The Scenario back in 2002.. The scratch and win in Italy reaches the lowest sales level The «Curno effect» (1996) Competition: new games are introduced (SuperEnalotto 1998) Few games and confused portfolio without the Brand No/low advertising Scratch and win decline is mainly due to loss of trust from players and lack of communication 8
2003: the turninig point Lottomatica takes over the management of the scratch and win from AAMS (Monopoly of State) 9
LOTTOMATICA has 2 main objectives: Give a strong personality to the game by creating a recognizable and strong brand equity Have a coherent and consistent communication in every touchpoint with the consumer 10
Lottomatica had to 1. Understand how players view the game; its core rational and emotional values 2. Define the boundaries of the equity and grow within them 3. Communicate the equity values consistently over time 4. Make sure all bundle elements work together to reinforce the equity 5. Establish a firm positioning
The Equity Strategy PROMISE The easiest way to feel the emotion to win CONSUMER INSIGHT «In my life I need a small daily joy, an easy entertainment without feeling guilty» REASON WHY Is funny and catching Is easy and immediate Chances to win are a lot BRAND PERSONALITY Is someone that surprises you every day with new emotions Adds some «spice» to your daily life
The name of the game All market tests confirmed that gratta e vinci (scratch and win) was identifying a specific and well recognized category The name was highly appreciated by consumers: «is a great name, it means you are always a winner!» «is quick to say, like scratching!» «is so easy to use, easy to win!»??? A winning solution, from scatch and win to THE SCRATCH AND WIN The «Gratta E Vinci» brand was born *Fonte: Eurisko - Pre test qualitativo G&V - Luglio 2003
The Logo Graphic Evolution Friendly and inviting, with the V representing the winner Rounded and kind of 3D to underline the dynamism of GeV YELLOW gives joy and willingness to play without aggressiveness BLUE is reassuring and institutional, giving the brand a different status vs other games Fonte: People test per logo - ottobre 2003

and do not forget the purple cow paradigm Today, the one sure way to fail is to be boring. Your one chance for success is to be remarkable Godin, Seth (2003). Purple Cow: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable 2. Remarkable doesn't mean remarkable to you. It means remarkable to me. Am I going to make a remark about it? If not, then you're average, and average is for losers. 3. Being noticed is not the same as being remarkable. Running down the street naked will get you noticed, but it won't accomplish much. It's easy to pull off a stunt, but not useful.
