  1. FUSION ADVERTISING “BE YOUR HERO’S HERO” Cynthia Rivera, Sabrina Argiro, Nicholas Ponce, Priyanka Patel, Ali Mansoor, Matilda Koroma

  2. APPEALING TO FAMILIES WILL PROVE TO BE SUCCESSFUL THROUGHOUT OUR CAMPAIGN. Many middle-aged men and women tend to donate and belong to many charitable/non-profit organizations, but the Fisher House Foundation is not included on any of their lists. Fusion Advertising’s “Be Your Hero’s Hero” campaign will bring more awareness to Fisher House, and will convince our target market that by donating, they will be helping America’s heroes, therefore making them a hero, as well. • Our research reveals that men over the age of 45, and women over the age of 55 are more likely to be involved with a veteran’s club, and are more likely to make charitable contributions. Also, men over the age of 55 who served in the armed forces, have made the most charitable contributions within the last 12 months. • It was also discovered that many people within our target have similar views on what a “hero” is to them, and veterans fit the description perfectly; therefore we will incorporate their perception of a hero into our campaign through media and below the line tactics. • Creative components are integrated throughout this campaign through various scenarios of injured veterans and their families. Print ads, billboard/airport ads, television and radio spots have been proven to be the most effective amongst our target, so we plan to utilize these as much as possible, and to the best of our ability. • Our below the line tactics will include two major galas—one in Bethesda, Maryland, and the other in New York City, a walkathon in Washington, D.C. and New York City, and partnerships with the Tough Mudder Race, Build-a-Bear Workshop, and Heinz Ketchup. • The family-oriented aspects of our campaign will increase awareness for Fisher House amongst our target, and will ultimately encourage them to donate, and in turn, be their hero’s hero. EXECUTIVESUMMARY Cynthia

FISHER HOUSE HAS BEEN PROVIDING VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH TEMPORARY HOMES SINCE 1990. • The Fisher House Foundation is well known for its network of homes where military and veterans’ families can stay for free, while a loved one is receiving treatment. • Fisher Houses are considered a “home away from home” for the veteran patients and their families. • There are 62 5,000-16,000 square foot Fisher Houses located in the United States and Germany. • Each house has between eight to 21 suites, that are professionally furnished, and can accommodate 16 to 42 family members. • Some statistics: • The Fisher House Foundation has served over 180,000 families since it was first started. • It has saved families over $200 million in lodging and transportation costs. • Average stay: approximately ten days • It has been rated four (out of four) stars from Charity Navigator. • The foundation was given an A+ from the American Institute of Philanthropy.

  7. TO DETERMINE OUR TARGET, EXTENSIVE RESEARCH WAS REQUIRED. OUR RESEARCH PROCESS RESEARCH Cynthia and Sabrina

  8. Baby boomers are family oriented. KEY FINDING: Baby Boomers highly value their family and share similar views to what they believe a hero is. Therefore, their personality reflects their donating habits. RESEARCH Cynthia and Sabrina

  9. Baby boomers live different lifestyles, but have similar values. RESEARCH Cynthia and Sabrina

  10. People donate to charities for many reasons. • WHYDO WE DONATE? • We are emotionally moved by a person’s story. • We don’t want to feel powerless in the face of need, knowing that we can help. • We want to change lives. • We feel fortunate, and want to give back to others. • We will integrate these motives into our campaign in order to appeal to our target market, and to encourage them to donate to Fisher House.

