A.I.D.A. formula. This
breaks the entire campaign into four different phases with a red line running through it, which is our
core message. The campaign will take over approximately 1 to 1,5 years, but it will take time for
people to undertake action and therefore this campaign must be seen as a starting point. The slogan
that will be used in every one of our advertisements is: Whats your piece? Different kinds of media
will be used, from internet banners and TV commercials to billboard advertisements and direct mail.
Expected outcome
After this campaign, approximately 10% of all families in the Netherlands will be aware of
environmental problems regarding cars CO2 emission and at least 5% will have undertaken action.This can be measured by looking at increases in sales of environmental friendly cars amongst
families, conducting surveys on awareness of environmental issues and cars CO2 emission.

OBJECTIVES
With our campaign we would like to raise awareness amongst families in the Netherlands of the
environmental issues concerning cars CO2 emission. After this campaign, 10% of all families in the
Netherlands should be aware of the environmental problems regarding cars CO2 emission and at
least 5% of them should undertake actions against these issues.
Besides that, there must be an increase in intention to buy environmental friendly cars of
approximately 3% within one year of the start of the campaign.
STRATEGY AND TACTICS
In order to achieve the objectives, we will use a pull strategy. There will be a direct focus on the
consumer with advertisements, commercials and direct mail. The pull strategy requires a lot ofadvertising in order to create a great consumer demand for a product. We want to pull the consumers
to the car dealers to buy an environmental friendly car. Another method that will be put into use is the
A.I.D.A. formula. This means that there will be four different phases in the marketing communication
process; awareness, desire, interest and action.
The target group we are aiming at consists of families living in the Netherlands. We chose this target
group, because children copy parents buying behavior easily and therefore parents can influence their
children in buying environmental friendly cars and living environmentally conscious today and in the
future. In 2006, there were approximately 2,5 million family households in the Netherlands and
450.000 one-parent households. Recent research claims that modern parents feel that safety is one ofthe most important criteria in the buying decision, especially when we are talking about traffic
participation (this is seen as the number one of most dangerous situations for children).
When it comes to media usage the modern family is shifting from traditional media usage such as
papers and books to more digital sources, such as television and internet. Electronic media play a
central role within families. Using all this modern media also increases the awareness of critical
thinking and decision making when we look at safety and environmental issues. This also means that
the target group gathers a lot of information, before actually buying a product.
For further information we would like to refer you to appendix 1.

CREATIVE BRIEF
The core message is that everybody can contribute a part to a healthier environment by driving
green cars. The idea is that more people will live environmentally conscious and will buyenvironmental friendly cars. The parents can pass this message on to their children, so they will live
more environmentally conscious too, generation after generation. We would like to make people aware
of what is going on with the environment and to think about what the CO2 emission can cause to
ourselves and our world.
The tone of the campaign will be professional, but also mysterious and creating curiosity. This will be
the best way to aware and influence families in the Netherlands.
We have created a logo that will be seen in every advertisement. The logo is a green heart, made out
of puzzle pieces with the slogan: Whats your piece? This is to let them know that everybody is able
to contribute to a healthier environment, by just giving a piece.
CREATIVE EXECUTION
Awareness phase: Teaser campaign: start with a countdown on television, internet and
billboards (1,5 month).
Interest phase: red and green cars will be spread out everywhere in the Netherlands
with negative and positive effects stated on them (3 months).
Desire phase: Billboards and advertisements which involve a polluted world and a
perfect world. In the television commercials theres a dark world with puzzle pieces falling out
which turn into the perfect world with puzzle pieces coming in (6 months).
Action phase: People will get mail and e-mail with the line: Whats your piece? (1,5
month).
MEDIA RECOMMENDATIONS
80% Advertising:
Billboards; along highways and in city centers throughout the country.

MEASURES FOR ASSESSING SUCCESS
In order to measure the success of this campaign, a survey will be conducted under families in the
Netherlands after the campaign is finished. This will be send to them via direct mail over the internet
and will give a good response rate.
Also the sales of environmental friendly car will be assessed. This will tell more about the action
phase, whether people have put the campaign message into use and therefore we will do this a year
after the campaign is finished.

APPENDIX 1:TARGET GROUP INFORMATIONThe target group and situation:
We will focus on families within the Netherlands. In 2006, the Netherlands counted approximately 2,5
million family households and 450.000 one-parent households.Because of the many innovations in technology, there are coming more and more media to spread the
word. The modern family is shifting from traditional media usage such as papers and books to more
digital sources such as television and internet. Television is mostly used for entertainment, the hours
per day watching television within the modern family is still increasing. The world wide web is mostly
used as an information source for important matters. The modern family states that they are very
dependent of the internet and mobile phone usage. The usage of modern media increases the
awareness of critical thinking and decision making when we look at safety and environmental issues.
These criteria are more and more important for the modern family. Electronic media play a central role
within the modern family life. One third of the households state that every family participant has his
own television in his room. This means that there are as much televisions as family participants in onehouse.
Recent research claims that modern parents feel that safety is one of the most criteria in the buying
decision. Especially when we are talking about traffic participation, parents of children younger than 1
year find this the most important factor. Traffic participation is seen as the number one of most
dangerous situations for children. Therefore safety is the top priority. Parents of children between 5
and 12 years old state that they want more control on the safety of their children in traffic situations.
Also car usage is stated as an hazardous situation.
Another research states that young families are driving more environmental friendly than their previous
generation. This is caused by their driving behaviour.

APPENDIX 2:VISUALS EXPLANATIONVisual 1: LogoThe logo consists of a green heart made out of puzzle pieces. These pieces will be seen in everythingthat has to do with the marketing communication campaign. We choose puzzle pieces, because a
puzzle is only made well, when all the pieces fit. This is what we also want to achieve with thecampaign: people should make an effort to make everything fit and to create a better world. Everybodycan contribute their own piece, that is why we also choose the slogan Whats your piece? to makepeople think for themselves. The heart is green, because we are talking about green cars and it is in acircle, because people have to look at themselves, their insides in order to do something.
Visual 2 and 3: Television screenshotsThe first part of the campaign will be very mysterious and curious making. In the media you will onlysee these two visuals, first a clock ticking away time and afterwards the link to a website. On thewebsite will also be the same clock. Nobody will see what it is about, only what you see in these twovisuals.
Visual 4: Car exampleAfter the clock has stopped, throughout the entire Netherlands (at supermarkets, in zoos, etc. placeswhere many families go) cars like these in red and green will be dropped. The green cars will beenvironmental friendly cars and will show sentences as 7,3% CO2 reduction, while the red cars willbe none environmental friendly and will show negative sentences.
Visual 5: Good and bad futureThis visual shows a potential ending for the world. If you use environmental friendly cars, you will
create a perfect puzzle and the world will be beautiful. If you use the red cars, you will not finish the
puzzle and the world will become ugly and horrible.
