“BE YOUR HERO’S HERO” 
Cynthia Rivera, Sabrina Argiro, Nicholas Ponce, 
Priyanka Patel, Ali Mansoor, Matilda Koroma 1
Many middle-aged men and women tend to donate and belong to many charitable/non-profit organizations, but the Fisher House 
Foundation is not included on any of their lists. Fusion Advertising’s “Be Your Hero’s Hero” campaign will bring more awareness to 
Fisher House, and will convince our target market that by donating, they will be helping America’s heroes, therefore making them a 
hero, as well. 
 Our research reveals that men over the age of 45, and women over the age of 55 are more likely to be involved with a veteran’s 
club, and are more likely to make charitable contributions. Also, men over the age of 55 who served in the armed forces, have 
made the most charitable contributions within the last 12 months. 
 It was also discovered that many people within our target have similar views on what a “hero” is to them, and veterans fit the 
description perfectly; therefore we will incorporate their perception of a hero into our campaign through media and below the line 
tactics. 
 Creative components are integrated throughout this campaign through various scenarios of injured veterans and their families. 
Print ads, billboard/airport ads, television and radio spots have been proven to be the most effective amongst our target, so we 
plan to utilize these as much as possible, and to the best of our ability. 
 Our below the line tactics will include two major galas—one in Bethesda, Maryland, and the other in New York City, a walkathon 
in Washington, D.C. and New York City, and partnerships with the Tough Mudder Race, Build-a-Bear Workshop, and Heinz 
Ketchup. 
 The family-oriented aspects of our campaign will increase awareness for Fisher House amongst our target, and will ultimately 
encourage them to donate, and in turn, be their hero’s hero.

APPEALING TO FAMILIES WILL PROVE TO BE 
SUCCESSFUL THROUGHOUT OUR CAMPAIGN.

TO DETERMINE OUR TARGET, EXTENSIVE 
RESEARCH WAS REQUIRED. 
OUR RESEARCH PROCESS 
7 
1. EXPLORE 
To market to adults 
between the ages of 
50-65, we needed to 
understand their 
values, lifestyles, and 
their donating habits. 
Through our 
extensive research, 
we uncovered a key 
shared attribute, 
which linked our 
target together. 
2. ANALYZE 
We analyzed how our 
target perceive 
heroes, as well as 
Fisher House’s 
position in the 
charitable foundation 
market. Our findings 
enabled us to 
discover Fisher 
House’s opportunity 
with our target. 
3. CONNECT 
We leveraged our 
findings to connect 
our target to the 
Fisher House 
Foundation in a way 
that reflects their 
values and lifestyles.

PEOPLE DONATE TO CHARITIES FOR 
MANY REASONS. 
 WHY DO WE DONATE? 
 We are emotionally moved by a person’s story. 
 We don’t want to feel powerless in the face of need, knowing that we can help. 
 We want to change lives. 
 We feel fortunate, and want to give back to others. 
 We will integrate these motives into our campaign in order to appeal to our 
target market, and to encourage them to donate to Fisher House.

According to our primary 
research, our target is not even 
aware of Fisher House as an 
established non-profit 
organization. To them, 
American Red Cross is their top 
of mind organization. 
Our task: to increase overall 
brand awareness for Fisher 
House Foundation. 
Cynthia and 
Sabrina
IN ORDER TO INCREASE BRAND AWARENESS, AN IN-DEPTH 
ANALYSIS OF FISHER HOUSE WAS NECESSARY. 
Strengths Weaknesses 
• Houses are located close to medical centers, so transportation is 
not needed 
• Families can stay in the houses for as long as they like 
• Received 4 out of 4 stars for 10 consecutive years on Charity 
Navigator 
• Fisher House picked up the slack when the government shutdown 
by paying the death benefits to military families who have lost a 
soldier during this time in place of the Department of Defense 
• Over $40 million dollars in contributions, gifts, and grants donated. 
• There are many veterans’ organizations in competition with Fisher 
House: Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, Operation Comfort, Aid for 
Wounded Warriors. 
• Like Fisher House, many nonprofits share the mission to support 
veterans and their families, as well: Elizabeth Dole Foundation, 
Gary Sinise Foundation, Wounded Warriors Family Support, Home 
for Our Troops. 
• Today, the Fisher House Foundation does not provide monetary 
assistance to individual service members or their families, unless 
related to the hospitalization of a service member or his or her family. 
• Encourages involvement. Volunteer opportunities: bring meals and 
snacks for residents, help with general housekeeping chores, organize 
good drives, babysitting services, holiday decorations, gardening, 
support fundraising team members during race weekends. 
• Complaints about the salary made to the president, which is approximately 
$408,889—they stated they are unlikely to volunteer or donate to this 
foundation. 
• According to one individual, she states, “Four hundred thousand a year for 
running a charity is almost oxymoronic. I’ll find one whose leadership isn’t so 
highly paid.”—One review can be read by many people, affecting their 
decision on whether or not to donate.

