RELATED EXPERIENCE
CASE STUDY Greater Philadelphia Tourism
Marketing Corporation The Greater Philadelphia
Tourism Marketing Corporation (GPTMC) is the
leisure destination marketing agency for
Philadelphia and the four surrounding
countryside counties. In 2003, GPTMC announced
a three-year, 1 million investment to attract
the valuable gay travel market to Philadelphia.
GPTMC approached Altus Group to develop a
creative campaign to position Philadelphia in the
gay travel market that would be in sync with
mainstream Philadelphia tourism efforts while
reflecting the pride and sensibilities of the gay
and lesbian community. Altus Group first
conducted research that proved that, while gay
and lesbian travelers are drawn to the region's
historical attractions, they seldom choose
destinations that do not offer gay and lesbian
social and cultural activities to make them feel
welcome. The research presented a challenge
combine three messages (historical attractions,
gay and lesbian social activities, and a
gay-friendly attitude) into one idea. Altus Group
created a tagline to communicate all of this
Get Your History Straight and Your Nightlife
Gay. Our national ads gave the theme line a
colorful twist by combining some of
Philadelphia's historical icons with the rainbow
symbol of gay and lesbian pride. Whimsical
treatments of history such as Betsy sewing her
flag, Ben flying his kite, and George crossing
the Delaware River proclaim that Philadelphians
have a sense of humor and a history of
encouraging freedom and new ideas. These eyeball
grabbers were placed in carefully selected
national gay publications that focus on travel
and leisure. In year two, Altus Group expanded
the campaign to create the first television
commercial in the world targeting gay travelers
for a destination. The results of the campaign
have increased economic impact for the region and
positioned Philadelphia as a leader in the U.S.
gay travel industry.

MESSAGE POINTS

• Primary messages provided by Select Greater
  Philadelphia
• Great value for business
• Fast-growing clusters (namely Life/Bio Sciences,
  Chemicals, Financial Services and Information
  Technology and Communications)
• Exceptional quality of life
• Highly educated and talented workforce
• Outstanding and numerous educational and research
  resources
• Excellent location and transportation connections
• Innovative and passionate and can-do spirit
• Diverse knowledge-based economy
• Center for IT innovation

25
INSIGHTS
Select Greater Philadelphias target audience is
made up of a varied and multi-layered array of
professionals. The target audience can be grouped
by a) target industry clusters, b) real estate
consultants, or c) geographic markets. Proximity
(to resources, transportation, workforce,
education, etc.) is a primary decision-making
factor for many industries. The corporate
location business is based on a mix of
relationships and hard facts. All decisions are
made with a mix of left- (logical, analytical)
and right-brain (intuitive, holistic)
functions. The target audience may not be aware
of Select Greater Philadelphia or its
services. The marketing message must speak to and
relate to the varied audiences. A marketing
campaign cannot move companies to the region the
marketing must work to place Philadelphia in
consideration for a companys location. The
creative implementation of Select Greater
Philadelphias campaign must reflect the regions
brand.
26
SITUATION
MARKETING CHALLENGE Select Greater Philadelphia
needs to correctly position the Greater
Philadelphia region in the consciousness of a
diverse set of corporate location professionals
and company executives in order to place
Philadelphia on the list of location/relocation
options. GOAL Communicate Greater Philadelphias
position in the corporate location market and
Select Greater Philadelphias related services to
generate information requests and
leads. STRATEGIES Primary Position Greater
Philadelphia as a superior location for doing
business in the U.S. Secondary Position Select
Greater Philadelphia as the ultimate resource for
corporate location information for the Greater
Philadelphia region.
27
POSITIONING
POSITIONING STATEMENT The Greater Philadelphia
region is the superior place to do business in
the United States. SUPPORTING STATEMENTS Greater
Philadelphia has a long history of innovative
spirit and can do attitude. Greater
Philadelphia provides proximity to political,
financial, natural, educational and human
resources that are critical to business growth
and success. Greater Philadelphia provides a
quality of life that features rich assets and
high value. Greater Philadelphia offers a lower
cost of doing business.
28
RATIONALE
Business location and relocation decisions no
matter what the size of the company involve a
complex equation of quality of life,
transportation, work force, costs and other
factors. The location process generally involves
negotiations with local and state governments as
well as government-sponsored incentives. While
marketing cannot affect these final arrangements
and negotiations, marketing can place Greater
Philadelphia on the list of destinations to be
considered. Also, location decisions are not made
in a linear world they are made on a holistic
basis. The most appealing destination must be
satisfying to the company on many levels
quality of life, cost effectiveness, labor pool,
etc. While one destination may stand out in one
or numerous areas, it is the entire package that
will place a destination at the top of the list.
Greater Philadelphias richness of resources,
unparalleled location and cost value provide such
a superior package. Very few regions in the U.S.
can satisfy business needs on so many levels.
Greater Philadelphia may not be number one in
every category, but it offers the best
environment for business success. And, Greater
Philadelphia represents 11 counties in three
states, each of which boasts distinct benefits.
The goal of Select Greater Philadelphias
marketing campaign must be to communicate this
superior holistic package, and get the region
listed on every short list. Once this is
accomplished, Select Greater Philadelphias
services can provide the support to locate the
company in the region.
29
RECOMMENDATIONS

