Fyodor Dostoyevsky 6 w ho w e a r e We’re the first name in CRM response-driven marketing. who we are “Results-driven marketing communications rooted in real-world insights and driven by proven techniques.” Who we are With 50+ years of innovation, creativity and analytics, we transform businesses – delivering digital, data and creative solutions through our network of 150+ offices in 60+ countries and 19 companies specializing in CRM, social, mobile, local and performance marketing. Our network is seamlessly linked by a common philosophy that helps transform the way our clients do business. We are ranked by Advertising Age as the #1 DM/CRM agency in the world. In Canada, we’re a nimble team of 60 employees in Toronto, providing integrated marketing and CRM solutions to a wide range of clients, both global and local, across B2B and B2C. We tap into our global network for best practices and shared learning. And we work closely with local network partners Y&R, Blast Radius and iconmobile for brand planning, web development and social and mobile marketing when needed for our clients. No question, Wunderman has unparalleled expertise in delivering targeted, relevant messages to prospects and customers that generate measurable results across all channels. It’s in our DNA. After all, our founder, Lester Wunderman, coined the term “Direct Marketing”. True, the strategy and tools can be complex, but the philosophy is simple: we work hard to create better, more relevant and engaging conversations that attract and retain highvalue consumers. We listen, we connect and we grow relationships. 9 We listen, respond, listen some more and continue to refine. How we do it At Wunderman, we live “Accountable CRM for the Whole Consumer” with our clients, unlocking those unique value exchanges that truly deepen consumer engagement. We uncover and engage “the Whole Consumer”. This idea transforms how we think about direct and digital marketing. It makes every touch point and every interaction important. It makes content critical, and it creates emotional connections that result in measurable improvements to loyalty and revenue. Addressing “The Whole Consumer” provides the framework for us to eliminate marketing fragmentation, and orchestrate and execute one marketing plan through multiple channels. We are strategic and innovative with data at our core, discovering changing consumer beliefs and behaviours and creatively transforming how our clients engage with consumers. We know the power of analytics, modelling and optimization of data, and we are passionate about sharing accountability with our clients for their business results. 10 One brand, one voice We understand the importance of one unique voice. While brand advertising must define brand image, our work must be a tangible expression of the brand experience, so alignment is key – whatever the channel. After all, if you’re not speaking in one voice to your audience, can they really hear what you’re saying? That’s why we’re proud of the fact that many of our most successful initiatives, such as our work for Rogers in the past and Kraft and Microsoft today, have been done in conjunction with agencies that are both inside and outside our own network. Acquire with intent to retain We have extensive experience in creating and executing acquisition and lead generation campaigns. In collaboration with our clients, we use data segmentation, data mining and modelling techniques to help enhance data effectiveness. We also assist clients like Kraft Foodservice and Microsoft in building their own prospect lists in-house through opportunities like list purchases, e-newsletter sign-ups, recipes and contests. Retain with intent to profit By combining CRM, direct, digital, social and analytics all under one roof, we use the full force of our capabilities to drive changes in audience attitudes and behaviour. Pulling insights from historical data is key to profitable retention. Our CRM planners, along with our Marketing Sciences team, are experts in finding these insights – and in ensuring that the right data is tracked and reported to maximize acquisition and retention efforts. We invite our audience to tell us what they want – we listen, respond, listen some more and continue to refine. The result is marketing that’s more direct than ever – and more successful than ever, too. shared accountability Our approach to client services is based on our guiding principle of Shared Accountability. More than just a business philosophy, it is a way of working that creates joint ownership, instills partnership at all levels of the organization and, ultimately, leads to better business outcomes. We bring an authentic listening and a collaborative spirit to our relationship with you as a client. Our collaboration begins with a team structure aligned with your needs and continues throughout all of our interactions. We will listen and, from this listening, we will provide recommendations and perspectives that continually deepen our understanding of your organization, and ultimately the agency’s value to you, as an experienced and trusted partner. Equally key is our nimbleness in complex partner environments and our ability to thrive while working within complex client organizations. We follow a collaborative, mature approach when interacting with your organization and partners. Excellence in delivery Of course, even the best plans fall flat without excellence in execution. We have an unwavering commitment to quality assurance that ensures reliable delivery of services that are consistently errorfree. Our Project Management team works collaboratively with all agency resources to ensure excellence and efficiency for all campaigns, from strategy and brief through to creative development, production, delivery and follow-up campaign analysis. Compensation Structure We’re very excited about the opportunity to work with Shaw Communications, and we’re here to help on any size of project. We suggest, in the early stages of our relationship, that we propose a blended rate that would apply to all Wunderman team members from the Managing Director on down. Once a project or two is assigned and we have an understanding of scope and budget, we will work collaboratively with you to determine resources required and develop this blended rate for agency fees. All studio, printing, postage and other out-of-pocket expenses are estimated for approval with no further mark-up. If, in the future, you were to engage with Wunderman on a larger annual scope of work, we would work with you to determine the most appropriate compensation structure to deliver exceptional value and efficiencies to Shaw Communications. Our team People and relationships are truly the heart of our business, and the all-important “chemistry” between clients and their agencies is essential for long-lasting and impactful business partnerships. On the following pages you will meet, at least on paper, the people that we have selected as key to delivering for Shaw Communications.

