COPYRIGHT © 2012 HEDWAY, INC. / REN.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 3 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CAMPAIGN A campaign structured to address the three categories of the lucrative Chinese market: highly affluent, new affluent, and mass affluent. Appearances Five staged appearances by Zhang Ziyi in Las Vegas and Greater China will offer a plethora of multi-platform opportunities for MGM Resorts International to enhance its brand in China and the Chinese community at large. In the following pages we present an à la carte menu of ideas from which we can choose for the basis of the five appearances. Broadcast A video shoot of Zhang Ziyi exploring and experiencing the unprecedented array of exceptional attractions, events and culinary choices at the MGM Resorts will create documentary-style broadcast materials for use editorially, advertorially, in-house and in marketing collateral. During times of peak Chinese visits or special events, the use of the video walls at MGM Grand, for example, and tapping into Weibo (Chinese Twitter) will enhance the experience of your guests. The footage with be shot over a 7–10 day period to provide MGM Resorts with enough material to release over a minimum of 12 months. The timelessness of the materials will make it possible for MGM Resorts to use them over a long term. Stills and Print As appropriate, for each appearance we will invite targeted Greater China publications to attend the events. Additionally a key prestigious glossy publication will spend a minimum half-day creating a styled photo shoot with editorial content that will dynamically include the agreed MGM messaging. The video shoot will be supported by stills photography which will be placed into highprofile magazines in China, Hong Kong and Macau and can also be used in MGM Resorts M life magazine. We recommend creating a limited-edition, Chinese-language version of M life to enhance the initiatives of the Brand Ambassador campaign. COPYRIGHT © 2012 HEDWAY, INC. / REN. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 4 TARGET MARKET OF THE CAMPAIGN MARKET SEGMENT THE AFFLUENT The affluent buys to define individuality to their peers and themselves. THE NEW AFFLUENT The newly affluent buys for status and because of reputation of quality of goods and services. THE MASS AFFLUENT The mass affluent buys to impress, and to satisfy their sense of luxury entitlement. MOST INFLUENTIAL WAYS THEY RECEIVE INFORMATION • Word-of-mouth: peer-topeer including celebrities and friends • Highly selective media including digital media, philanthropy • Word-of-mouth strategic brand and celebrity alliances through digital media, sponsorship, events, aspirational media • Celebrity and fashion alliances through digital and mass media, social causes COPYRIGHT © 2012 HEDWAY, INC. / REN. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 5 PREMISE OF THE CAMPAIGN 1. Luxury is not just about materialism, it is about the experience. The super-rich want the finest, freshest and most exclusive. 2. The quest for better, more authentic products is continual. Bespoke services continue to gain momentum. 3. The feel-good factor is a critical trend for all customers from the aspirational to the super-rich. 4. Chinese consumers expect that the brands they patronize are good citizens. To paraphrase Confucius: humanity, righteousness, respect, intelligence and authenticity are key tenets. 5. The role of the brand CEO in selling to the ultra-affluents is important. “What others say about you is much more powerful than what you say about yourself. That’s why publicity is more effective than advertising. And why over the past two decades public relations has eclipsed advertising as the most effective force in branding.” COPYRIGHT © 2012 HEDWAY, INC. / REN.
