MCCS recognizes and values the efforts of its stakeholders who participate in the marketing programs which provide both leadership and support. Stakeholders are those divisions, organizations, companies and individuals who have a vested interest in supporting MCCS quality of life programs. FY 2015 MCCS Financial Targets for Business $304,000,000 Sales (Net profit will reflect MCCS’ financial position after all expenses including labor, supplies, etc., associated with the MCCS enterprise have been paid. That level is the result of escalating costs associated with business, social program requirements and the negative impact of the market on long-term investment such as the employee retirement fund. Other negative impacts include the costs associated with upgrading aging IT systems and the effects of deployment, and revisions to taxes charged to MCCS on fuel sales.)

These programs encourage positive individual values, personal development, and aid in recruitment and retention of personnel. The MCCS programs provide for the physical, cultural, service and social needs of Marines and other members of the Marine Corps family. They also provide community support systems that make Marine Corps bases/stations temporary hometowns for this mobile population. The MCCS Mission is to make significant lasting contributions to combat readiness through the personal and family readiness of our Marines and their families. MCCS maintains mission readiness and productivity through programs that promote the physical and mental well being of all members of the Marine Corps including active duty, reserve, retired and civilian. MCCS is comprised of MCX / Retail activities, recreation programs and family services activities. The term MCCS includes all programs/activities under these areas unless stated otherwise. Since there are funding restrictions that apply through both policy and public law for certain programs/activities, a distinction must be made. There are those activities that are totally supported by appropriated funds (APF) and those that are authorized support from both APF and non-appropriated funds (NAF). Components of MCCS: include Marine and Family Programs, Semper Fit, Business Operations and Retail MCCS Funding MCCS is a large, diverse organization within the Marine Corps whose sole mission is to enrich the lives of every Marine, Sailor and family member serving aboard the base. This involves more than 80 comprehensive programs. MCCS is comprised of two funds: • Appropriated Funds (APF) - tax dollars directed by Congress to the specific MCCS level activity • Non-Appropriated Funds (NAF) - profits that are derived from retail, services and recreational activities within each base or station level command Both are used to support MCCS activities and are divided into 3 categories: Categories A and B activities are funded with varying percentages of both NAF and APF dollars, while Category C activities are funded primarily with NAF dollars. Category A: Mission Sustaining Activities These are activities that are considered to be the most essential in meeting the objectives of the Marine Corps. Examples include: physical fitness facilities, libraries, Marine Corps Family Team Building (MCFTB) programs and unit level sports. These programs are almost entirely APF. Category B: Community Support These activities are closely related, in terms of supporting the military mission, to those in Category A. Examples include: auto skills, youth activities and outdoor recreation. They receive NAF generated revenues plus APF support. Category C: Revenue Generating These activities have resale business capability and can generate enough income to cover most, if not all, of their operating expenses. Examples include: exchanges, the golf course, movie theater, service stations, convenience stores and the marina. These activities operate almost solely on NAF revenue. Patron Buying Power Without patron buying power, it becomes a challenge to set aside the necessary monies to build, buy or enhance programs, events or construction projects. For MCCS to be an effective and efficient entity in providing outstanding QOL programs for service members and their families, continued patronage is vital. 