S It’s a simple formula and one that serves our clients well. Lester Wunderman 18 W h at w e d o All the right people in all the right places. How we work We’re structured to allow for a collaborative, interconnected and multidisciplinary approach anchored by an Account Management and a Project Management lead. We’ve combined strengths in Strategy, Creative and Marketing Sciences to provide one voice to you, to your partners and to your consumers. Each discipline will be supported by a subject-matter expert, enabling us to match our best talent to each client’s specific business objectives. The main client contact is the Account Management lead, while on the inside, the Project Management lead is key to ensuring executional excellence across projects. what we do Take a look at the organizational chart below. This group supports all aspects of a project from brief through to results reporting, and has a flexible level of engagement depending on a client’s individual needs. We are always looking for innovative ways to find, reach and engage audiences. EXECUTIVE LEAD ACCOUNT LEAD PROJECT MANAGEMENT LEAD CREATIVE LEAD STRATEGIC SERVICES LEAD MARKETING SCIENCES LEAD PRINT & DIGITAL PRODUCTION LEADS 21 We have an unwavering commitment to quality and consistently deliver work that is error-free. Account Management A dedicated Account Service team is assigned to each client to oversee all projects and ensure the client’s needs are being met on a daily basis. This team is responsible for various aspects of a client’s business, including strategy, execution, forecasting and budgets, regular business reviews, status meetings and quarterly audits with the Creative team. We guarantee each Account person has a strong understanding of your business, challenges and opportunities. We will continually provide solution-focused ideas that fit your budget and needs at any time. The Account Service team works with Project Management to guide them across engagement with all of the departments, including Creative, Production, Marketing Sciences and any third-party or partner agencies. The Account Service lead is responsible for ensuring the right resource mix is assigned to a client’s business and projects. 22 Project Management Our Project Management team is responsible for project execution, including scheduling, trafficking, quality assurance, budget management and ongoing project communication between Account Management, Creative, Studio, Marketing Sciences and Production. Our Project Managers focus on organizing the required resources and controlling changes throughout the project. The Project Managers facilitate the project execution process and assign resources and responsibilities to each project task. They effectively track deadlines and alert the team to key approval dates in a timely manner, as well as identifying and refining internal processes to facilitate workflow. Quality assurance is everyone’s job, but we do have dedicated QA teams for Creative, Data, Digital and Production. Our corporate commitment to operational excellence is demonstrated by our global process re-engineering initiatives: • First global agency to adopt Lean Six Sigma process (already implemented in Canada) • Undertook ISO certification, as required of all Ford agencies globally We also use Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Project. MS SharePoint is an online collaborative tool that facilitates workflows and is used for document management; it facilitates and expedites our internal circulation approval process. MS Project is a tool used by our Project Managers to schedule multiple project timelines within a campaign, allowing for various views (by task or by responsibility for agency and for client). It has the ability to monitor all stages of workflow for numerous projects simultaneously. Creative Our overarching principle for creative: Deliver innovative creative strategies that change consumer behaviour and build relationships. Wunderman has been at the forefront of developing direct and digital industry best practices in many cases. We’ve created programs that get customers to raise their hands, pick up the phone, go online or go in-store in greater numbers. But a change in customer behaviour isn’t achieved simply by plugging in the appropriate best practice. It happens by creating compelling and relevant direct response programs based on key customer insights that inspire and engage customers to take action. We create conversations and connections that lead to long-term relationships. Wunderman has amassed a formidable team of creative professionals, all pros in their respective channel disciplines but all acutely aware of the need for in-market integration. Led by Creative Director Allen Kwong, our clients are assured hands-on senior leadership on all creative strategy and development. As a benchmark of creative effectiveness, our work consistently wins awards given by the direct marketing industry, both in Canada and internationally. Here is the process Wunderman’s Creative team counts on to develop great creative: 1. Assign the Right Team: The Creative Director assigns a team of Art Director(s) and Copywriter(s) based on their category experience and level of expertise in the designated channel of communication – be it direct mail, digital or sales promotion. 2. Review the Challenge: The assigned Creative team participates in a general business challenge brainstorm with all members of the Product group – including Account Services, Project Management, Strategy/Planning, Media, Production – to review the client brief and collectively distill the most effective business and creative strategy. That’s when an agency creative brief is written by the Account Services and Strategy/Planning leads. Once approved by all stakeholders, the brief is finalized and delivered to the Creative team. 3. C reative Brainstorm: The Creative team brainstorms intensively to hash out a range of ways to answer the key business challenge(s). In these sessions, there are no “bad ideas” – this invites a fluid exchange and helps bring a greater number of concepts to the table. The team then draws tight tissue layouts with proposed headlines, which are reviewed by the Creative Director who selects the ones to be taken to the next round. We also invite clients to collaborate with us at this stage, to determine ideas that move forward. 