CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL 44 BRAND BUILDING + RECRUITMENT INNOVATION CASE STUDY EDUCATE THE AUDIENCE: CHP 45 THE OPPORTUNITY With the growing need for standout content within a social media landscape of ever-increasing noise, California Highway Patrol’s Recruitment Division needed to find a way to stop their target audience of 18-35 year olds in their scrolling. The CHP also needed a way to position itself as a cutting-edge agency that offers not only a stable career, but a “cool job” that is so much more than just writing tickets. EDUCATE THE AUDIENCE: CHP 46 THE VISION Through extensive audience research and testing, Augustine knew that this target segment had a specific affinity for cars and motorcycles, and this factor often contributed to new applicants’ interest in a career with CHP. Capitalizing on this, Augustine developed two social media breakout clips for use in paid Recruitment advertising which utilized emerging video editing technology to be disruptive on channels that are over-saturated with content. EDUCATE THE AUDIENCE: CHP 47 THE RESULTS In just five short months, Augustine reversed the year-over-year decline in applications. The Made for More campaign reached almost 11% of the targeted California population and garnered results unmatched by other top law enforcement agencies throughout the United States. The social media breakout clips alone produced 905 new CHP applications and earned an overall engagement rate more than triple the industry average.

THE OPPORTUNITY Discover Siskiyou wanted to create a new campaign to attract California road-trippers to the destination, build brand awareness and share the variety of experiences that can be had in each of their four regions, no matter the season. 58CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY. All rights reserved by Augustine Agency ©2023. THE VISION Research told us that there are many options for people who want to travel to destinations in California, but Siskiyou offers a different experience for an elite group of outdoor enthusiasts that want more out of a getaway. And that’s what Millennials are looking for (80% of young consumers seek a unique travel experience, not the tried and true). They want something more. Something emotional. Something EPIC. The EPIC in Every Direction campaign was created to amplify the emotional connection with this key audience by showing immersive experiences through unique photography angles and unexpected perspectives. After all, with four unique areas, Siskiyou is Epic in Every Direction. The campaign connected to audiences through social, digital ads, out of home and short and long-form print. 59CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY. All rights reserved by Augustine Agency ©2023. THE RESULTS Siskiyou invited travelers to take it to the edge of the unforgettable and it resonated. We placed seasonal billboards in key areas along some of California’s most traveled freeways to show Discover Siskiyou in a truly epic, larger than life way. Paired with digital retargeting ads, this campaign reached over 13 million CA travelers and earned an overall CTR of more than double the standard benchmark. BILLBOARDS: CTR .34% – almost 3x the industry average of .13% DIGITAL: Meta CTR: 2% and Meta Engagement Rate: 2.8% —well above the industry average of .9% Clients were thrilled that the impact was seen the very first week. Take it from our client, Heather Dodds, Director of Marketing at Siskiyou who says, “Working with Augustine is what set our destination apart. Our first-ever billboards paired with the digital retargeting ads finished strong with our CTR well above the industry average, which was so awesome to see.” With a CTR above the industry average and engagement rates surpassing benchmarks across all channels, the Siskiyou campaign was truly an EPIC success. 60CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY.

THE OPPORTUNITY •The market for offsite meetings was hit hard with years of varying safety procedures and, according to industry data, wasn’t expected to bounce back until 2026. •How do we get through to decision-makers for new consideration? The Visioneers at Augustine studied this audience and it was clear that meeting planners are a meticulous group. In fact, they are such a particular group that they have their very own language. We used that language in an attention-getting way and spoke directly to their top two needs — technology and amenities. 62CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY. All rights reserved by Augustine Agency ©2023. THE VISION The “Amenities” campaign was developed identifying amenities that planners would be looking for in venues and playing off how those would be available through team-building activities in outdoor spaces. The objectives of the campaign were to: •Create awareness of North Lake Tahoe as the ideal meeting destination. •Reinforce positioning and drive action, encouraging engagement with ads and RFP submissions. •Stand out amongst the clutter with unique messaging and visuals. 63CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY. All rights reserved by Augustine Agency ©2023. THE RESULTS •The campaign served over 1.8M impressions to meeting and event planners. •After launching the campaign there was a spike in performance across all tactics exceeding industry benchmarks. •Cost per conversion decreased to $16 (from $248 the year prior), increasing campaign efficiency by 1550%. 64CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY.

THE OPPORTUNITY There are a multitude of unique experiences and sights to be found in Torrance, California. However, Torrance sometimes gets lost amongst the LA landscape, with popular spots such as Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica and more being so close by. During our initial discovery phase, we often heard visitors in and around Torrance exclaim, “Wow, I can’t believe I didn’t know that!” as they learned what the destination truly had to offer. Using this as a springboard, Augustine saw the opportunity to turn this hidden gem destination into the crown jewel of a visitor’s SoCal adventure — a place with so much to do, it’s almost unbelievable. 68CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY. All rights reserved by Augustine Agency ©2023. THE VISION With such a rich blend of culture, history and sights to see, Torrance offers an experience that is totally unique. We decided to leverage this unexpected aspect of the destination to create the “Unbelievable, but True in Torrance” campaign, which positions Torrance as a place to discover one-of-a-kind experiences, from embarking on a foodie adventure with the destination's ramen trail to visiting the largest collection of Chinese art outside of China. Unbelievable, but True in Torrance uses statistics (such as that 2.5 million square feet of shopping can exist in one space, at the Del Amo Fashion Center) to bring these fun activities to life and encourage people to choose Torrance when staying in Los Angeles. The campaign focused on a holistic experience for every traveler, beginning pre-trip with resources such as inspiring blogs, podcasts and a custom itinerary builder, and continuing to offer pieces of collateral throughout a visitor’s stay, such as coloring books, maps and more. 69CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY. All rights reserved by Augustine Agency ©2023. THE RESULTS From a paid media perspective, the campaign boasted incredibly successful results, including an average 0.65% CTR across all tactics (6x the industry average of 0.1%). Top metrics included: •29M impressions and over 185K clicks to the website in the first six months •4.08% average CTR — 4x the industry average of 0.9% — for paid social efforts •6.91% CTR on the highest-performing social ad, which featured the outdoor and shopping pillars •97% completion rate for ConnectedTV (CTV) videos (with the industry average being 78%) •4:33 average time open for the Instagram filter — surpassing surpassing social media post engagement benchmarks (1:00)
