Erfgoed Brabant is a foundation who gives grants to cultural heritage in Brabant. The foundation is originated
of a merger out of three foundations namely; Foundation Brabantse Regionale Geschiedbeoefening, the Bra-‐
bantse Museum foundation and the Foundation Brabants. Erfgoed Brabant is an organization which is gov-‐
erned by governance consisting of 4 persons. The organization is a foundation so they don’t have a lot income.
A strength of the foundation is that they are making a little bit of their own income since 2011. A weaknesses
of the foundation is the logo, it looks a bit childish, and the limited budget. The foundation doesn’t have a lot of
budget to use for grants. The aim for creating this strategic marketing communication plan is to reach the
target group of men and women in the age of 18 till 24 years old. The foundation inds it hard to reach them.
The target group
The target group for the assignment of the client are men and woman in the age of 18 till 25 years old. They
use the internet and their smart phone to stay up-‐to-‐date instead of using the ‘old’ media like newspapers and
television.
Time planning
The promotion campaign will start in the spring of 2013, this will give the target group time to brainstorm
about a good idea for their video.
Our concept
With fresh and funny videos we want to generate more awareness by the target group of Erfgoed Brabant. At With fresh and funny videos we want to generate more awareness by the target group of Erfgoed Brabant. At
the end of the videos a contest will be announced. Youngsters can participate to this contest by making their
own creative video about cultural heritage and win a nice price for 2 tickets of the concert by Guus Meeuwis.
We have chosen for this approach because we think this is the irst step amongst youngsters to get involved in
cultural heritage. The videos will be placed online on several social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook
and Tilburg.com.

B. EXTERN ANALYSIS
The external side is analyzed by a DESTEP analysis.
Demographic factors
Demographic factors are the features of the population. Features like gender, belief, dispersion and age struc-‐
ture.
Currently aging is a topic. The population is changing, there are more elderly people every day. The cause of
this is mainly because of the baby boom in the Western world. A lot of baby boomers were born after World
War II. Decades after this relatively less baby’s were born. This is why the ratio between elderly and young
people is out of balance. A lot of baby boomers will pass away after 2030, after 2030 a big population change
will take place.
Another cause of the greater part of the elderly people is the increase in life expectancy. Primarily because of
the improvement of public health, medicines and nutrition.
The average life expectancy in the past 50 years has increased by 10 years. In 2008 there were 2.4 million elThe average life expectancy in the past 50 years has increased by 10 years. In 2008 there were 2.4 million el-‐
derly (65+), this will increase with 3.6 million people in 2025. This change in population will come with a lot of
consequences.
The number of elderly people in Brabant is relatively moderate. It can be possible for Erfgoed Brabant to reach
more young people in Brabant as there are enough young people living in Brabant.
Economic factors
The credit crisis has been a big topic for the last few years. The inancial crisis began in the summer of 2007,
inding it’s roots in America. Banks lend each other money due to the stagnant housing market. Worldwide
countries drowned in this crisis. By 2010 Europe countries drowned in the crisis. First Greece, than Spain and
Portugal.
The crisis also in luenced the Dutch population; a lot of people got ired the past years. 122.00 employees got
ired over 2009, 105.000 in 2010. This is a decrease of 14% which is positive.
The cuts of the Dutch government caused a lot of fuss. On September the 15th of 2011 the state government The cuts of the Dutch government caused a lot of fuss. On September the 15th of 2011 the state government
announced a 50 million cut on culture.
There are cuts in the grant for everything, also for Erfgoed Brabant. They now also have less to spend.
10
Socio-‐cultural factors
Socio-‐cultural factors are about lifestyle, leisure and the educational level of the population.
The level of education has a signi icant effect on a society. More and more Dutch people successfully graduated
from an university. The number of highly educated women has been growing relatively strong in recent years.
In 2009, 32% of men between 25 and 65 years old were highly educated. Women in this age group 27%. In
recent years there is a greater part of graduated woman.
Research on cultural participation showed a few factors. Highly educated people visit cultural spots more Research on cultural participation showed a few factors. Highly educated people visit cultural spots more
often. Another fact is that woman are culturally more active than man.
The increase in highly educated Dutch people is positive for the interest in heritage. More educated woman is
even better, because women are more culturally active.
11
12
Technological factors
Technique is developing faster every day. Internet is world wide. Erfgoed Brabant uses the internet by a web-‐
site.
Ecological factors
Climate change on this planet is a fact. The temperature rises by gasses like CO2. The climate is changing and
the sea level is rising. People focus more on the environment. The world is getting polluted and more people
are willing to do something about it. Monuments are also items people are ighting for to keep them on this
planet.
Policitcal-‐Legal Factors
The legislation on the cuts are of course very topical. You can read more about this under the heading of eco-‐
nomical factors.
13
For Erfgoed Brabant the legislation concerning monuments is of course very important. Historic preservation
is the protection, conservation, maintenance and repair of real property in the public interest because of their
historical, ethnological, artistic, scienti ic, industrial, archaeological or other socio-‐cultural value. In the Neth-‐
erlands, one of the requirements for designation as a national monument by the National Heritage Board, is
that a object is at least 50 years old. This age requirements is not applicable in Belgium. Through this legisla-‐
tion monuments are protected in the Netherland.