4. Creative Development: These concepts are then fleshed out further. Design directions and copy platforms are developed, with the Creative team layering in any number of cultural, historical, business or design references to ensure that the concepts resonate with the audience while still meeting the client’s brand voice, tone and manner. 5. Internal Creative Review: Again, the Creative Director reviews the proposed concepts to ensure that the creative strategy is aligned with business objectives. They’re then presented to the internal agency team to make sure the messaging maps back to the client strategy and fits within the client’s production budgets. 6. Presentation to Client: Clients are typically shown two to three concepts that represent a range of possible approaches to executing the creative strategy. Depending on client preference, creative is taken to a level of finish that includes Mac layouts, heads, subheads and copy direction. What’s essential is that the client has enough information about each concept to make an informed choice. 7. Revisions to Concept: Based on client feedback, concepts are revised until the approved creative is ready for production. Some clients prefer to work collaboratively, while some choose to be more removed from the process. We’re flexible in accommodating both approaches – whatever works to deliver best-in-class creative to our client partners. 8. Creative Post-Mortem: It’s our policy to review the performance of all Wundermandeveloped communications. As direct marketers, we continue to learn and refine our creative approaches and techniques to ensure continuous improvement. 23 Strategy & Planning Details. We put a lot of energy into gathering facts, mining data, tapping into feelings, interpreting perceptions, evaluating the market and much more. We scour your sources. We leverage local, national and global data, as well as best practices. And we conduct field research so that we can inform and validate every strategic opportunity. Seven things we do to get at the insights that drive your business results are: 1. W e listen to understand your business. Consumers drive everything—especially ideas. So, we ask questions. We listen. And we turn it all into insights that give us an accurate picture of who your customers are and what they want. And we do all of this on an ongoing basis so that, as their needs and wants change, we can continually target them with the right message at the right time. 2. We have an integrated planning team dedicated to you. We bring together the right team for each program, with input from Marketing Sciences, Digital Strategy, Media & Optimization, Social and Mobile—in short, whatever disciplines are needed to effectively plan each unique campaign. By having access to a broad range of experience and expertise, we can ensure that no opportunity is left unexplored. 24 3. We use a wide number of research tools. We use proprietary tools such as our Brand Asset Valuator and industry sources like Forrester and eMarketer, and we work with partners like Millward Brown, 360i, Kantar Retail, Data Monitor, and Synovate to ensure that we’re learning as much about your consumer as possible. We also have tools such as Wunderman Search Advantage, Radian6, 9-Cell Matrix and After the Click—just to name a few! We’d be happy to share as much as we can about these tools and how they may be of benefit. A solid understanding of customer motivators, preferred content and engaging offers that worked in the past help us to figure out what we should be focused on moving forward. 4. We keep on top of trends and emerging technologies by leveraging our global network. We understand the importance of staying on top of trends and emerging technologies. It’s critical for a company like yours. And for us, too. It’s about understanding not just what’s happening today, but also anticipating what will happen tomorrow—and the potential impact on the lives of consumers and the way in which we communicate with them. 5. We enhance these insights by mining data based on actual consumer behaviour. This comes from a variety of powerful sources such as consumer databases, retail purchases, segmentation models and web analytics tools. Actionable insights are driven by looking at customer purchasing patterns, online and offline behaviour, propensity to purchase, lifetime value and tenure—to mention a few. This helps us to understand customer needs and develop insight-driven marketing strategies to target customers who are more likely to respond and to be engaged and profitable. 6. We share what we learn. Once our integrated planning team has analyzed the information, we’ll present you with the key implications that are relevant to your program. From generating reports to RSS feeds and more, we deliver our findings to you. And of course, as we uncover new insights, we are happy to share them across all of your agency partners through an integrated brief that informs the creative platform, communication strategy and plan. More importantly, we make sure that we build what we learn into our deliverables— whether it’s a large annual plan, a monthly data and analytics dashboard, a database email append opportunity or an email creative presentation. We make sure we back up our recommendations with real-life relevance. Using our proprietary knowledge exchange, we can develop team Wikis for clients that will house: 7. We are relentless in our pursuit of knowledge. Planning really is an ongoing journey of discovering, probing, questioning, reflecting, thinking… and thinking some more. We are passionate about gaining real insights into your consumers. We believe that, when we have real insights, we have the right picture of who we’re speaking with and what makes them tick. This way, we can keep them happy, keep them coming back—and keep them talking about you to drive real business results. Strategic Approach – The Whole Consumer Our approach can best be described by our strategic framework called “The Whole Consumer”, using customer insights to identify segments and develop customer-centric communcations and improve business results.

