    ExECuTivE SummAry1

    ince the beginning of its existence, the internet has dramatically changed the way we interact with one an-other. With the rise of several social media platforms, such as Myspace and Facebook, online dating has be-

    come increasingly popular. However, along with its popularity there are growing concerns and negative percep-

    tions of honesty, safety, and misrepresentation of ones self. LikeBright, being a new internet dating service, has

    the responsibility of not only creating brand awareness to obtain a part of the market share, but to overcome the

    fears and negative perceptions of online dating. Using the unique up to date information of Facebooks social

    media platform, LikeBright the advantage of dismissing misrepresentation claims, while making connections

    with mutual friends rather than strangers. This provides a sense of safety, by addressing the fear potential users

    have of online dating, and shifting perceptions to believe LikeBright is an honest solution. This will not only

    build awareness of the LikeBright brand, but increase user-ship resulting in an increase of market share.

    The marketing objective is to target women between the ages of 25 35, by raising awareness of the safeand honest methodology of LikeBright. The primary focus is to address the fears associated with online dating

    and dismiss the claims by presenting LikeBright as the solution in efforts to break in the online dating market.

    According to the Association for Psychological Science, researchers have now found online dating second to

    meeting potential dates via friends. Match.com and E Harmony share the majority of the market. However,

    neither site purposes a similar model of the number one way to meet new dates, which is via mutual friends.

    This unique selling proposition places LikeBright at an advantage. Through the multimedia advertising cam-

    paign used it is expected to meet our intended objectives and receive an increase of user-ship while creating and

    establishing brand recognition. The campaign will be tailored to meet the reasonable budget requirement of 2.5

    million.

    The multimedia campaign will embody the concept that all things that may at rst seem scary have positive

    outcomes. Throughout history we have seen people conquer their fears and gain positive rewards. A woman de-

    es the law and refuses to give up her seat to a white man, resulting in the beginning of civil rights. A man trav-

    eling to a new world that others said did not exist. A women lets down her guard and falls in love, and another

    overcomes her fear of what her family may think, or perhaps fears being rejected, but instead gains a wonderful

    experience with a potential mate. LikeBright assumes the role of courage, offering women the perfect medium

    for safety and honesty; it also gives women the chance to say theyve met through friends. The advertisements

    will address the fears of online dating by depicting what people fear it is like and what it actually is, or could

    beif they allow themselves the chance to try it.

    Advertising will convince single women between the ages of 25-35 that LikeBright provides an honest, safeand authentic dating service. The marketing strategies will constitute of a variety of innovative advertising

    methods including a smart phone application for ease of use, print advertisements in various outlets, (including

    a partnership with a major hotel chain) and 30-sec digital commercial. The tone of the advertising campaign

    will be fun yet chic and smart. The campaign will successfully create awareness revolving the brand, change

    negative perceptions of online dating, and increase user-ship of LikeBrights dating service.

    We wanted to nd out the heart of the problem when it comes to online dating. We interviewed consumers about

    their online dating experience.

    rESEArCh6iNTErviEw

    Q: Hey, I was hoping I could ask you a few questions

    on your experiences with online dating.

    A: Sure go for it.

    Q:Well I know that you have tried match.com. How

    was your experience?

    A: It was real good. I met my boyfriend on there that I

    have been dating for several months now. It was hard to

    get used to it at rst, but then I got more comfortable and

    it was easier.

    Q:How likely were you to agree to a blind date

    before your experience and after?

    A: Before somewhat likely. After this, even if it ends

    badly, I know that it would be because of the person not

    because of match.com. So very likely.

    Q:Were you likely before this experience to date a

    friend of a friend?

    A: Not really. I felt like I had heard about everyone

    friends or had met them. I wanted someone outside my

    comfort zone, someone who I wouldnt normally pick

    out myself.

    Q:Why do you think that is?

    A: I think that maybe what I am seeing or attracted to is

    not for me anymore.

    Q:Tell me more about your experience before

    going into the online dating site. Were there any

    apprenhensions ...thoughts? Feelings?

    A: Kind of. I felt a little scared to tell my parents.

    Q:How did that go?

    A:It went suprisingly well. They were proud of me

    taking my love life into my own hands. That made

    everything from there goes faster.

    Q:So both your parents support is the most

    important audience you would say?

    A:Yes.

    Q:How was it telling your friends?

    A: My L.A. friends made it a lot easier than my so-called

    friends... I think it is because they have more of a fast

    pace life and are used to accepting new things and are

    used to other people having fast pace lives as well. They

    realize that its not that easy nding someone in this fast

    city and they were very supportive.

    Smart individuals who are college educated. They are

    not desperate and are independent, know their stan-

    dards, and are career driven.

    What are they like?

    short 30-second commercial encompasses an every day girl

    in her journey from adolescence to adulthood. Its theme is

    simple You never know unless you try. The commercial shows

    the everyday milestones that people face such as the rst day of

    kindergarten, rst date, rst heart break and rst job interview. In

    the 30 seconds this commercial shows the idea that without trying

    this individual would not have conquered and enjoyed her life thesame.

    Online dating is similar in the sense that it is scary, but at the

    same time nothing bad can happen from trying. Our ad does not

    have time to go into the obvious stereotypes and apprehensions

    that LikeBright desolates on its site. However, it captures its key

    demographic at the core, relating to them at a humanistic level

    and bringing them back to the reality of their current situation.

    Trying scary things in your life were hard, but imagine how much

    harder life would have been if it were not for those experiences.

    Te magic mirror is a new trend o media vehicle that ad agencies use these days. It is mostly seen in restroom

    acilities where customers spend requent visits outsides rom their homes. Te platorm displays a certain typeo ad on the mirror and when an individual approaches, the display will dramatically change so that the mirrorwill serve its original purpose. Te ad itsel will just minimize to a certain corner so that the individual will stillsee the logo o the ad and will be able to do her routine in the restroom.

    We believe that displaying these ads will help bring interest among our targeted audience because it is uniqueand an eye-catching in which our consumers can interact with the ad.
