Creative Brief for Porsch

Product:Porsche

Objective: to change consumers view that the Porsche can be driven every day.

Target Audience:30 to 55-year-old consumers, slightly more male, college educated, with annual incomes of approximately $100,000. Psychographically, the targeted market is a group known as individualists. They tend not to buy mainstream products. In automobile selection, they place greater emphasis on design elements, distinctiveness, and utility. Social status is important.

Background information:Market research found that potential customers balked at the idea of buying a car just to sit around. When asked what kept them from driving the car every day, they said, “I don’t feel comfortable driving in city traffic. It doesn’t have the technology that I need to manage my everyday life. It doesn’t have space for passengers.”

Message Theme:The Porsche can be driven every day for normal activities. It does not have to sit in the garage and only driven on weekends. It has the newest technology and can comfortably carry passengers

Constraints:All ads must contain the Porsche logo.