From acquisition to welcome programs to cross-selling and loyalty programs—we measure it all. And when it comes to test-and-learn for optimization, our closed-loop data process uses a combination of proprietary methodologies and established industry best practices to develop key performance metrics. These metrics influence channel and media mix strategies, predictive models, insights from analysis, continuous feedback through campaign trackers and postcampaign learning. What does it all mean to you? Maximized ROI and optimized future campaign initiatives. 27 People no longer simply consume media. they engage with it, and often create it—sharing with their peers, and acting as critics or champions for brands. Digital Services How do you deliver an effective message to your audience in an environment that’s constantly shifting and evolving? That’s the question we ask ourselves every day, whether we’re producing a new corporate website, a multi-cell email campaign, a mobile app, an earned-search media strategy or a social media strategy. We offer end-to-end digital services from the planning, design, development and optimization of online marketing programs to tactical campaigns consisting of online advertising, email marketing, search marketing and social networking, including user-generated content, blogs, RSS and viral marketing. All working in concert with all other touch points in your marketing communications mix. We are always looking for innovative ways to find, reach and engage audiences. Using our expertise in design, technology, customer experience and social marketing, we architect, build, deploy and manage complex marketing platforms that power some of the world’s most exciting web experiences for brands such as Microsoft, Ford, Nokia, Nike and Starbucks. Our approach is to find new value at the intersection of the brand, operations and our clients’ core products and services. Specifically, we emphasize rethinking core offerings through the analysis of customer insights, market trends, new technology and user-centred design. Email Marketing We are the strategic, creative, development and deployment partner for the majority of our clients. Whether that means producing large integrated email campaigns or oneoff email projects, rigorous execution of high-volume touches, or complex programs with multiple message versions, we are experienced in developing all types of email. This includes e-newsletters, transactional emails, trigger-based emails, promotional emails and everything in between. We offer audience selection and targeting consultation, dynamic content management, campaign and data automation, business rule setup, QA and user testing and deliverability monitoring. We also provide full Creative Copywriting, Design and Production services. And since many email campaigns drive consumers to microsites, landing pages and websites, we also have deep experience in building these online properties. 28 Mobile It’s easy with the right team. Adding mobile to your marketing plan enables and enforces the traditional and digital channels you’re already using. We often work with our mobile agency partner, iconmobile, to create campaigns that include SMS, mobile web, app design and development, couponing alerts, data and more. Mobile is increasingly becoming an integral part of an all-up goto-market strategy, linking media channels, creating a bond between offline and online media, and enabling users to interface with your brand at any point in the lifecycle. Social Consumers have changed how they interact with brands, how they research products and, ultimately, how they transact online. At Wunderman, we are forging a new approach to engage more consumers, using Bought media to drive consumers to Owned destinations. There we create engaging content that drives consumers to connect with others about the brand, resulting in Earned media. And we engage them in conversations over time, moving them up the value chain while upselling and cross-selling along the way. We use Social to magnify what we get from our Bought media spending, and we also create additional value by applying CRM principles. At the Owned properties, we capture customer information or transactions in a database.

Each Wunderman client has a dedicated Production Manager assigned to the business. This manager would be responsible for creating project specifications, scheduling, estimating, vendor selection, purchasing, providing data processing and imaging instructions, quality control and cost management. Our Production team keeps on top of industry innovations and adopts the latest technologies to maximize productivity and provide cost efficiencies. Wunderman has been purchasing a large volume of direct response print, imaging and lettershop services for over 40 years, and we work with an extensive list of best-in-class suppliers. 30 We are accustomed to working with preferred vendors of our clients. Our Production team executes campaigns across a wide variety of media – from small, highly targeted three-dimensional mailings to large-quantity, multi-segmented and highly personalized direct mail. We implement a strict quality-and budget-control process for every program, and we work seamlessly with multiple partners and vendors. Quality Assurance Tools For each project, the Production team develops a project specification workbook that lists the print specifications and output requirements of each component. This workbook is then provided electronically to our Studio. From this supplied workbook, our prebuild program, “Triple Triangle”, allows our studio files to automatically build based on the workbook specs provided, increasing speed and eliminating the risk of Studio input error. Studio Services Wunderman’s Print Studio consists of Designers and Proofreaders who specialize in direct response mechanical art, file preparation, retouching and image asset management. Dedicated Studio Designers are assigned to each business and follow a rigorous studio process structured to provide fluid communication between all departments, ensuring quality assurance. Our Studio process is an integrated interdepartmental process that streamlines project revisions and approvals, ensuring that all parties review and approve each step of the project flow. Wunderman will tailor workflow processes to meet each client’s time-to-market realities. Additionally, to meet client demands and efficiencies, we’ve established three different paths for flowing work into Studio. These paths were developed to provide time savings and cost efficiencies for the particular circumstances of each project. Path A: Fast Track Existing layout or template: Minor copy and layout changes are made in Studio, resulting in fast turnaround and cost efficiencies. Path