22 Investment Model Excerpt

23 Five Basic Criteria Were Used For Determining “Investment” Markets Brand Volume 30% MC/bbl 25% Industry Volume15% Brand Share15% Brand Trend15% 12 MMT 7.5% YTD 7.5%

24 Tier Breaks Were Established For Varying Levels Of Investment Brand A example: Tier 1 = 12 markets representing 35% of volume Tier 2 = 26 markets representing 25% of volume Tier 3 = 24 markets representing 15% of volume 60 75% 60 75%

25 For Each Tier, An Investment Model Was Established For each Tier 1 Brand A market: 1. Estimate the cost of a XXXX TRP radio plan. 2. Assume that XX% of the local marketing investment is spent against radio. 3. Derive a local marketing spending target, i.e., divide Step 1 by Step 2. 4. Adjust spending targets upward if market indexes highly on Hispanic population, LDAC-24 population growth, or is a designated competitive target attack/defend market.

26 Fixed Commitments and Shortfalls were Identified and Accommodated Brand B Example: Contract spending in 4 markets exceeds the total recommended local marketing investment: City A Covered cost of contracts plus City B equivalent of XXXX radio TRPS X X% City C City D Covered cost of contracts plus normal Tier 1 spending

27 General Overview –Investment recommendation was based on a weighted average derived from the investment model plus added emphasis for the following brand imperatives. –The template identified XX investment markets that account for XX% of the brand’s volume. Six additional markets were added based on brand imperatives. –The Brand A investment for 2001 is $XX million or XX% of the local marketing budget. –Contracts account for XX% ($XX MM) of the investment. –$XX mm was removed from the optimum model to cover contract overages in certain markets. Brand A LOCAL MARKETING INVESTMENT STRATEGY

28 Tier 1 Spending Path Allocate resources against complete array of local investment opportunities. Local radio OOH Marquis sports/music/event sponsorships. –Activation funding budget. Hispanic programming/sponsorships. National promotion localization funding. Local fairs/festivals/sponsorship funding. Local ground-up promotions budget. Key channel initiative fund. –On-premise –C-store –Supers/liquors Brand A LOCAL MARKETING INVESTMENT STRATEGY

33 Two problems –Fuzziness and slippage along the line –Somebody has to execute this stuff

34 An Illustration

35 It all comes down to choices “The essence of strategy is what not to do.” Michael Porter, “What is Strategy”, HBR “Not choosing means creating managerial complexity that results in doing business with yourself, rather than with your customers” Michael Treacy & Fred Wiersema Discipline of Market Leaders Discipline of Market Leaders

36 Strategy is a means, not an end Mediocre strategy well executed trumps a great strategy poorly executed What are you willing to drop to get what you want? –Have to be able to say NO

37 Do a few, unique, things really well Define what success looks like Align the air war and ground war Mobilize troops Measure & reward results Share accountability

38 Impact = I 3 Innovation X Integration X Intensity
