ABOUT SPORTS IDENTITY, INC.

Sports Identity, Inc. was founded in 2003 by Derek Boyle, formerly with sports marketing powerhouse Woolf Associates.

WHAT WE KNOWWhen it comes to solving challenges, we know that experiential marketing is successful. With Sports Marketing, we know the program created to bring your brand to life is as important as finding the right athlete with whom to associate your brand. We also know that fan interaction is key to delivering an effective experiential marketing program.

Experiential Marketing feeds consumers’ psychographic passion for sports by interactively bringing a brand’s promise to life through individualized brand experiences designed to last a lifetime in the mind of the consumer.

WHAT WE BELIEVESports enthusiasts aspire to be just like the professional athletes they watch, look up to, and imitate in their driveways or back yards. Through Synergistic Relationship Management, Sports Identity turns these dreams into reality while bridging an emotional connection between brand and consumer.

This thinking is at the forefront of our methodology: • create solutions that are grounded by strategy • provide growth opportunities • focus on results

THREE PRIMARY DIVISIONS OF SPORTS IDENTITY

• SYNERGISTIC RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

• ATHLETE MARKETING

• BRANDMATCH® SCORE

WHAT IS IT?Synergistic Relationship Management is the process we utilize to service our corporate clients, whether it’s for brand consulting or event management. S.R.M. is broken down into 3 distinct phases. These phases provide us with flexibility when entering into a partnership with a corporation or organization. Not every project begins at the same starting point. Therefore, certain information is needed no matter where we start from in the process.

Through Synergistic Relationship Management, Sports Identity creates, manages and executes all aspects of an Experiential Marketing Program, from inception to evaluation.

These three phases guide us to ensure proper management and success. They provide a framework for building a marketing strategy and aid in creating solutions that will solve business challenges and identify growth opportunitites to continue building the project for years to come.

SYNERGISTIC RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

brand experiences generate a lifetime of returnsWhat’s YOUR Sports Identity?

GAME PLAN

DEVELOPING BRAND EXPERIENCESAt this point we’ll have a good understanding of the Brand and the programs that we’re tasked with creating andimplementing. Based upon the Brand Analysis we’ll define your Brand Essence, and agree on specific measurementsfor success to solve Key Challenges and Objectives. From here we’re able to create Synergistic Solutions and develop aset of memorable Brand Experiences that will increase Brand Equity and solve business challenges, while leaving alasting impression upon your target market. Always looking at the big picture and into the future, we createexperiences that will generate a lifetime of returns.

BRANDMATCH®BrandMatch® is a tool utilized to accurately align multiple brands. Every partner involved in a program can and willhave an effect on the outcome. BrandMatch® ensures each brand is in sync. With confidence in each alliance, we’ll beable to activate the tangible and intangible attributes of each brand to strengthen the message, enhance awarenessfor the program and achieve maximum return.

In sports, you can’t win a big game without careful preparation. Designing a game plan consists of understanding your team’s ability, analyzing your opponent, and making sure you have the right personnel to carry out the strategy and succeed. The same philosophy exists when creating a brand experience to solve business challenges.

BRAND ANALYSISAny successful business follows three specific steps when launching. The Business Strategy always comes first and is the foundation for building a brand. The Brand Strategy comes next followed by the Marketing Strategy. However a successful marketing strategy stems from a solid brand strategy.

Expressing brands requires big picture thinking to bridge the connection between brand and consumer. To obtain an optimal position, a brand must fulfill a promise to deliver a clearly stated benefit that is relevant to consumers and sets the offering apart from competitors. A strong brand strategy is the first and most critical step to securing brand success in today’s increasingly competitive marketplace.

Our job is to create and execute the Marketing Strategy. We begin by analyzing your current Brand Strategy, understanding every aspect. The brands we purchase reflect our values, enhance our identities and enrich our lives. The intent of the Brand Analysis phase is to understand the brand’s history, products, personality, consumers and competitors as well as understand the goals and objectives of the company and its brands.

BRAND POSITIONYour Brand Strategy will help us understand your definitive point of differenceand relevance and where your brand is currently positioned in the marketplace versus your competitors.

TARGET AUDIENCESQualitative and quantitative research is conducted into the brand’s audience,demographically and psychographically.

OBJECTIVESYour brand may face one or many challenges. Our marketing strategy will bebased upon the set of challenges you’re currently facing and understandingwhere you want your brand to be in the future.

PLAYBOOKOur strategic plan will detail a road map to success. We’ll deliver a plan with our recommendations for programs,athletes, partners and a pr strategy to launch the campaign, along with implementation and execution tools.

EXECUTIONA detailed strategy alone will not deliver results. Sports Identity will tap its Marketing Network consisting of agents, athletes, entertainers and business relationships to negotiate and secure the appropriate alliances. Sports Identity will also put the plan in action by managing the implementation and execution of each program element.

SPONSOR PROCUREMENTMany programs call for alliances with other companies. Based on the strategy and information obtained using BrandMatch®, Sports Identity will negotiate and secure partners to enhance the program such as media, charities and other brands.

TALENT PROCUREMENTFinding the best talent is difficult, understanding pricing and how to secure the talent is just as tough. Utilizing the results from BrandMatch® Score, Sports Identity will tap its network of athletes/entertainers and agents, allowing us to efficiently secure the talent best suited for the program and to negotiate the best deal for you in the least amount of time.

PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATIONSports Identity will lead, manage and work as a team with you to implement the strategy and carry out best-of-class marketing programs which will distinguish your brand from rivals, affirm market position and add value. To invoke employee participation and to reduce your overhead costs, Sports Identity will involve your staff to execute each aspect of the program.

As in sports, there’s always another game. Red Sox fans grew accustomed to this ideal for 86 years. Whether the next game is tomorrow, next week, or next year, understanding the results of your program and the potential for your brand’s future growth is extremely important. To do so, Sports Identity executes a complete Results Audit. We then develop an EndorseWeb to illustrate the program’s framework and to help map out future opportunities.

RESULTS AUDITThe end result of any program provides more information than just your basic ROI. In addition to the numbers, our Results Audit will show what program elements hit home with your target, what needs tweaking and what should be tossed.

ENDORSEWEBSports Identity developed the EndorseWeb to illustrate how creating successful programs requires a strategic thought process. We design each element with an eye towards expansion. This step will help show room for growth and potential areas to expand.

NEXT SEASONThe Results Audit and EndorseWeb will help us determine a set of recommendations for future programs. Did we solve the challenge? Do we need to change the Game Plan? Did it work well enough to continue the program? Can we expand to more markets? All these questions are answered and we’ll provide you with options for a second term of partnership with Sports Identity, Inc.

EVALUATION

We start with the Primary Brand (in this case CVS). We create a program that will solve challenges. Then we identify and secure the most appropriate athletes, corporate sponsors and media partners to enhance the program. As the program evolves, we’re able to add more partnerships, create more experiences and strengthen the brand.