B: Direct to Studio Adaptation of existing creative: Layout is designed and built by Studio designers with Creative direction, resulting in time and cost savings. Path C: Creative Development Conceptual creative is developed by the Creative team and handed over to the Studio for mechanical build. French Creative Development and Adaptation Wunderman has deep experience producing creative that resonates with francophones across Canada. Through our French-language partners, we ensure that campaigns speak to the unique sensibilities of the Quebec and Canadian French-speaking markets for Ford, Kraft and others. Where appropriate, we engage experts to develop parallel creative streams for French-language markets. We also produce seamless adaptations of national campaigns. The decision to adapt or develop unique creative in French is based on the combination of market conditions, consumer insight, and, of course, the marketing objectives of our clients. Financial Management Account Management and Project Management teams share the responsibility of financial management across all projects. The Project Management team handles the micro-level requirements, including estimate and scope development, project budget tracking, budget control reporting and reconciliation. They are also actively engaged in weekly work-in-progress reviews of all jobs. The Account Management team handles the macro-level requirements, such as forecasting, retainer tracking and reconciliation, quarterly client reporting and staff planning. Financial control of estimates is a core discipline of Project Management, and all projects are executed with exacting precision. No budget is too big or too small. Estimates are received by Production and Account Services before being sent to our clients. When we receive an approved estimate, it is entered into our general accounting system. Then, based on our agreements, pre-bill amounts between 50% and 100% may be issued. Billings are conducted on a monthly basis, with credits and debits applied immediately. Projects are invoiced, actualized, and recognized within 60 to 90 days of receipt of the signed estimate. Our accounting system enables Project Managers to view and reconcile the status of any project, at any moment, in “real time”. For purposes of cost accounting, we use Donovan Data Systems, an industry-leading accounting system. This system is fully integrated into the operation by tracking hours according to job, product and client codes. We produce and analyze monthly cost reports to ensure that mutual business objectives are being met, and work closely with you to reconcile and re-evaluate when required. Our systems feature real-time reporting which, by automatically tracking hours online, ensures the highest levels of quality and accuracy for direct costs analyses. A detailed budget control report, highlighting budgets as well as monthly and year-to-date expenditures, is also issued monthly – or more frequently if requested. 31 dvertising must change A behaviour, not just attitudes.

Kraft Foodservice is the business-tobusiness division of Kraft Foods, selling products through distributors to independent restaurant operators, a highly profitable customer segment. Kraft’s primary relationship was with distributors, who were increasingly promoting their own private-label and competitive brands. During our discovery phase, we learned that distributors were cost conscious, time constrained, and appreciative of rewards. They were seeking new solutions to help them drive growth. They valued advice on both recipes and their business. And they were looking for ways to connect with other industry professionals. We needed to transform Kraft into a trusted partner who cares about owner/ operator’s success and shares a passion for food and the foodservice industry. This multimedia, bilingual program would be designed to protect against defection, increase sales, and ensure mutual long-term growth. THE SOLUTION The Kraft Works Program, their first ever cross-brand B2B CRM initiative. The program was hinged on our CRM strategy and content development, which was targeted directly to restaurant operators and featured culinary and business tips, product information, food trends, and rewards and incentives. Kraft Works is distributed through a variety of channels including a dedicated website, email, a printed magazine, and a Facebook page. We continue to evolve the program today with social media that engages the audience, including a YouTube channel that houses videos of the Kraft Culinary Team performing demos and tips. As the program grew, we quickly realized that operator information was key to determining relevant communication channels, offers, and messaging. And with various sources of data to sort through, we knew that a robust, centralized data repository would simplify the process and help take the Kraft Works program to the next level. That’s why we designed and built a CRM Analytical Data Mart. It consolidated disparate data and allowed Kraft to “go shopping” for any operator they wanted to reach. The Data Mart allowed for information to be crossreferenced, ensuring accuracy and reliability, and enabled us to link data points across sources and see more holistic operator profiles, purchasing behaviour and trends. THE RESULTS 158% lift in sales from Kraft Works members, who doubled the spending of non-members. By analyzing operator behaviour, our communications became more targeted, more relevant and more engaging. And Kraft Works continues to grow today. In addition to raising brand awareness among operators, results also show that the program is impacting behaviour and ultimately increasing sales of Kraft products. Top-of-mind awareness of Kraft products is 250% higher for members, and 50% would recommend the Kraft Works program to colleagues. What makes us extra proud is that, based on the success of this program in the Canadian market, it was rolled out to the U.S. as well, and we continue to lead the program across North America. Website Monthly email Facebook and YouTube channel 37 b2b MICROSOFT ADVERTISING WINDOWS LIVE TRADE WHY IT’S RELEVANT TO YOU Effectively drove sales leads by engaging the audience within the product itself—the medium was the message. THE OBJECTIVE Generate meetings with media buyers to sell Windows Live as a superior advertising vehicle. THE SOLUTION A fully digital “top secret mission” that led media buyers through Windows Live properties. Millions of Canadians love to stay connected and informed with Windows Live applications like Hotmail and Messenger. Despite having robust advertising capabilities and a broad reach, media buyers were not embracing Windows Live properties and media sales revenue was not growing. In fact, compared