7 mccsCP.com/marketingplan MCCS VISION & STRATEGY 2025 MCCS Vision MCCS was established in 1999 and remains the only organization within the Department of Defense that combines Family Services; Off-Duty Voluntary Education; Children, Youth and Teen Programs; Morale, Welfare and Recreation; and Marine Corps Exchanges (MCX) under a single organizational construct. Since its inception, MCCS has been supported by two iterations of strategic planning aimed at integrating and appropriately aligning these vital support services to meet the current and future needs of the unit, individual Marine, and broader Marine Corps family. Although significant accomplishments have been made, the impact of the Global War on Terrorism has strained many programs and support functions that were essentially built on a peace-time model. As a result of program assessments, direct leadership feedback, and hearing from the voices of Marines and family members, there is an institutional effort to transition programs to better meet the operational and family readiness requirements of the Corps. This ‘call for change’ also mandated a shift to the organization’s strategic planning, and resulted in the development of the MCCS Vision and Strategy 2025. This section, which is nested in the broader Marine Corps Vision and Strategy 2025, establishes the foundation of operational concepts and identifies the critical steps to ensure that we are properly organized, trained, equipped, and prepared to meet tomorrow’s challenges today. This vision outlines the values, principles, and core competencies of MCCS, and is built around these seven key components: People, Places, Policies, Performance, Processes, Perceptions and Programs. Emerging Environment, External Threats and Internal Challenges The organization’s future will be shaped by a wide range of influences and trends, such as the changing demographics of the Marine Corps and workforce, resources and economics, science and technology, defense spending, and other program patterns. The following section outlines several influences and trends to consider in organizational planning. Demographics and Workforce These emerging generations will also comprise the future workforce of the organization. Trends in workforce size and composition, coupled with the pace of technological change and economic globalization, will have implications for future work. Employees will work in more decentralized, special firms; slower labor growth will encourage employers to recruit groups with relatively low labor force participation; greater emphasis will be placed on retraining and lifelong learning and future productivity growth will support higher wages and may affect the wage distribution. The new workforce will place a larger value on training and seek the optimum opportunity to mesh their job with their outlook on life. The workforce will be better educated; more easily rely upon technology; and be highly invested in social/community causes. 8 MCCS VISION & STRATEGY 2025 Demographics and Workforce (cont) In terms of workforce composition, the trend is for a shift toward a more balanced distribution by age, sex, and race/ethnicity. The U.S. population and workforce have been growing older as the baby-boom generation ages. This has created a workforce that has become more evenly distributed across age groups. Also, steadily increasing female labor force participation rates, combined with declining male rates, have brought the labor force closer to gender balance. Finally, the inflow of immigrants has been largely responsible for a continuing increase in the racial and ethic diversity of the workforce, with Hispanics and Asians being the fastest growing groups in the workforce. Labor markets will remain tight, particularly in skilled fields. This calls for new creativity in recruiting, benefits, and perks, especially profit sharing. This hyper competitive business environment demands new emphasis on rewarding speed, creativity and innovation within the workforce. Technology The pace of technological change will continue to accelerate, with synergies across technologies and disciplines generating advances in research and development, production processes and the nature of products and services. Technological advances are expected to continue to increase demand for a highly skilled workforce, support higher productivity growth and change the organization of business and the nature of employment relationships. New models of knowledge production, access, distribution and ownership are emerging. While knowledge is increasingly available, and knowledge production a growing phenomenon, organizations will have to avoid being emerged in too much information. Ever expanding science and technology is creating a knowledge-dependent global society. The number of Internet users in the United States more than doubled between 2000 and 2007, to nearly 231 million, or 69% of the population. In the United States, the “digital divide” seems to be disappearing as Internet access becomes increasingly available to all. In 10 years, most digital devices will combine multimedia communication functions and real-time voice translation, so that conversations originating in one of seven or eight common languages can be heard in any of the others. These technologies will enable organizations to quickly reach all customers and improve the knowledge of employees. The Internet will continue to bring manufacturers closer to remote patrons, cutting middlemen out of the distribution chain. Business-to-business marketing on the Internet will continue to introduce operational efficiencies. The technology industry stands to benefit immensely from