NATIVE Creative Brief

4.29.13 AUDIENCE

Primary target basics: Young Urban Professionals, 25-35, Male and Female, higher income, local San Francisco.

• Biggest segment of SF Population. o 25 to 34 year olds make up largest percentage of the total San

Francisco population. 1 • Putting off big life commitments like marriage and kids

o “Wick, who has been in an on-and-off relationship for about three years with a man who doesn't want children, has yet to start her family, "unless you count my puppies," she says. Wick calls her puppies "snooze-buttons" for her ovaries." 2

• Social Pressure to feel and be a good parent to their pet o 47% of pet owners feel that owning a pet is better for your social life

than social networking.

“Parental test drivers” This generation has more choices than any who have come before them. There is no longer the same social pressure to get married, settle down, and have children at a young age. They take advantage of this opportunity by taking more time to get to know themselves: to travel, to focus on their careers, and to date different people. Although they aren't yet ready for the responsibility of raising a child, they still crave a certain level of responsibility, as they get older. Their dog fits perfectly into this role, and serves as a stepping-stone towards one day having a child of their own. For now, their dog is their child, their companion, and the one they snuggle with before bed every night. Since they're so busy with work, their furry child helps to balance out their life by providing a sense of companionship. This doesn't mean that they aren't interested in having a social life, in fact they desire time out with friends and feel guilty about leaving their dog home alone when they go out to play. Even when they're not with their friends, these digital natives stay close through social media and are constantly Instagraming, tweeting, and status updating.

“[San Francisco] also has the lowest ratio of children to adults of any major U.S. city: There is little doubt that dogs are helping fill a parental void...’The Marina has a lot of young people who aren’t married so, you know, you get a dog,’ says Franchey’s girlfriend, Lisa Mobini, 29, a former NFL cheerleader.”3