to other online media properties, Windows Live properties were underperforming. A group of 300 media buyers were handpicked using data intelligence based on their media purchasing history, client roster and profitability. Rather than sending the prospects a cookie-cutter invitation, a compelling mission was developed. Prospects were charged with finding their Microsoft Advertising Associate – who was missing in action (MIA). Upon successful completion of the mission, the prospect would be rewarded with an Xbox 360 console. At each stage of the mission, the participant would engage with Hotmail, Messenger and Sharing, gathering clues (i.e.: key product features) that would lead them to their MIA and their reward. The primary objective for Microsoft Advertising was to generate sales meetings. Specific campaign goals were to achieve an end-to-end participation rate of 20%. Because the ultimate goal was stated upfront – a meeting with a rep – Microsoft Advertising expected this to hinder participation rates. The campaign launched with a unique Postcard. A follow-up email drove participants to a Personal Media Portal that was “taken over” by the MIA agency to deliver next steps. Participants needed to complete missionrelated tasks using Windows Live applications. Information about media opportunities, like behavioural targeting, was seeded throughout these interactions. Successful participants arrived at topsecretlocation.ca, where they had to unlock the site, reveal the identity of the MIA and arrange to claim their Xbox. 38 THE RESULTS Over 70 meetings were booked with 27% of buyers completing their mission. The campaign elicited response metrics well above the industry average with an email open rate hit of 67%, a click-through rate of 57% and roughly 70% of those who clicked going on to complete the campaign. Postcard 39 Website 40 Email Personal Media Portal and Search 41 b2c SIRIUS conversion program WHY IT’S RELEVANT TO YOU Digitally-produced, personalized DM increased conversion rates while decreasing marketing costs. 42 THE OBJECTIVE Achieve a 20% lift in converting trials to paid subscriptions – for less than $7.00/customer. SIRIUS was offering free trial periods to new car buyers, but was finding that when it came time to turn trials into paid subscriptions, consumers weren’t even aware they had the free trial. Converting these short-term free trials into paying subscribers was a major initiative for SIRIUS, and represented their primary source of new business. Our objective was to achieve a major lift in conversions versus their previous campaign. THE SOLUTION A multichannel campaign that reached customers at key points during trial. THE RESULTS 40% lift in conversion rates for less than $5.25/customer. We wanted to position SIRIUS as consumers’ only entertainment option. Our strategy? Keep key prospects informed across all channels, and provide them with personalized information and offers at key moments during the trial and post-trial periods. We rocked the very foundation of the previous campaign, with results that spoke loud and clear. A 30% increase in conversions versus the previous year – some segments achieving lifts of nearly 40%. And, production costs that were a full 25% under budget. Our first point of contact – the Welcome Kit – was the most important, and needed to stand apart from mailbox clutter. We set about creating a bold, non-standard package that was digitally produced to provide a deeper level of personalization. This same level of personalization continued throughout the customer’s trial, providing information and offers through direct mail, email and outbound telemarketing channels.

Coin collecting isn’t what it used to be and the Royal Canadian Mint knew it. In fact, a variety of internal and external changes were transforming the business. From a product perspective, the Mint had introduced a range of expanded product lines beyond their traditional coin collector items, including gift products and a lineup of coins for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games. On the customer front, the majority of revenue was coming from a small and rapidly diminishing customer base. And finally, the Mint was tasked with meeting some very aggressive revenue and ROI targets. Our goals: •L everage cost-effective formats and channels •A cquire new customers to fill the “leaky bucket” •D evelop more sophisticated segmentation of the member base • Increase spend amongst existing customers THE SOLUTION A powerful cross-sell/up-sell and acquisition strategy based on extensive research and data-mining. We worked with the Mint to define the business problem – the need to maintain and grow its current customer base while aggressively acquiring new customers. We then worked to integrate a variety of the Mint’s data sources, such as transactional sales data, campaign history and website activity – just to name a few. We built a marketing database that was designed and hosted onsite by the Marketing Sciences team, and were then able to support campaigns and provide a single-customer view. From there, we focused on learning more – through insights from customer research and the data itself, we were able to form a set of hypotheses and re-segment the database based on customer purchasing cycles, lifetime value and tenure. This deeper understanding of the Mint’s most engaged audience helped to drive a powerful acquisition strategy, leading the way for more targeted media buying, customized creative across every channel and relevant products and offers. An overall strategy was designed for each customer segment that focused on improving key success metrics against objectives, accompanied by a 12-month communication plan with a vigorous test-and-learn approach and investment plan based on segment. Comprehensive result reports were developed to track not only the revenue and ROI, but also key engagement and loyalty metrics, such as segment migration patterns, lifetime value and repeat-purchase behaviour. And new customers were measured against time to second purchase – a key metric in predicting lifetime value. THE RESULTS Improved targeting led to an increase in marketing ROI of 232%. Revenue per customer increased by 36%. Changes to the Mint’s loyalty program drove active customers to a higher level of engagement than ever before, as 31% more customers attained the highest level of spending and were placed into the Masters Club loyalty program. Customers not only ordered more frequently throughout the year, but they were also retained at a significantly higher rate. More importantly, acquisition efforts greatly improved as new customers spent 52% more on their first order with the Mint. And the best news? The cost to acquire new customers declined by 34%!

