Big Ideas!!!!

One other thing we'd like for everyone to contribute to the 'blog are some creative, fun and BIG ideas to help us win! We're going to have an ideation brainstorm on Monday with the core pitch team, and would love to get everyone to contribute to this session.

Our assignments, in a nutshell, are as follows:

Kmart: Provide a fully integrated multi-channel strategy and tactical media plan to improve awareness and traffic to Kmart throughout Holiday 2007

Sears: Provide a fully integrated multi-channel strategic and tactical media plan for the Home Appliance category at Sears across the three phases of the consumer decision funnel: planning, purchase and post-purchase services.

With that said, if you have any ideas, please post them in the comments section or feel free to email to me, Alan and Jeff.... and they don't have to be limited to online media either- big, small, cross-channel, TV, print, in-store, out of home, email, radio, whatever you think would fit in the mix, let us know!

Cheers,
A & A (&J)

As I discussed in my texts. I think some BIG ideas is to start off the holiday season witn some branding, get people THINKING Kmart. During the world series, we could get ESPN/Fox Sports to build out a special Section called the "Kmart K Kount". In this section we make a Viral contest where people can guess how mank K's a pitcher will get in the game. We can do it from the Start of the series to then end, or just the World Series itself.

This will help generate awareness of Kmart right before the thanksgiving/holiday season!

We could also double back with a Die Hard sponsorship of the "diehard fan of the game". This could help people before the busy family travel time.

You said think big and Money was not an issue! Hope all is well in ChiTown! See you Wed!
