102. Likes - Arnold Schwarzenegger I found it amusing to start with Schwarzenegger in the beginning Schwarzenegger is the right start for the spot, regardless of whether you like him or not, he represents the USA and especially California.

103. Spot - Dislikes in general If it wouldn�t constantly say California, you wouldn�t necessarily know that it is California The picture material is exchangeable, �the typical Californian� is missing �I would have liked to see the Golden Gate Bridge in the background� The spot was too fast, �I would have forgotten it after 20 seconds� Too superficial, �California has more to offer� The national parks were missing Too much advertising It was too softy, insufficient action The aspect of a family was not conveyed, it is for �individualists, who have lots of money, who don�t think about, just consume� Spots show actions that costs a lot of money, but there is also nature to see

104. Dislikes � Actors Actors as advertisers, why not show normal people The people are too much in the foreground Clint Eastwood can stand for the USA in general, �I wouldn�t know in what context he stands to California�. Boris Becker does also an ad on a golf course, for DAS The ad has been done for the American market Many celebrities are not known in Germany

105. Does the Spot Represent California The spot represents mostly what the participants associate with California. �It reflects what I have imagined, calmness and action�. However, you would �need to see more regions, as various activity groups�. �I fly there because I want to get to know the countryside and the people, and they show only little of that�.

106. Is the spot appealing The spot is basically seen as appealing and professional, however there are some criticized aspects. It was too fast It was not creative enough You don�t get any wanderlust, no longing

107. Is the spot surprising The spot is neither assessed as unclear nor as surprising. One has the impression �they try to address every target group�. Further, one wants to �stuff everything into the spot, what is associated with the state�, �whether this is right or wrong cannot be assessed�.

108. Does the spot wake the interest for California Based on the spot �I would not have booked the vacation�. �It shows everything, if you know that it is there, but it doesn�t say anything, it shows no highlights�. If you have already been in California �you can associate it with that, if not than it is anywhere�. �You don�t see any landscapes, that makes you want to go there�. �The spot was typically American, but California is not typically American, that is a discrepancy�.

109. Recognized Celebrities Arnold Schwarzenegger Clint Eastwood, also as former mayor of Orange County Terri Hatcher A �NASCAR driver, one must know down there, but not here�

110. Use of Celebrities Likes Striking �It sells better� Appealing to people who haven�t been to California, yet Celebrities are usually also used in Germany Quite nice It is good to see some familiar faces It helps to remember the spot Schwarzenegger is California It fits They fit to California Dislikes You don�t need celebrities The Hollywood sign was missing It is overloaded Rather for younger people Clint Eastwood or Terri Hatcher don�t fit I place no value on that

111. Other suitable celebrities Other celebrities that are associated with California are: Paris Hilton, �the hotel heir�, although she is negatively associated with California and doesn�t stand for California Sharon Stone, �a great personality, very cultivated, open-minded, she fits� Meg Ryan, Jane Fonda Steven Spielberg No celebrities, rather known motives As rather unsuitable are mentioned Pamela Anderson and Barbara Becker.

112. Suggestion Thomas Gottschalk The commentaries about Thomas Gottschalk are mostly negative. �Awful� �Gottschalk is talent-free and only embarrassing for his age� �Gottschalk is a no-go� �He hasn�t developed, he isn�t funny anymore� �I wouldn�t go to California because of him� �Is there something this man hasn�t sold, yet?� �He should keep to his gummi bears� �I think he fits, he is quite well-known�

113. Suggestion J�rgen Klinsmann The commentaries about J�rgen Klinsmann are also mostly negative. �Egocentric, doesn�t fit to California� �Unreal, odd guy� It doesn�t fit, �he is German, although he lived there for a long time� One participant has the following opinion, �Of all the suggested celebrities Klinsmann is the only one who has sufficient sympathy factor, but I wouldn�t necessarily associate him with California�.