THE SOLUTION An email solution that anticipated the customer’s needs before they asked. THE RESULTS Customer engagement was more than double the industry average. When customers leave a Rogers store with their shiny new cell phones in hand, they’re excited! But very soon, they realize there’s a lot about their phone that they don’t know and their engagement level drops drastically. The Rogers Wireless Early Life Cycle program delivered highly targeted information to the consumer as they needed it, gradually taking them from basic knowhow to more sophisticated details about the features and functionality of their cool new phones. These weekly messages were templated and dynamically populated with information specific to each customer’s arrival date, segment (Consumer/ Business/ Youth) and handset model – right down to the colour. Key pain points were addressed, as informed by an evaluation of historical service calls. The customers interacted with these e-communications at more than double the industry and Rogers’ average open and clickthrough rates. Customer satisfaction scores were consistently high, with 73% of recipients responding enthusiastically to the program. An engaged customer is a more loyal customer, so Rogers asked us to help customers get to know their phones. Dynamic email series 49 b2b Microsoft PRIVATE CLOUD WHY IT’S RELEVANT TO YOU Innovative marketing can kickstart and increase consideration for new products, even when you’re not first to market. 50 THE OBJECTIVE Create awareness and interest for Microsoft Private Cloud in a saturated marketplace. In the private cloud space, Microsoft was playing catch-up to an already wellestablished competitor. Plus, many technical professionals did not fully understand Microsoft’s offering. Our objective was to create awareness and interest, plus drive registration for launch events across the country. THE SOLUTION A highly innovative digital and print campaign that touched on not one, but two key insights. THE RESULTS Registration for the launch event was 30% higher than projected and had to close down early. We created an entire campaign around two very important insights. Number one: that IT Pros have to stay on top of the latest technologies or risk becoming obsolete themselves. And number two: that they also need solutions to fit into their current IT investments. In essence, “Built for the Future. Ready now.” We projected 1,000 registrations for the national launch events and instead got over 1,300. In fact, with attendance lists full, we closed down registration early! A visually impactful series of rich media units, homepage takeovers, digital out-of-home, flash banners and print ads hit our target in the magazines and online locations they use most. Not to mention we achieved over 125 million impressions and over 188,379 clicks with a 0.18% CTR (well above benchmarks) and a 5.15% CAR. Email, Microsite and Rich media 51 b2c FORD F-150 Launch WHY IT’S RELEVANT TO YOU Insight-driven creative and content will generate leads while driving incremental sales. THE OBJECTIVE Sell F-150 trucks while promoting the EcoBoost™ V6 engine. THE SOLUTION Insight-driven DM and online videos that captured the toughness of the Ford engine. THE RESULTS Over $1.5M dollars in incremental sales, keeping Ford at #1. For over 40 years, the F-150 has held the half-ton pickup crown. To defend its market share and to help fuel-cost conscious drivers continue to work hard and play hard, Ford took a good, hard look at what was under the hood. The campaign had two core target markets: current F-150 drivers and drivers of competitive pickup trucks. The idea was inspired by the things that really matter to pickup truck drivers—the stuff inside. This email and DM campaign helped the F-150 maintain its lead over its competitors with the following results: Trying to lure competitive truck owners away is tough work. They are loyal to the brand of truck they drive. It’s even harder to convince these truck drivers that something new and different can actually be better. So, the campaign had to work hard to overcome these challenges: •P rove that the all-new standard V6 could do everything a V8 could and more •T he hero twin-turbo V6 had to be shown to be equal to a big V8 •P rove that a pickup could work hard and tread more lightly (and save on fuel) •T he 2011 F-150 wasn’t an all-new pickup— the chassis and interior were carried over from 2009 Our objective was to drive prospects and owners to get in and drive the 2011 F-150, generate incremental sales and achieve a lift over the control group of unmailed prospects and customers. 52 The DM featured an “x-ray” design that revealed the things under the hood that are important to our buyers. The piece included quotes from respected journalists and competitive charts. And, to prove that these engines have power and toughness, the campaign drove prospects online to a series of EcoBoost™ Torture Test videos. These videos proved that the EcoBoost and the rest of Ford’s new powertrains delivered everything a driver would want, including durability. Current Ford owners were selected from Ford’s customer database based on inmarketing modelling criteria which accounts for several ownership characteristics and historical migration patterns. Other targeted prospects included visitors to the Ford website who expressed interest in trucks, and consumers who signed up at various launch events and autoshows. Customers and prospects were offered a $1,000 incentive (on a perforated certificate) to purchase a new 2011 F-150. • Generated over $1.5 million in incremental sales • 75% of V6 purchasers are choosing the new EcoBoost V6 The DM piece was so effective that we then evolved the creative into a dealer brochure and a sales piece for fleet managers and also used it to generate leads at autoshows. We also developed an innovative advertorial featured on the inside front cover gatefold of key magazines that our audience reads, such as Hockey News.