• Altus Group recommends the following campaign
  foci
• Target Industries
• Make the Life/Bio Sciences industry cluster the
  primary target because
• Capitalize on Success Greater Philadelphia
  already has a successful critical mass of
  businesses in this cluster, and is experiencing
  growth in the cluster.
• Capitalize on Past Investment Select Greater
  Philadelphia and its partners made a significant
  investment to reach this segment during the 2005
  BIO convention in Philadelphia.
• Capitalize on the regions focus The
  Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has made the growth
  of this industry a priority. The Philadelphia
  Convention Visitors Bureau recently renamed its
  Health Congress as the Life Sciences Congress,
  and is placing an emphasis on bringing more
  industry meetings to the city.
• There appears to be location potential from
  companies in the European Union, where labor and
  tax issues create a reason for location in the
  U.S. The growth of flights between Philadelphia
  and Europe continue to enhance the regions
  connections with European companies.

30
RECOMMENDATIONS

• Target Audiences
• Place an emphasis on reaching corporate
  executives over real estate brokers/ consultants
  and site selectors
• While real estate brokers, site selectors and
  other consultants are used by some of the people
  some of the time, trying to capture this diverse
  audience is an ineffective media strategy.
• Corporate executives can be reached through
  industry-specific media and events, which
  supports the industry-specific cluster strategy.
• Select Greater Philadelphias local stakeholders
  and ambassadors can identify corporate executives
  and representatives more effectively than they
  can various consultants they travel in the same
  circles.
• Messages
• Reinforce the industry cluster strategy by
  emphasizing messages about Philadelphias success
  in those clusters, and those message points that
  relate specifically to those industries.
• Greater Philadelphia stands apart from other
  regions in the U.S. for its proximity to
  population, resources and transportation.
  Capitalize on this message.

31
MEDIA RECOMMENDATIONS
32
MEDIA STRATEGY

• Altus Group always develops its Media Strategy
  before its Creative Strategy to ensure that the
  campaign is driven by a sound strategic plan.
  The creative can then be developed to support the
  strategy.
• MEDIA STRATEGIES
• Outreach Program
• Create positive associations for Select Greater
  Philadelphia by utilizing media forms and
  vehicles most relevant to current and potential
  prospects.
• Reach prospects through innovative and surprising
  vehicles so that the message will resonate with
  the audience and communicate the innovation of
  Greater Philadelphias brand.
• Use innovative media vehicles that will reflect
  the regions brand.
• Push Select Greater Philadelphia to audience
  through aggressive Search Engine Optimization.
• Local Program
• Since more business moving to the Philadelphia
  Region helps everyone, we recommend asking the
  media to support this program with the following
• Become goodwill ambassadors and provide
  testimonials within their medium.
• Provide remnant space and added value
  enhancements for a small budget allocation.