C. SWOT

Promotion by different media channels.Erfgoed Brabant promotes their foundation on different channels to reach more people. The channels they use Erfgoed Brabant promotes their foundation on different channels to reach more people.

Deloitte provides services Deloitte and ABAB have been helping Erfgoed Brabant with their internal processes. Deloitte provides services in the ield of accountancy, tax, consulting, risk management and inancial advice. ABAB is an all-‐round ac-‐countancy and advice organization.
WeaknessesLimited budgetErfgoed Brabant has a limited budget. They are a foundation so they have to receive their money from the province, donations and sponsors.
Unprofessional logoErfgoed Brabant’s logo looks very unprofessional. It looks childish with the colours the use of letter type.
OpportunitiesEcological factorsPeople are getting more focused on the health of the planet and maintaining old monuments.
Demographic factorsThe baby boomers are around the age of 65. This is the age rate, which are interested in monuments. This The baby boomers are around the age of 65. This is the age rate, which are interested in monuments. This doesn’t help with attracting people from the age of 18 till 24.

D. TARGET GROUP
Erfgoed Brabant is an organization who wants people to be aware of the cultural heritage in Brabant. At this
moment they are not reaching younger people in the age of 18-‐24 years old. Not knowing how to reach this
target group it is important to analyze them.
They organize projects to keep the cultural heritage in Brabant alive. For example, a platform has been They organize projects to keep the cultural heritage in Brabant alive. For example, a platform has been
launched written in the Brabant’s dialect with facts about language, music and culture from the province Bra-‐
bant. There is also a website where you can search about digital available heritage sources.
At this moment the organization only reached an older target group. In this segment this is the target group
that is easier to reach, because of their personal interest. Erfgoed Brabant uses traditional media such as tel-‐
evision and newspapers to communicate with their current target group. They also use the internet, but not as
an active communication channel. For younger people who use the internet on a daily basis it gives a ‘’boring’’
feeling as it does not offer them any specials.
Because it's about cultural heritage in Brabant, it's very regional. They should keep this in mind when they
communicate with their target group, because many people in Brabant have a really strong connection with
their region.
16
E. ANALYSIS OF THE TARGET GROUP AND MEDIUM SPECIFITYErfgoed Brabant is aiming for a target group -‐ Men and women-‐ Age 18 -‐ 24 years-‐ Living in Brabant. But outside youngsters are also welcome
In 2010, 91% of people in The Netherlands with an age between 16 and 25 years use social media. This is the In 2010, 91% of people in The Netherlands with an age between 16 and 25 years use social media. This is the highest percentage in the European Union. So it's really important for Erfgoed Brabant that they're using social media to communicate with younger people. Also, the percentage of youngsters watching TV is dropping, but more people are watching videos over the Internet.
With these facts in mind you could say that a video over the Internet, shared through social media, would be one of the most important communication tools for this target group.
Another medium that is used more and more by this target group is the smart phone. The number of used bandwidth through smart phones has exploded since 2010. So another way to communi-‐cate with this target group is through smart phone-‐apps or mobile websites. Source: CBS
SegmentsGeographical:The target group lives in The Netherlands, but since it's a regional organization there will be focused on people in Brabant. It's important to keep in mind that many people in Brabant talk with a dialect.
Demographical:Erfgoed Brabant wants to aim for men and women with age between 18 and 24 years.
17
Social / economical:
Because they're aiming for relatively young people, these are mostly students. For youngsters it is dif icult to
talk about their income. Because they all have different income and depend allot of external money.
Psycho graphical:
It's impossible to create an interest. So the target group is already somehow interested in things like art and It's impossible to create an interest. So the target group is already somehow interested in things like art and
culture. The target group is also interested in technology. Most young people own a smart phone and a com-‐
puter.
Example
Dave is a 21-‐year-‐old boy who lives in the city Eindhoven. He's a student at the Fontys Academy and he studies
Media Design.
Dave was born in Nuenen, a little village near Eindhoven. He has a strong connection with people who live
there, also because they communicate with each other in the same dialect. When Dave's on a trip in, let's say,
Amsterdam and he meets someone with the same dialect, he instantly feels a connection.
He works at the Apple store in Eindhoven. Every Saturday he works there so he can pay his study and has
money for social activities. He likes to go to concerts and go to the movies.
Just like most of his friends, Dave is kind of an addict to his telephone. Every ive minutes he checks for new FaJust like most of his friends, Dave is kind of an addict to his telephone. Every ive minutes he checks for new Fa-‐
cebook messages, new tweets and new WhatsApp messages. And when he's not checking his phone, he's busy
searching for information, education and fun stuff on his laptop. He’s always active online.