Kraft Foodservice is a leading provider of food products and marketing support for the Canadian restaurant industry. Despite offering a wide variety of salad dressing products, there was a perception among restaurant owners that Kraft Foodservice only offered basic salad dressings: Caesar, Ranch and Greek. This insight represented a growth opportunity for Kraft’s salad product category, where we could change perceptions and remind restaurant owners that Kraft offers a wide variety of salad dressing products. More importantly, restaurateurs can rely on Kraft Foodservice to provide comprehensive support through trend insights, profit-building tools and real-world training. THE SOLUTION Salad 360°, a scalable program that empowered Kraft sales representatives with the tools to create more impactful connections. An online/offline tool was developed for sales representatives to demonstrate to owners/operators the profit potential of salad sales. For the business owner and operator, a microsite was built to deliver recipe information, spotlight the latest salad trends and help them think outside the box when it came to creating unique salads. THE RESULTS Incredibly positive feedback has led to continuing dialogues with restaurant owners. The program launched in 2009 with a three-year phased-rollout plan. This flexible and cost-effective approach allows the Kraft sales force to continually introduce new initiatives, content and capabilities, improve the program’s effectiveness and keep owners and operators engaged. After the first year, the response from the sales force has been overwhelmingly positive as it allows for fresh and engaging dialogues with restaurant owners. Kraft Salad 360˚ binder Website 55 b2c ROGERS FACE PAINT WHY IT’S RELEVANT TO YOU Up-selling a premium service to customers is more effective when you reinforce the value proposition with a premium DM package. 56 THE OBJECTIVE Lift response rates for the “Super Sports Pak” and achieve a sales rate of 2%. THE SOLUTION Call all sports fans with a box of face paints, a premium DM format that truly stood out. THE RESULTS The sales objective was surpassed in only three short weeks. Rogers wanted to increase subscriptions for their “Super Sports Pak” – a difficult task considering the expensive price tag: $81.84 extra a month! And having been unsuccessful at previous marketing attempts, Rogers needed us to provide them with a solution that worked. We had to gain a deeper understanding of our target audience, a.k.a., the die-hard sports fan. And once we got in their heads, the insight was clear: True fans like to show their pride. So we sent them a box of face paints and challenged them to show their true colours, with the line: “Super Sports Pak. How real fans watch the game.” We received a big cheer from sports fans and the results proved it. After a mere 16 days, the DM piece averaged a 90% lift in response over the control and over multiple test cells. And within 3 weeks, the sales objective of 2% was met and passed. The DM’s enticing premium format truly stood out in the mail, and also demonstrated the high value a “Super Sports Pak” subscription offers. This was a significant departure for Rogers who had traditionally advertised this and other specialty packages based on price. Direct mail 57 b2c XBOX customer program WHY IT’S RELEVANT TO YOU Innovative CRM strategy can improve sales, ROI, customer engagement and can even help drive future strategies. THE OBJECTIVE The mission of the program was four-fold. 1. Acquire new customers in a maturing and increasingly competitive market. 2. Increase sales when a large number of Xbox pre-paid subscribers were not renewing. 3. Increase subscription renewals at a time when a significant number of subscribers were on the brink of expiry. 4. Increase revenue per subscriber by promoting and up-selling a new game brand to existing Xbox Live members. THE SOLUTION Divide and conquer by considering each requirement individually across four separate campaigns. THE RESULTS Each campaign had its own set of results. All were hugely successful. 58 Campaign #1 Cheap Shot THE SOLUTION We developed a fun digital campaign with viral potential – and gamers responded big time. The campaign provided means for gamers to send a customized, trash-talking “Cheap Shot” to their friends who didn’t have an Xbox console. Our audience was intrigued and overwhelmingly engaged. We tracked and rewarded all participants and their friends who went out and bought a console. THE RESULTS Huge ROI was the result. Microsoft sold one new Xbox for every 1,000 members emailed. Plus, a prospect database was generated through the campaign. Website and video message 59 Campaign #2 Subscription Offer Program THE SOLUTION Leveraging the existing biweekly subscriber e-newsletter, we began to deliver frequent messaging focused on renewal and longer subscription plans. We also tapped into the database in order to specifically target lapsed subscribers, and subscribers who were expiring within the next month. What’s more, targeted offers were developed to ensure that members signed up using a credit card rather than a pre-paid card. THE RESULTS These initiatives paid off, generating a 23% lift in renewal rates and driving 12-month subscriptions to outperform offers packaged with three-month subscriptions. Email newsletter 60 Campaign #3 “I’m Gold” THE SOLUTION To tackle this challenge, targeted emails were sent to members in waves, within three months of their subscription expiry. By looking into level of engagement in our database, we were able to identify each individual’s risk of attrition, and target them with specific messaging and offers that we felt would be most relevant. These offers were tested to determine which was most effective. THE RESULTS Testing determined that offers could be decreased for more engaged customers to achieve the same renewal rates. And overall, this campaign was a true success story, generating a 125% lift in renewal rate. Emails 61 Campaign #4 Halo: ODST THE SOLUTION Delving into our database, we segmented members according to their level of engagement with the Halo franchise and likelihood to purchase. We then sent diehard fans a surprise & delight message to build excitement before the launch of this new game. The email leveraged an in-game look-and-feel and delivered the familiar Halo experience. Warm leads were generated through our biweekly e-newsletters. THE RESULTS Nearly a quarter of those who viewed the email clicked to order the new Halo: ODST game. And warm leads were also ten times as likely to play Halo: ODST. Email 62 Landing page 63 Let’s connect.
