The Brief

In 2010, UPS started to introduce ‘new logistics’ as platform to talk a value proposition in price driven category to senior-level decision makers aged 30-50 in SMB business. The customers who know UPS have a favorable impression of the company and our services. However, • The purpose of 2010 campaign is to tell consumers what logistics is, what the difference between logistics and express and what the advantages of UPS are. • While, we didn’t talk much about the relevance between consumers themselves and logistics and what UPS can serve for them, which leads to that consumers find disconnected.

Describe how the promotion developed from concept to implementation

We use story of the delivery of Terracotta Warriors as a unique and vivid case study, to articulate UPS core value proposition, and better demonstrate how UPS logistics service can benefit SMB’s global expansion. • AWARENESS: Leverage upon awareness as generated and drive consumers through to consideration by providing a platform where they can learn more. • CONSIDERATION: Educate them about the depth and breadth of UPS’ services within Technology and Global Network to drive consideration and ultimately conversion.