BEFORE CREATING A CAMPAIGN, IT IS IMPORTANT TO 
DETERMINE WHAT MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED. 
Key Insight 
Our diverse members of our target have a few things in 
common—they have similar views on what a hero is, and 
highly value family life. They react well to organizations that 
reflect these values and in-turn will convey good feelings 
after donating. 
Message 
The Fisher House Foundation’s mission is to connect 
veterans (heroes) with their loved ones during their times of 
need, and by donating, our target can become their “hero’s” 
hero. 
Tone 
Emotional, Serious, Heartfelt 
Campaign Tagline: “Be your hero’s hero” 
Brand Tagline: “Because a family’s love is good medicine” 
13 
Reasons to Believe 
A veteran is someone who is selfless and makes 
sacrifices for others. Our target market also views a 
hero in a similar sense. By combining these two 
aspects, consumers will see that a veteran is a hero 
to them. 
Positioning Statement 
Unlike other veteran-oriented nonprofit 
organizations, Fisher House strives to help the 
entire family. They do not just collect money to 
donate to veterans, they provide frees housing to 
the family of injured veterans. 
Organizing Idea 
The Be Your Hero’s Hero campaign will focus 
around images and videos of what our target views 
as heroes. We will show different ideas of popular 
hero perceptions, and demonstrate that they can be 
their hero’s hero by donating to our organization.

USING TRADITIONAL MEDIA, SUCH AS PRINT ADS, 
TO REACH OUR TARGET 
15 
Background photography will feature a unique story of the veterans and their family in a single shot. This will convey a message filled 
with emotions and empathy. The overall print will then express what a hero means. Finally, there will be the tagline of the “Hero” 
campaign, “Be Your Hero’s Hero”. In addition, a link in fine print direct the audience to the website where they would be able to donate 
for the cause. 
The Result: Fisher House Foundation is presented as the trademark of the Hero.

Billboards will be created, keeping the text minimal, as they will be placed in high traffic areas. The 
ads must have the tagline: “Be Your Hero’s Hero”, and display the website: www.BeAHero.com”. Will 
also showcase the Fisher House Foundation Logo.

terminal will be very similar, with the addition of a photo of a 
veteran with his/her loved ones/family.

FISHER HOUSE WILL TEAM UP WITH THE 
TOUGH MUDDER RACE. 
 The Tough Mudder race is one of the most popular and invigorating obstacle courses that is 
designed to tests a person’s strength, stamina, and camaraderie. For the past four years, the 
obstacle course has gone global with having races in over seven countries, and over one 
million racers that have registered. 
 Tough Mudder not only pushes people to their limits, they pride themselves on raising money 
for non-profit organizations, like the Wounded Warrior Project. 
 Their fundraising tagline, “Being a Tough Mudder means putting others before yourself, 
especially those who risk their lives for the safety and freedom of our country”, has inspired 
people to raise over $6 million for non-profit organizations. 
 Fisher House will team up with Tough Mudder and help sponsor the races, along with getting 
the “mudders” or racers to donate. The Mudders get people to sponsor them as they race 
through 10-15 miles of the intense obstacle course, and in return, they get a prize such as a 
certain percentage of their registration fee back, and different merchandise such as bracelets, 
t-shirts, and jackets that Fisher House will provide so the participants can wear it with pride.

HEINZ KETCHUP PARTNERSHIP 
#OURTURNTOSERVE 
 In 2011, Heinz Ketchup launched the “Our Turn to Serve” campaign. 
This program celebrates veterans who have served our country, and 
raises awareness for a veterans foundation. For the past two years it 
has been, Wounded Warrior Project. 
 How it works: 
 Each Heinz ketchup bottle with the “Our Turn to Serve” label contains a Quick 
Response (QR) code that is scannable with a smartphone. The QR code will then 
give instant access to step-by-step instructions to create and send a personalized 
Thank You card to a veteran. For every Thank You card sent, Heinz will donate $1 
to the Wounded Warrior Project, up to $250,000. Heinz will also donate an 
additional 57 cents for every Thank You Card that is shared via Facebook or 
Twitter by July 1, 2014.