a more robust relationship with tech-savvy veterans seeking employment. Employers are increasingly recognizing the value of military experience, and the IT industry is no different. Healthcare Greater awareness of the relation of exercise to healthcare costs has started to motivate monetary incentives. The fitness market is maturing, along with U.S. demographics, to provide a broader wellness service to its expanding customer base. Body sculpting has been replaced by the desire for solid healthy exercise practices. Overweight and obesity rates are on the rise and the healthcare costs for obesity now rival those attributable to smoking. The medical insurance industry, employers, and the insured population are getting involved in the process, with the desire to create healthier, more “well” population of participants. Neither government nor corporations can 9 mccsCP.com/marketingplan MCCS VISION & STRATEGY 2025 continue to support an “illness” model versus the new “wellness” model. Although there is a growing awareness of this issue, organizations must act to provide the appropriate types of programs. Emerging trends in fitness focus on several distinct training areas: Family Fitness; Circuit Training; High Intensity Tactical Training (HITT) and Virtual Gyms and Exercise Machines. Childcare Trends in childcare focus on the transition from traditional childcare to early childhood education. This trend to learning centers is partly due to high parent and school expectations; it is also attributable to research that shows that kids are capable of learning early academics and other skills that previously were not taught until later. Increasingly, technology is changing provider/parent connection. Facilities will offer parents video streaming of classroom activities throughout the day. Other providers will regularly take photos of children and send to parents, post daily or weekly blogs or e-newsletters online for parents to view, or even exchange emails or text messages throughout the day. Some providers will create websites where they post monthly menus, weekly day-by-day activities, and even behavioral reports. Retail In the retail sector, organizations must monitor and adapt to improved technology and statistical-control tools, which will shape new management practices. Online stores will continue to expand, listing virtually every product and brand in their industry without significant overhead. Additionally, branded items with good reputations will be even more important for developing repeat business. Leadership Business leaders will increasingly use algorithmic decision-making techniques and sophisticated software to manage their organizations. This style of “scientific management” will move organizations further away from the traditional “gut instinct” management style. Security to Family Issues As national security concerns begin to lose their immediacy, family issues will regain their significance in American society: long-term healthcare, daycare, early childhood education, anti-drug campaigns, and the environment. Demand for childcare, universal health coverage, and other family oriented services will continue to grow, particularly in the United States, where national services have yet to develop. Over the next 20 years, American companies may increasingly follow the example of counterparts in Europe, whose taxes pay for national daycare programs and other social services the United States lacks. Economy, Political Patterns, and Defense Spending Of utmost concern is the impact of the availability of natural resources and the state-of-the-art future economy, and how these forces will further shape the future and success of organizations. The imbalance between supply and demand of oil will continue to pose a threat to supply chains. This imbalance will impact construction and fuel costs as organizations continue to modernize its facilities to meet the changing needs of customers. Economic factors will also continue to impact customer behavior and global markets (e.g. spending habits, construction and energy costs). 10 MCCS VISION & STRATEGY 2025 Without any new productivity gains from the Public Sector, taxes will increase to stifling proportions. The public sector will be required to function with increased levels of efficiency and creativity, and the adoption of privatesector approaches are likely to occur more frequently. Political patterns and spending point to a federal government that is focused on initiatives to improve the quality of life for service members and their families. However, the share of the federal budget available for defense spending may decline with the rise in domestic entitlement funding. Reductions in defense spending will require difficult ‘balancing’ decisions. Programs will be required to quantify their value and importance to the military mission or risk curtailment or cancellation. The Department of Defense will also continue to explore efficiency