Small Victories

The "Small Victories" campaign set out to increase awareness and preference for the Lottery's newest updated Scratch product. A consumer insight about the pleasant diversion Scratch provides led to the positioning of "Scratch can make your day." To get this message to the target audience, a combination of TV and media near point-of-sale helped ensure it was heard and acted upon . This comprehensive communication program tripled advertising awareness, and helped dramatically increase it sales and per-capita spending.

Buzz on the street made us think that we could use the season premiere of "Ab Fab" to attract a larger audience to Comedy Central (or that we should see an ear doctor.) And sweetie, darling, the result were absolutely fabulous. The show premiered with a 2.5 rating, 25% over our goal, and networking ratings are up 42%. We skipped the ear doctor appointment.