Erfgoed met een zachte G
For Erfgoed Brabant we made a special concept using viral media. The aim of this concept is to generate more For Erfgoed Brabant we made a special concept using viral media. The aim of this concept is to generate more brand awareness amongst our target audience. We have chosen for brand awareness because we believe this is the irst step amongst youngsters to get involved with for most an un-‐known concept. With a fresh and funny message we hope to get Erfgoed Brabant in contact with the younger generation. The main aim is to get the youngsters to discover and experience their heritage in Brabant. To trigger our target group we have a compe-‐tition with a price as reward. Central in the videos are not only monuments but also the Brabant’s dialect which is considered as cultural heritage.
6. CONCEPTUALIZE
MessageYoungsters in general think that heritage is boring and for old people. With this campaign we want to create the idea that heritage is yours. They are your roots and made you the person that you are now. By a funny video which shows that dialect also is a heritage we want to reach the youngsters. The contest is created to get the youngsters involved in their local heritage.
The campaign will start in the spring of 2013. The contest runs for 3 months, after the deadline the winner will The campaign will start in the spring of 2013. The contest runs for 3 months, after the deadline the winner will be chosen. He or she can win tickets for a concert from Guus Meeuwis.

The concept
Two videos were made, which will be placed online on social media as Facebook, YouTube and the Tilburg
council website.
Video 1
An older and serious man stands in front of the St. Jans church in Den Bosch, telling about the history of the An older and serious man stands in front of the St. Jans church in Den Bosch, telling about the history of the
church when he gets disturbed by an youngster with a heavy Brabant’s accent. The youngster takes over and
tries to encourage the viewer to participate with the contest. He also makes the viewer aware of how ‘’cool’’ his
Brabant’s dialect is.
Video 2

ground. In this video he encourages the viewer to visit the Binnendieze and take part of the special small cruis-‐
es which show you a couple the monuments of Den Bosch during the cruise. He ends the video with talking
about the contest again and telling the viewer what they can win if the send a movie to Erfgoed Brabant.
In the next ive steps we will show you what the aim is of Erfgoed met een zachte G
Who?
Young people in the Netherlands, in particular people living in Brabant with the age of 18-‐24 years old.
What?
Bring brand awareness among the target audience. Talking about cultural heritage we refer to monuments and
dialect.
Where?
The entire heritage in Brabant. Film recording will be taking place in Den Bosch. This will be the basis for Erf-‐
goed Brabant.
Why?
We would like to get youngsters acquainted with cultural heritage in Brabant. Monuments and dialects.
How?
By means of using video images which will be placed online on several social media platforms. The promo is
meant as trigger for the youngsters to discover and experience heritage in Brabant and participate with the
online contest. As reward Erfgoed Brabant offers a price in the cultural sector.
21
A. PLANNING
We have chosen for a two-‐way strategy. Cultural heritage can be shown to youngsters in what we call a more
catching way. By motivating younger people we want them to look around in their environment, to look
around and ind cultural heritage. We want to give them an opportunity to tell Erfgoed Brabant what they ind
inspiring. Achieving this we want to challenge youngsters by making their own video
we are aware the campaign will only have a short impact time because our target group (Dutch youngsters in we are aware the campaign will only have a short impact time because our target group (Dutch youngsters in
the age of 18-‐25) lives in a fast moving world. Social media can make you big today but can also make you for-‐
gotten the next day.
Being aware of the impact such as social media we want to launch the campaign in the beginning of the spring
2013. This will give youngsters the time to brainstorm and make a video. The weather is favorable and the
impact is in perfect timing for the cultural heritage season.
B. BUDGET
A large budget is not necessary as our campaign consist primary on a local participation. The cultural heritage
foundation should have some employees to facilitate the local participation. This costs time and therefore
money. The campaign will be brought to the target group by the use of social media and the internet. A plat-‐
form will have to be created, which will also cost time and by meanings money. To motivate young people we
suggest a competitive approach so users can receive amends. An idea of an amend can be a subscription for a
cultural event or tickets to a concert such as Guus Meeuwis. This can be custom made for every budget.
C.RISKS
The biggest risk that can happen is not reaching the target group or that they don’t receive the message well.
Overkills of campaigns on the internet can make it happen that our message will be overshadowed. Other than
that we do not see any other risks that will disturb the marketing plan we offer Erfgoed Brabant.