measures through the pursuit of Joint Capabilities that include a focus on consolidating installation support functions. If not carefully developed, such concepts can infringe on Marine Corps Title 10 authorities and potentially decouple bases and stations as the fifth element of the combined arms Marine Air Ground Task Force. Internal Challenges Further threats include a myriad of internal organizational challenges, to include: inertia; confined operating domains; lack of program awareness, standardization, policy enforcement and clearly defined roles and responsibilities; and ability to effectively re-capitalize in infrastructure, equipment, systems and our most valuable asset-our employees. Acknowledging these trends, we must experience an expanded market share focusing on a new generation of Marines and their families. This experience will introduce numerous opportunities, to include: developing a unified vision/strategy, establishing a performance management culture, growing to be an employer of choice and fostering strategic partnerships. * Source: MCCS Vision and Strategy 2025, pgs 7-12 Download: http://www.usmc-mccs.org/aboutmccs/strategicplan.cfm 11 mccsCP.com/marketingplan MCCS BUSINESS 2015 MCCS BUSINESS 2015 Pacific Views Marine Corps Exchange (PVMCX) performed above financial expectations with the Grand Opening of the Naval Hospital. Although total retail sales were down 5.5% YTD (Aug 2014), PVMCX sales were up by 6%, and are expected to grow through 2015. Food offerings will continue to reflect patron demands with new partnerships. Current projected businesses include Panda Express (Mainside), Moe’s Southwest Grill (Mainside), Ramone’s Mexican BBQ (62 Area), Porter’s Grill (52 Area) and Ramone’s Mexican BBQ (21 Area) and continue to meet the customer demands and expectations. A Japanese sushi concept (20 Area) is currently in progress, as well as a branded quick service restaurant sandwich concept (Mainside) will soon be awarded within the undergoing services mall project. In 2015, Del Mar Beach Resort and San Onofre Beach Recreational Vehicle (RV) patrons will continue to see improvements at both facilities. Enhancements will improve the quality of services and amenities that are provided to our community. Del Mar Beach Resort is currently working on adding Wi-Fi services for beach patrons; installation should be completed by early 2015. A renovation project to upgrade existing bath houses is anticipated to be completed in late summer, as well. San Onofre Beach’s historic Beach Club renovation began in 2014 and is expected to be fully operational by early Spring of 2015. The Beach Club will offer an interior meeting room and exterior patio that can accommodate various types of events such as meetings, private, and social events. San Onofre Beach’s cottage replacement with the new ‘Early California’ beach cottages is ongoing. As of Fall 2014, a total of 10 cottages have been replaced. In addition, the San Onofre Beach RV campsites renovation project will begin in December 2014. The plan is to enlarge the footprint of each RV site and provide much needed amenity enhancements, thus allowing newer and much larger RV’s to take advantage of this outstanding camping opportunity; estimated project completion is late summer 2015. 13 mccsCP.com/marketingplan BRANDING ASSESSMENT BRANDING ASSESSMENT Branding research is conducted annually by the MCCS Marketing Division Camp Pendleton to assess current patron usage and perceptions of MCCS programs.

QoL studies were previously conducted in 1993, 1998, 2002 and 2007. Surveys were administered by a HQMC Study Team or command representative on-site to Marines assigned to USMC Bases and Stations and via online to the remaining active duty Marine population (Marines not on Bases and Stations and Marine Corps Recruiting Command) and to spouses. Over 10,500 active duty and 3,074 spouse surveys were received and analyzed by Marine Corps Combat Development Command, Operations Analysis Division. These surveys measured Marines’ and spouses’ perceptions of, and satisfaction with, QoL in a variety of life areas (life domains). These domains include such areas as housing, compensation, and healthcare to marriage, friendships, and children. While QoL findings were divided into three primary active duty respondent groups, the focus of this paper is on Base & Station Marines and spouses. Marine Corps • • QoL satisfaction has not decreased since the 2002 study and has significantly improved in some life domains despite the increase in operational tempo experienced by Marines over the last decade. The 2002 study had found an “across-the-board” decrease in QoL satisfaction of Marines, i.e., in each of the life domains, as well as with life overall in the Corps. While the 2007 QoL findings demonstrated increased satisfaction in more than half of the life domains, results of the 2012 QoL not only maintained the levels 2007, but surpassed levels in