114. Suggestion Steffi Graf The participants see Steffi Graf also as rather unsuitable, although the reactions are not that negative here. �She shall make ads for Barilla noodles� �Together with her husband, yes� �It fits more, but rather for Las Vegas, not for California�.

115. David Beckham/John Cleese Most of the participants don�t know John Cleese, he is rather associated with �Monty Python�s�. He appears �too British, too European�. David Beckham �is associated with soccer, and what has California to do with soccer?� �That Beckham, and his wife, they appear like an artificial product�. �These are people where you would think, they would do everything as long as the money is right�.

116. Conclusion Suggested Celebrities The participants show not much sympathy to any of the suggested celebrities. Finally: �If they want someone who talks German, they should rather look for someone who has a certain credibility�, someone �who really has to do something with that state�. �I want to have an American. Schwarzenegger is o.k., that is something different, I want an American, not a German�. �Those guys like Schwarzenegger, that are real men, down-to-earth, he stands for something�.

117. Tagline California find yourself here The tagline is assessed positively and as fitting, although it is not �the big hit� and lacks the �wow feeling�. It �passed too quickly� and it is also �exchangeable�. A suggested alternative would be �express yourself�.

118. TaglineCalifornia find yourself her Likes Fits, there is something for everyone You can find yourself in nature Has a lot to do with activities You can fulfill yourself Everyone can present himself It has a reference Dislikes Too quickly presented It also fits to whiskey I can also find myself in other countries The state is too commercial that it would fit The individualism should be more emphasized Like Lufthansa, a better way to fly

119. Focus Groups - Results Winter Spot California

120. Spot Evaluation The winter spot is rather negatively assessed by the participants. Although it has a �surprise effect�, �you think you�ve landed in the Alps�, the spot is �very irritating�. Most of the participants associate California with �summer�, �warmth, ocean, and not high mountains�. Altogether the spot is seen as �unfitting for California�, the winter scenario is �not a nice additional, positive effect�, it is merely �a small aspect of California� and �specifically you need to know that you can go skiing in the Sierra Nevada�.

121. California as a Winter Sport Location The participants don�t like this idea. To all of them California is associated with sun, warmth, beaches. One wouldn�t fly extra to California for a skiing vacation Snow and California is not appealing, it appears alien As a skiing fan you would look for closer locations, you have better options in Europe It is not appealing to children and old people Winter sport area is a too small aspect of California

122. Is the spot appealing The spot per se is appealing, �somehow a round thing, it shows that there is also a different side, besides the one that everyone knows and uses�, but the idea of winter sport is not assessed as attractive, it only appeals to skiing fans, although �I would like to have these snow pictures in there, but not related to sport�. However, one is �willing to have both spots running�.

123. Main Message of the Spot The spot is surprising, generally one would not have associated California with winter, however one does not feel addressed by it, it �is not interesting�, �it is no addition�. The spot shows �pressure, fun, fun, fun. Why can�t they go walking in the woods?�

124. New Ad � Main Message Likes Over the beach, �emphasizes the relaxation� Board Meetings are assessed positively The spot is �quite funny� �It is sophisticated� �It addresses various age groups� The wine grower scenes are positively assessed Dislikes The beginning is too strenuous Too much emphasize on sport Too much emphasize on activities The celebrities are unknown Everything is missing, it could also be Switzerland or Nova Scotia It shows nothing of California One or two highlights are missing It is exchangeable The last picture could also be the Baltic Sea or North Sea

125. Fits to California? The new ad is altogether positively assessed. It is said to be �better than the films�. It is �closer, not jet-set like�, �more honest�, it doesn�t show �some beach beauties�. What is especially liked is �the slight ironic text from the working environment, that is shown with different pictures�.

126. Evaluation of the Logo The logo is altogether positively assessed, �yellow can stand for the sun and blue for the water and the ocean�, �it is not so massive�, �it is o.k., simple and touching�. Negatively mentioned is that it �looks unfinished, looks like self-painted�, �something similar already exists, regarding the colors�, and the �writing is insignificant�.