  • 1. “BE YOUR HERO’S HERO” Cynthia Rivera, Sabrina Argiro, Nicholas Ponce, Priyanka Patel, Ali Mansoor, Matilda Koroma 1
  • 2. Many middle-aged men and women tend to donate and belong to many charitable/non-profit organizations, but the Fisher House Foundation is not included on any of their lists. Fusion Advertising’s “Be Your Hero’s Hero” campaign will bring more awareness to Fisher House, and will convince our target market that by donating, they will be helping America’s heroes, therefore making them a hero, as well.  Our research reveals that men over the age of 45, and women over the age of 55 are more likely to be involved with a veteran’s club, and are more likely to make charitable contributions. Also, men over the age of 55 who served in the armed forces, have made the most charitable contributions within the last 12 months.  It was also discovered that many people within our target have similar views on what a “hero” is to them, and veterans fit the description perfectly; therefore we will incorporate their perception of a hero into our campaign through media and below the line tactics.  Creative components are integrated throughout this campaign through various scenarios of injured veterans and their families. Print ads, billboard/airport ads, television and radio spots have been proven to be the most effective amongst our target, so we plan to utilize these as much as possible, and to the best of our ability.  Our below the line tactics will include two major galas—one in Bethesda, Maryland, and the other in New York City, a walkathon in Washington, D.C. and New York City, and partnerships with the Tough Mudder Race, Build-a-Bear Workshop, and Heinz Ketchup.  The family-oriented aspects of our campaign will increase awareness for Fisher House amongst our target, and will ultimately encourage them to donate, and in turn, be their hero’s hero. 2 APPEALING TO FAMILIES WILL PROVE TO BE SUCCESSFUL THROUGHOUT OUR CAMPAIGN.

  • 7. TO DETERMINE OUR TARGET, EXTENSIVE RESEARCH WAS REQUIRED. OUR RESEARCH PROCESS 7 1. EXPLORE To market to adults between the ages of 50-65, we needed to understand their values, lifestyles, and their donating habits. Through our extensive research, we uncovered a key shared attribute, which linked our target together. 2. ANALYZE We analyzed how our target perceive heroes, as well as Fisher House’s position in the charitable foundation market. Our findings enabled us to discover Fisher House’s opportunity with our target. 3. CONNECT We leveraged our findings to connect our target to the Fisher House Foundation in a way that reflects their values and lifestyles. 20 Online Responden ts 25 5 In- Depth Interviews TOTAL Fisher House Foundatio n Adults 50-65 Cynthia and Sabrina

BABY BOOMERS ARE FAMILY ORIENTED. 8 Adults 55-59 Adults 60-64 Adults 65-69 Simmons 2011 Research Described themselves as kind, good-hearted, and sincere 102 Index Family life is the most important thing to them 100 Index Enjoy Spending time with their family 102 Index In depth Interviews “I like donating to veteran charities because I am a veteran and some people did not end up as lucky as I did.” -Robert 56, NY “My hero is my mom. She raised four kids and made sure we always had everything.” -Albert 61, NY “My mom is my hero, she made sure everyone’s needs around her were met before her own.” -Sara 67, NY KEY FINDING: Baby Boomers highly value their family and share similar views to what they believe a hero is. Therefore, their personality reflects their donating habits. Cynthia and Sabrina

She is an active member of various non-profit organizations and donates whenever she can. Her son is her hero. Cynthia and Sabrina
  • 10. PEOPLE DONATE TO CHARITIES FOR MANY REASONS.  WHY DO WE DONATE?  We are emotionally moved by a person’s story.  We don’t want to feel powerless in the face of need, knowing that we can help.  We want to change lives.  We feel fortunate, and want to give back to others.  We will integrate these motives into our campaign in order to appeal to our target market, and to encourage them to donate to Fisher House.