three domains. When Marines and spouses were asked to rank 11 items in terms of importance in contributing to overall QoL; pay and benefits, housing, and healthcare, had the top three mean ranks. Pay and Income • Although satisfaction with overall financial situation has risen incrementally since 2002, both Marines and spouses were significantly more satisfied in 2012 with their overall financial situation. Additionally, Marines that experienced difficulty meeting monthly obligations has dropped from 28.8% to 16.8% since 2007. Housing • Improvements made by the Marine Corps in constructing barracks and family housing are having a positive impact. There was a significant increase in Marines’ satisfaction with BEQ/BOQ, family housing on base, rented civilian housing, and “other housing”. Spouses however, were significantly less satisfied with “military housing in civilian communities”. Health • • • The medical care benefit continues to have a strong positive impact on the retention intentions of Marines and spouses. Marine/family state of health and Marine/family medical care show the greatest potential for influencing intentions to remain on active duty for Base and Station Marines. Nearly three quarters of spouse respondents report medical care available to them has a positive to very positive effect on their desire to remain in the Marine Corps. 34 RESEARCH Relationship with Children • • • Marines were significantly more satisfied in 2012 with the overall relationship with their children. When Marines and spouses were asked to identify “one” critical childcare requirement, four requirements selected most frequently between the two populations were: “occasional babysitting,” “hourly care,” “all day care for pre-school child,” and “before and after school care.” Spouses experienced significantly higher satisfaction with aspects of qualifications of childcare providers, childcare availability, safety of childcare, and overall quality of childcare. Support programs • • Military community support programs and services with at least one-third of Marines report being satisfied to completely satisfied are: Library service; Voluntary Education; Counseling; Personal Financial Management; Transition Assistance; Chaplain Support; Unit, Personal and Family Readiness Program; New Parent Support Program; and Legal services. Spouses were significantly more satisfied with the Lifestyles, Insights, Networking, Knowledge and Skills (L.I.N.K.S.) Program; and significantly less satisfied with the Family Member Employment Assistance Program (FMEAP). Leisure • Fitness, recreation, tickets/tours, and libraries/educational programs stand out as the most used activities for spouses living with their active duty Marine. Military Life • Spouses were significantly less satisfied with aspects of military Separations specifically, “predictability of spouse’s departure,” “timeliness of unit information,” “accuracy of unit information,” and “overall deployment/separations.” Job and Professional Development • • More than half of Marine respondents indicate some level of satisfaction with personal growth and development in their military job. Spouses were significantly less satisfied with aspects of:“job opportunities available to them,” “ease of getting hired,” “Marine Corps’ assistance in helping them find a job,” “cost of educational advancement” and “overall employment situation.” Career Intentions • • The E2-E3, E4-E5, and O1-O3 pay grade groups had significantly less desire to remain in the Marine Corps until eligible for retirement than other pay grade groups. Job/Career and Relocation had more spouses select as a desire to leave the Marine Corps rather than a desire to stay. Key Drivers to Overall Quality of Life Satisfaction • Fitness of Spirit; Military Job; and Income & Standard of Living domains are key drivers of satisfaction with overall Marine QoL whereas Separations and Pay and Benefits domains are key drivers of satisfaction with overall spouse QoL. M&RA will continue to study these issues in detail in an effort to maintain Marine Corps QoL improvements. QoL findings will provide the Marine Corps with valuable information, which will be utilized to develop funding strategies and evolve programs and services to meet the current and future needs of Marines and their families.