  11. Fisher house foundation lacks brand identity. According to our primary research, our target is not even aware of Fisher House as an established non-profit organization. To them, American Red Cross is their top of mind organization. Our task: to increase overall brand awareness for Fisher House Foundation. RESEARCH Cynthia and Sabrina

  12. In order to increase brand awareness, an in-depth analysis of Fisher house was necessary. RESEARCH "Charity Navigator Rating - Fisher House Foundation." Charity Navigator. Charity Navigator, n.d. Web. 1 May 2014. Priyanka

  13. Before creating a campaign, it is important to determine what must be accomplished. • Reasons to Believe • A veteran is someone who is selfless and makes sacrifices for others. Our target market also views a hero in a similar sense. By combining these two aspects, consumers will see that a veteran is a hero to them. • Positioning Statement • Unlike other veteran-oriented nonprofit organizations, Fisher House strives to help the entire family. They do not just collect money to donate to veterans, they provide frees housing to the family of injured veterans. • Organizing Idea • The Be Your Hero’s Hero campaign will focus around images and videos of what our target views as heroes. We will show different ideas of popular hero perceptions, and demonstrate that they can be their hero’s hero by donating to our organization. Key Insight Our diverse members of our target have a few things in common—they have similar views on what a hero is, and highly value family life. They react well to organizations that reflect these values and in-turn will convey good feelings after donating. Message The Fisher House Foundation’s mission is to connect veterans (heroes) with their loved ones during their times of need, and by donating, our target can become their “hero’s” hero. Tone Emotional, Serious, Heartfelt Campaign Tagline: “Be your hero’s hero” Brand Tagline: “Because a family’s love is good medicine” CREATIVE STRATEGY Cynthia and Sabrina

  14. Our Microsite will provide easy access to the “Be a hero” campaign. The website will be easy to use, and will have different tabs for up-to-date information about our campaign. The website will include tabs for donations, as well as information on the Gala and Walkathon MEDIA Ali

  15. Using traditional media, such as print ads, to reach our target Background photography will feature a unique story of the veterans and their family in a single shot. This will convey a message filled with emotions and empathy. The overall print will then express what a hero means. Finally, there will be the tagline of the “Hero” campaign, “Be Your Hero’s Hero”. In addition, a link in fine print direct the audience to the website where they would be able to donate for the cause. The Result: Fisher House Foundation is presented as the trademark of the Hero. • Body Copy • Connotation of the word Hero • Logo/Tagline • Continuation of the Fisher House Foundation logo. • Introduces a new tagline which reads: “Be Your Hero’s Hero”. • Image • Use of veterans with their loved ones • Strong manifestation of emotions that relates to each individual • Integration of Promotions • Bottom of ad reads: “visit www.BeAHero.com and Donate Today!” Body Copy:A Hero is … A Selfless Person Body Copy: A Hero is … Someone Who Makes Sacrifices MEDIA Ali

  16. ADDITIONAL PRINT ADS Our research has told us that our target does not utilize social media or the Internet as much as younger generations. We have chosen to use print advertisements and television spots to reach our target. Tone • Honest, emotional, heartfelt. • Body copy starts with: “A Hero Is…” in order to introduce different connotations in a more expressive manner. Art Direction • Center folds the main picture while blurring or black & white the background. • Use of white color for the font to ensure simplicity. Mandatories • Fisher House Foundation logo on the print ad. • Tagline “Be Your Hero’s Hero”. • Show the website: www.BeAHero.com • Showcase of veterans with families/loved ones. Body Copy: A Hero is … Someone Who Fights For ACause MEDIA Ali

  17. Our target responds well to BILLBOARD Ads. Billboards will be created, keeping the text minimal, as they will be placed in high traffic areas. The ads must have the tagline: “Be Your Hero’s Hero”, and display the website: www.BeAHero.com”. Will also showcase the Fisher House Foundation Logo. Our secondary data has told us that our target responds well to large billboard advertisements. (Simmons Index- 121) MEDIA Ali

  18. Our target responds well to airport ads. Airport ads will be created and placed both inside and outside of airport terminals (domestic and international). The ads inside the terminal will mainly display text, showcasing the tagline: “Be Your Hero’s Hero”, website: www.BeAHero.com, and the Fisher House Foundation Logo. Ads outside of the terminal will be very similar, with the addition of a photo of a veteran with his/her loved ones/family. Our secondary data has told us that our target responds well to airport displays. (Simmons Index- 114) MEDIA Ali
