  1. Sept 2011 the process • Why are they useful? • They are a way to bring the larger marketing team together to understand and align the audience and their patterns of purpose. • They are a brainstorming platform, a visually compelling way to share insights and stimulate ideas. It’s a great tool to keep visible in ideation sessions to ensure that any ideas reflect something that is meaningful to the consumer. • They help set the scene when presenting communication ideas or creative. • They serve as a go-to guide, a live reference point to remind you of your audience. • In the digital form, it can be easily updated and refreshed. What is an archetype? Archetypes offer a multi-dimensional view of our audience. They gather together unique, motivating and compelling facts and thoughts we know about the target, based on research, expert knowledge, product data, category experience . They are a way of generating empathy with our audience. What is an archetype map? Archetype mapping is a technique that we use to build and visualize our audience. We take the most relevant, interesting, and high indexing data points (approximately 120) which matter most for a given audience. In a grouping exercise, we conduct a workshop to distil key themes and develop a unique insight about our audience. Watch Jim Elms, Global Head of Strategy, explain more here: http://justcurious.umww.com/CuriositySkills/Item.aspx itemId=7bcd4f42-5a1c-421f-98b1-e075cf337b45 See page 2 for a sample archetype map Develop narrative Data point selection Archetype mapping workshop Build map in digital application • Take a high-resolution picture of the wall, or otherwise capture your data points and insights • See page 3 for detailed instructions on how to transfer your data points, themes and insights into the digital archetype map. • Pull lifestyle, behavioural, attitudinal, category and channel-related data points against your target demographic using UM proprietary, client and syndicated data sources (i.e., Simmons, TGI, MIM, Wave) • Analyze each statement for fit, sample size, coverage, and index. Select the top 100-125 most relevant statements • In groups of 3-5 people, transfer each data point onto an individual post-it notes • Place all post-it notes onto a large wall and begin to examine for similarities and patterns among the data • Begin separating data points into four quadrants. Each quadrant will represent an individual theme which motivates your audience, supported by 13-16 data points • Each quadrant requires a short, first-person title (i.e., “I am a trendsetter,” 29 characters max) in addition to a few sentences which describes the theme (195 characters max) • Who is your audience? To ground your archetype, create a few sentences to give context to who they are, where they come from. Distil your four key themes into a core audience insight (70 characters max) • Share and compare– present your archetype and narrative to other groups, building out the best aspects of each into the strongest collaborative map

  14. As discussed yesterday on the phone, this is actually an issue with the videos themselves depending how they were encoded. You can see a test here: http://archetype.umww.dev.expandtheroom.net/Presentation/589c8f50e7... where the first 2 videos were encoded with Fast/Hinted streaming enabled (depending on the program you use to encode the videos, you may have this option) and play after the first few seconds are downloaded. • The third video was not encoded with the Fast/Hinted streaming feature and you have to wait until the download is complete before it plays. The fourth video was ran through this nice free utility: http://renaun.com/blog/code/qtindexswapper/ which adds the Fast/Hinted streaming feature to the video and reuploaded. You can see that it plays right without having to be fully downloaded. • We believe the audio encoding was an issue in the mp4 – it needed to be AAC