The Pendleton Cottages Project is spearheaded by Mr. Bob Clelland, in conjunction with the non-profit Nice Guys of San Diego who provide aid to Wounded Marines, and Hedges Construction of Valley Center, CA. Each cottage is valued at approximately $85k, along with an additional $5k for furnishings, and have been provided through commercial sponsorship. The new cottages are available in both one and two bedroom spaces. While there are currently eleven cottages installed, the vision is to replace all 24 of the old structures. USA A 101 Days of Summer From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the focus is on the 101 critical days of summer, recognized by the Department of Defense and the Marine Corps as one of the most hazardous times of the year. Summer is a time when people get complacent about safety. The program is an effort to keep service members safe, combat ready and strive to raise awareness of substance abuse, educate Marines and Sailors concerning the danger and consequences of illegal drug use, promote conscientious alcohol use and offer fun, healthy alternatives as another means of enjoyment. The program hosts a variety of unit competitions, giveaways, entertainment events, educational opportunities, barbecues and movie nights promoting unit cohesion. Camp Pendleton units compete to accumulate the most points by attending scheduled sporting events, monthly meetings, competitions and unit training functions. The unit that earns the most points is rewarded with respective unit funds. Twenty battalions with close to 15,000 active duty Marines and Sailors aboard Camp Pendleton participated. Single Marine Program (SMP) The mission of the Camp Pendleton SMP and Recreation Centers is to enhance quality of life for single service members by providing positive and rewarding outlets through recreation, community involvement, and dynamic facilities. The SMP was established to provide a forum for Marines to identify quality of life ideas and issues and recommend solutions. Activities and events are as varied as the single Marines the program serves, because it belongs to the Marines. In 2014, SMP and Recreation Centers offered over 617 events on and off Camp Pendleton. Over 25,000 Marines and Sailors participated in these events, along with 208,349 using the eight recreation centers. Ken Grody Ford July 4th Beach Bash The Annual Ken Grody Ford July 4th Beach Bash continued to shine in 2014. There was a robust variety of food and beverage options, along with live bands, giveaways and a free family fun zone. Crowd estimates were in excess of 40,000 authorized military patrons, family members and guests. Cash prizes and giveaways were given throughout the event from the title sponsor, Ken Grody Ford and new partner, Harley Davidson®. The crowd was captivated by the Tribute to Heroes video and thrilled by the closing fireworks display. 61 mccsCP.com/marketingplan MCCS DOING GOOD THINGS Website Giveaways MCCS Camp Pendleton continues the tradition of gift giving! Marines, Sailors and family members logged on to mccsCP.com and registered to win daily gift certificates in December. Lincoln Military Housing has supported this promotion for the past six years with thousands of dollars worth of gift certificates.

The 2014 event boasted a holiday expo, which included; face painting, carnival games, free food & drink samples, crafts and Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus! USA A Commanding General’s Cup The Intramural Sports Program (USAA Commanding General’s Cup) provides active duty personnel stationed at Camp Pendleton, regardless of skill or experience, an opportunity to take part in a competitive unit sports program. This program helps promote combat readiness, Esprit de Corps, leadership, teamwork and loyalty. The program helps identify and enable athletes with exceptional skills to continue on to higher levels of competition. Sports promote democratic competitions emphasizing physical fitness and a balanced program. The USAA Commanding General’s Cup consists of more than 23 Intramural Sporting Events including; Surfing, Combat Water Polo, Racquetball, Paintball, Golf, Trap and four Intramural Leagues (Tackle Football, Soccer, Softball, Basketball) and races from the MARSOC Hard Corps Race Series®. The Athletics team also hosted the All Marine Men’s and Women’s Basketball Trials Camp, the Armed Forces Basketball Men’s and Women’s Championships, along with the US National Pankration World Team Trials. Monarchs for Marines – Mater Dei High School Through a unique partnership with Mater Dei High School, MCCS and the 1st Marine Division have enjoyed collaborating on a multitude of events for Marines, Sailors and their families. Each July, Mater Dei High School students, parents, teachers and coaches descend upon Camp Pendleton to offer free football and dance camps to Camp Pendleton children. On December 6, Mater Dei hosted a Santa lunch as a thank you to Camp Pendleton’s military families. MCCS is proud of this continuing relationship and looks forward to many more years of partnership. Panda Express Serves Holiday Cheer To 1,000+ For the fifth year, Camp Pendleton Marines, Sailors and family members benefited from the generosity of Panda Express owners Eddie and Lani Wang on Christmas Day. Nearly 1,100 meals were provided at no charge to base residents, a value of $9,000. Twelve dedicated staff members volunteered to serve meals at the Pacific Plaza location. The Camp Pendleton community came in droves to enjoy their meal and showed their appreciation on the mccsCP.com Facebook page.