OUTREACH PROGRAM BLUECASTING BlueCasting is a
proximity marketing platform which allows two-way
transfer of data to/from mobile devices based on
proximity of such mobile devices to a BlueCast
server. It leverages the growing number of
Bluetooth enabled devices including mobile
phones, PDAs and portable computers. BlueCasting
delivers high-bandwidth delivery of digital data,
without network charges, on an opt-in basis. The
BlueCast software tools allow the system to be
highly personalized, tracking users and
delivering them relevant content. The service
also provides remote monitoring via an
easy-to-use Web interface. This emerging
technology can be applied to Select Greater
Philadelphias campaign through Bluetooth-enabled
posters and displays during targeted industry
trade shows and events. The BlueCast server will
send a text message to all Bluetooth enabled
devices that pass 150 feet of the display,
inviting the user to download a short video about
Select Greater Philadelphia. By taking advantage
of new technologies, individuals with
Bluetooth-enabled devices can be prompted to
download the promotional video and any other
media. The tone of the video we will create will
be fast-paced and high energy. The main visual
components will be aerial B-roll of the region,
along with company and University logos that will
support text that communicates the key
messages. The video will reside on the Select
Greater Philadelphia Web site and can be used as
a downloadable element in an outdoor marketing
campaign. The technology can be applied to poster
sites, train, air and bus terminals, public
spaces, trade show booths or interactive kiosks.

  audience over the year. These e-mails will take
  the form of electronic brochures to remind the
  audience of Select Greater Philadelphia
  resources.
• This strategy will create a database of
  interested companies and will allow Select
  Greater Philadelphia to remind them to include
  the Greater Philadelphia region on their short
  lists.

CREATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS

CREATIVE STRATEGY
Companies located in the Greater Philadelphia
region can enhance their opportunities for
GREATNESS because of the regions unique
qualities and people who make things
happen. The campaign will be anchored by the
slogan, BE gt using the mathematical greater
than symbol. This slogan relates directly to
the Select Greater Philadelphia name, and the
Greater Philadelphia region. The slogan tells
the audience what they want to hear that they
and their company can be greater, be more
successful, be more profitable. We are telling
them that they can be all of that, and more, here
in Greater Philadelphia. As stated in the
strategic rationale, while Philadelphia may not
be number one in every factor for corporate
location, the region offers a superior package
that covers the cost of doing business, proximity
to resources, quality of life and an innovative
spirit. Greater Philadelphia has a long history
of innovation that has enhanced quality of
business and quality of life. The creative
campaign will use the accomplishments of famous
residents of the region to demonstrate what can
be accomplished in the region. Using icons such
as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison and the
Dupont family which cover the tri-state region
the creative will juxtapose their business
accomplishments with related quality of life
images. The body copy will point to messages
that support the regions position as a superior
place to do business. Using a mix of proven
achievement, quality of life and hard fact
elements, this campaign will satisfy both the
left brain (logical, analytical) and right brain
(intuitive, holistic) thinking of the target
audience.
46
CREATIVE SOLUTION
Be Greater is a positive and appealing message
to any audience. It touches upon business and
personal satisfaction. The slogan connects being
greater with being in Greater Philadelphia, and
reinforces the Select Greater Philadelphia name.

PRINT ADS
The print ad campaign looks back at the notable
achievements made by people in the Greater
Philadelphia region, while projecting forward to
what the reader can achieve when doing business
here.

Resource Locators Since proximity to resources
has been shown to be a critical decision-making
factor in corporate location, we recommend a
series of database-driven maps that will enable
prospects to locate various resources in relation
to the Greater Philadelphia region. Where are
local universities involved in life science
research? What areas provide easy access to rail
lines and ports? What are the best locations for
easy access from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C.
and New York City? Point and click to learn why
Greater Philadelphia offers the best locations
for doing business. Needs Location
Assessment With so many factors involved in the
corporate location process, how can Greater
Philadelphia stand out and demonstrate its
overall advantage as a place to do business?
Select Greater Philadelphia can offer a free
online needs and location assessment to its
target audiences that will provide a high level
of service and communicate the regions assets.
Users will be asked a series of 20-30 questions
to identify their corporate location needs.
Questions will cover transportation, workforce,
industry, financial and other parameters.
Questions will be based on yes/no or factor of
importance answers rather than hard numbers. At
the end of the questions, the Web site will
generate a report detailing how Greater
Philadelphia can fulfill the users needs.

BlueCast video content into the Web site for