  • 11. FISHER HOUSE FOUNDATION LACKS BRAND IDENTITY. American Red Cross UNICEF American Cancer Society St. Jude’s Research Hospital Wounded Warriors Project 11 According to our primary research, our target is not even aware of Fisher House as an established non-profit organization. To them, American Red Cross is their top of mind organization. Our task: to increase overall brand awareness for Fisher House Foundation. Cynthia and Sabrina
  • 12. IN ORDER TO INCREASE BRAND AWARENESS, AN IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF FISHER HOUSE WAS NECESSARY. Strengths Weaknesses • Houses are located close to medical centers, so transportation is not needed • Families can stay in the houses for as long as they like • Received 4 out of 4 stars for 10 consecutive years on Charity Navigator • Fisher House picked up the slack when the government shutdown by paying the death benefits to military families who have lost a soldier during this time in place of the Department of Defense • Over $40 million dollars in contributions, gifts, and grants donated. • There are many veterans’ organizations in competition with Fisher House: Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, Operation Comfort, Aid for Wounded Warriors. • Like Fisher House, many nonprofits share the mission to support veterans and their families, as well: Elizabeth Dole Foundation, Gary Sinise Foundation, Wounded Warriors Family Support, Home for Our Troops. • Today, the Fisher House Foundation does not provide monetary assistance to individual service members or their families, unless related to the hospitalization of a service member or his or her family. • Encourages involvement. Volunteer opportunities: bring meals and snacks for residents, help with general housekeeping chores, organize good drives, babysitting services, holiday decorations, gardening, support fundraising team members during race weekends. • Complaints about the salary made to the president, which is approximately $408,889—they stated they are unlikely to volunteer or donate to this foundation. • According to one individual, she states, “Four hundred thousand a year for running a charity is almost oxymoronic. I’ll find one whose leadership isn’t so highly paid.”—One review can be read by many people, affecting their decision on whether or not to donate. "CHARITY NAVIGATOR RATING - FISHER HOUSE FOUNDATION.

  • 13. BEFORE CREATING A CAMPAIGN, IT IS IMPORTANT TO DETERMINE WHAT MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED. Key Insight Our diverse members of our target have a few things in common—they have similar views on what a hero is, and highly value family life. They react well to organizations that reflect these values and in-turn will convey good feelings after donating. Message The Fisher House Foundation’s mission is to connect veterans (heroes) with their loved ones during their times of need, and by donating, our target can become their “hero’s” hero. Tone Emotional, Serious, Heartfelt Campaign Tagline: “Be your hero’s hero” Brand Tagline: “Because a family’s love is good medicine” 13 Reasons to Believe A veteran is someone who is selfless and makes sacrifices for others. Our target market also views a hero in a similar sense. By combining these two aspects, consumers will see that a veteran is a hero to them. Positioning Statement Unlike other veteran-oriented nonprofit organizations, Fisher House strives to help the entire family. They do not just collect money to donate to veterans, they provide frees housing to the family of injured veterans. Organizing Idea The Be Your Hero’s Hero campaign will focus around images and videos of what our target views as heroes. We will show different ideas of popular hero perceptions, and demonstrate that they can be their hero’s hero by donating to our organization. Cynthia and Sabrina
  • 14. OUR MICROSITE WILL PROVIDE EASY ACCESS TO THE “BE A HERO” CAMPAIGN. 14 The website will be easy to use, and will have different tabs for up-to-date information about our campaign. The website will include tabs for donations, as well as information on the Gala and Walkathon Ali
  • 15. USING TRADITIONAL MEDIA, SUCH AS PRINT ADS, TO REACH OUR TARGET 15 Background photography will feature a unique story of the veterans and their family in a single shot. This will convey a message filled with emotions and empathy. The overall print will then express what a hero means. Finally, there will be the tagline of the “Hero” campaign, “Be Your Hero’s Hero”. In addition, a link in fine print direct the audience to the website where they would be able to donate for the cause. The Result: Fisher House Foundation is presented as the trademark of the Hero. Body Copy: A Hero is … A Selfless Person Body Copy: A Hero is … Someone Who Makes Sacrifices Body Copy • Connotation of the word Hero Image • Use of veterans with their loved ones • Strong manifestation of emotions that relates to each individual Integration of Promotions • Bottom of ad reads: “visit www.BeAHero.com and Donate Today!” Logo/Tagline • Continuation of the Fisher House Foundation logo. • Introduces a new tagline which reads: “Be Your Hero’s Hero”. Ali