MCCS Human Resources at Camp Pendleton is a full service office that not only assists management in the recruitment and hiring of employees, but also manages employee development programs, administers employee benefit opportunities, ensures that Equal Employment Opportunity laws are enforced and maintains a positive partnership with the Union (National Federation of Federal Employees Local 919). MCCS prides itself on its diverse workforce and is focused on providing all employees with a safe and fair work environment. Human Resources Division Goal MCCS, which strives to be the Employer of Choice, will treat all individuals with respect, while identifying the right people that will add value to the MCCS Quality of Life programs in support of the military and their family members. Human Resources Recruitment Campaign We make it our business to employ motivated individuals that will support America’s Heroes. Workforce Demographics Average employee population is 2,000. Category of employees: Appropriated and Non-Appropriated Employees (approx. 60% “regular” and 40% “flexible”). “Regular” category MCCS employees are eligible for a generous benefit program including: annual leave, sick leave, medical and dental insurance, long term care, life insurance, a retirement plan, a company match 401k program and a Flexible Savings Account. Staffing Office The Human Resources Staffing Office posted over 400 job announcements in 2014. They received over 20,400 applications and resumes and processed an average of 85 new hires per month. Employee Turnover MCCS understands the cost of employee turnover. The turnover rate by division is reported to management once a year and in 2014, MCCS overall turnover rate was 36.3%. The turnover rate is within industry standards, or lower, when compared to similar businesses off-base. In addition, with the number of active duty military and family members that comprise the MCCS workforce, it is a known cost of business that those employees will rotate away from the base causing an increase in turnover. Employee Development MCCS has a strong commitment to training, education and career development of its employees. The dedication to employee development is reflected in the MCCS University program, which encompasses approximately 110 classes and a generous tuition assistance program. EEO/Labor MCCS supports the Commanding Officer’s zero tolerance policy against any acts of discrimination.

In the U.S., carriers’ shelf-space for devices with 4.7-inch or larger screen displays increased from 4 percent to about a third in 2014 alone, matching a sales growth. Larger-screen phones now account for more than onequarter of all sales, according to NPD Group. Millennials’ smartphones never leave their side, day or night. And Facebook’s most recent earnings report this week showed that while overall daily active users grew 8 percent in 2014, mobile daily active users grew 15 percent and mobile-only daily active users grew 34 percent. Where Facebook leads, others follow. Expect the trend across the board on social. What Social Marketers Should Do in 2015 Switch thinking from mobile-aware to mobile-first. Don’t just plan for campaigns and content that “scale down” nicely on mobile. Start with mobile and plan to “scale up” nicely on desktop/laptop. Plan for everyone to experience everything, from marketing emails through websites to social posts, on mobile exclusively. Trend 2: It’s Now a Pay-to-Play Social World Forrester recently reported that brand interaction on organic Facebook posts is now squeezed to 0.073 percent. Social advertising spending continues to rise, though as a whole it still doesn’t match time spent overall on social. Only on Facebook has spending outstripped time spent - 6 percent of U.S. adults’ digital media time is spent on Facebook, but 10 percent of U.S. digital ad spending is now assigned to Facebook. That’s because for most brands, Facebook means social. And Facebook’s ad products continue to improve in sophistication. As other platforms get their ad products launched, spending there will increase, too. Again, where Facebook leads, others will follow. What Social Marketers Should Do in 2015 Ditch thinking about social as a free-place market. Invest in smart social advertising. Take the time needed to really dig deep on audience segmentation and targeting on advertising on the social platforms that are right for your brand. For some brands, that may be just Pinterest’s new ad products. And if Instagram is a smart platform for your audience, take advantage of it now while the organic reach and engagement is high. 115 mccsCP.com/marketingplan SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS: 2015 Trend 3: Social Content Continues as the Rising Marketing Star It’s not like using content to market came out of nowhere. It’s always been there. But the topic of content marketing seemed to attract an inordinate amount of attention in 2014, not only with regard to efficacy, but also about how hard it is to produce quality content in quantity. Marketers have been challenged to produce content for more channels (social, websites, organic search, newsletters, press, paid search, and more), and have been challenged to make that content meaningful and informative. Content will continue to be a central directive for brand marketers on social. What Social Marketers Should Do in 2015 Continue to build content, but be smart about it. Be smart about how content can be leveraged and re-purposed. One expensively produced piece of content can be distributed in multiple ways to get more use - for B2B marketers, one white paper can be