42 42 IV. TOOLBOX FY15

43 43 CAMPAIGN “YOU & WE” CREATIVE IDEA 5 visuals that … –Define five different fields of action –Are open to transport different contents (headlines) –Put people in the centre (customer centricity) –Can be applied internationally Agreement on … –Big Business –Medium-sized Business –Production Printing –Digital Workplace –Corporate Motif/ Why Konica Minolta?

44 44 CAMPAIGN “YOU & WE” CREATIVE IDEA / MECHANISM The “YOU”-part of the campaign always addresses a specific and crucial need of a customer. The customer is in the focus (“customer centricity”). The “WE”-part provides the solution to customers needs – preferably a real innovative one. We give the answer (“Giving Shape to Ideas”). This approach makes the campaign effective for both brand building and sales.

45 45 CAMPAIGN “YOU & WE” CREATIVE IDEA / TOPICS For the “YOU & WE” mechanic it is paramount to address real issues of our customers and to provide answers that are as good and as specific as possible. The topics may range from a rather broad approach such as "How can I make my workflows more effective?” to more detailed needs such as "I need to implement web-to-print technology in my existing hardware”. Because of its versatility in content the “YOU & WE” campaign can be used for any given subject. If it does not fit properly, it means we either have no customer need or no appropriate answer. In both cases we should re-consider communication.

46 46 CAMPAIGN “YOU & WE” CREATIVE IDEA / LOOK Visually, the campaign always consists of a ”YOU"-headline and a ”WE"-headline. –The “YOU-headline” always begins with the word “YOU”. –The “WE”-headline always begins with “WE”. Besides colour coding and typography, an important part of the campaign look is to constantly connect the two headlines with a line and a specific icon that signifies the topic. The campaign look is specifically created to match all given measures of advertising and communication – from digital display advertising, websites and social media to print ads, brochures, videos up to fairs – in every market.

47 47 CAMPAIGN “YOU & WE” CREATIVE IDEA / LOOK / MOTIF 1: BIG BUSINESS

55 55 CAMPAIGN “YOU & WE” OVERALL MEDIA TASK Maximize media efficiency to push branding and address the target group decision makers.

56 56 CAMPAIGN “YOU & WE” BASIC PAID MEDIA INTRO Based on the media budget for FY 15 we need more than ever an effective media strategy that uses the right communication measure at the right time: –Offline media measures such as print ads in specialized publications, newspapers or magazines do not sufficiently reach our specified target groups based on the given media budget and current goals. –Offline media measures such as out of home advertising with billboards or screens at high frequent places (i.e. airports) will possibly reach segments of our target groups based on the given media budget and current goals but costs are not proportional to the expected outcome. –Online media measures such as Search Engine Marketing (SEM) leverage existing relevant web search of our target audiences and generates visibility in Google. It is the most efficient paid media approach given the current media budget.  Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is not paid media. It generates visibility in Google and optimizes all of our digital marketing activities.  Search Engine Advertising (SEA) funnels 100% active search demand and extends any other push campaign. –Online media measures such as Performance Display Marketing in the Google Display Network generates reach within our target groups and retargets potential clients.

57 57 CAMPAIGN “YOU & WE” BASIC PAID MEDIA AT A GLANCE Target group reachCurrent budget matchLong-term usage Print Ads OOH (i.e. airports) SEM (SEO/SEA) Display Marketing