leveraged as infographics, charts, slides, videos and more, to squeeze value in more touch points. For consumer marketers, social audiences themselves can be a truly inspired source of content that is authentic and highly shareable, when commissioned, moderated and presented in a creative way. Trend 4: Video Isn’t Just About YouTube Any More Even fairly recently, brands felt it was sufficient to take a TV commercial, put it on YouTube, and consider video marketing as job done. Not anymore. There is increasing interaction with video in places outside YouTube, particularly with short form video on Twitter’s Vine channel, as well as even shorter form GIFs on Tumblr. Yes, there was quite a hue and cry when Facebook announced that they had more video views than YouTube this year, with many people scoffing that it was because of auto-play, not because of a video watching revolution. But let’s not miss the trend. Facebook is now challenging YouTube as a video destination. No doubt Facebook wants to attract the YouTube video celebrities that command such incredible follower interaction. What Social Marketers Should Do in 2015 Look at how video can play in all your marketing channels. Face the fear, video production is expensive and difficult, and look for more creative ways to produce content. Look at how HP solicited video stars to produce short-form Vine videos with great success. Authentic trumps polished and professional. Content on social is about being conversational. About being the human face of a brand. And about being trustworthy and authentic. Particularly for B2B brands, content can help build the trust relationship that helps consumers believe you’re there to educate and inform before you’re there to sell. 116 SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS: 2015 Trend 5: The Social Splinternet Will Continue Facebook is still the biggest, most dominant social game in town and the “lowest common denominator” of social marketing. But it’s not the only game. Social audiences will continue splintering. This social diversity represents a serious challenge for brand marketers - particularly for brands seeking the youth market - who are looking to find the right voice for their audiences in the right location. In 2015 the social imperative will remain to hit the right voice on the right social platform, which may not be Facebook at all. What Social Marketers Should Do in 2015 Be informed about where your audiences spend time. Dig deeper into customization and personalization strategies on social channels that are working best for your audiences Roger Katz (Source http://www.clickz.com/clickz/column/2378721/top-5-social-marketing-trends-for-brands-to-watch-in-2015). 117 mccsCP.com/marketingplan SOCIAL MEDIA SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook continues to dominate the social media platform market and currently has over 1 Billion users worldwide. The MCCS Facebook page experienced tremendous growth in 2014 reaching more than 73K Likes, a 205% increase. The Camp Pendleton MCCS Fan page continues to have one of the largest followings in the Marine Corps. MCCS is actively involved in many other Social Media platforms. As of January 2015, there are over 2,500 Twitter followers, over 120K YouTube video views and over 6M photos viewed on Flickr. The Marketing Division has continued its social media reach with successful integration of Vine and Instagram increasing those platforms by more than 200% in the past year. Social Media was implemented to build connected relationships with existing and new patrons. The shift in consumer behavior has demanded that companies become more transparent and engage with their patrons and communities. By establishing a successful presence on many of the largest social media networks, MCCS continues to send the message to patrons that not only are we listening, but we’re here to help. The focus in 2015 will be the continued growth and development of these platforms in order to market programs, activities, and events as well as continued engagement with the online community. Building promotional campaigns specifically around social media to engage the community with the MCCS brand allows a further extension of reach into patron lives on a daily basis. MCCS Camp Pendleton projects to reach more than 100K “Fans” on the primary Facebook page (Facebook.com/mccsCP) by the end of 2015. Social Media Stats as 1/1/15 • Facebook: 100K fans across 39 Fan Pages.

Style standards are adapted from the latest edition of The Chicago Manual of Style. Please refer to this document for producing any written materials for MCCS. These guidelines help MCCS maintain consistency and accuracy of traditional and digital text as well as graphic design and logo usage. This guide covers recommendations for printing, design and website. Advertising/Marketing Policies Branding Marketing and advertising on-base are subject to MCCS Marketing branding standards. Established MCCS branding templates used for new promotions, event collateral and building/exterior signage materials must be pre-approved by the Marketing Division prior to distribution. Contact Marketing Brand Specialists for branding templates. Annual marketing plans need to be developed and include special events, promotions, sales and budget. Businesses/activities aboard the base are authorized to have a presence on the mccsCP.com website as applicable. Advertising and Marketing Guidelines Clear, concise marketing and advertising is key to reaching the targeted audience. When developing a marketing or advertising campaign, consider the following questions: What is the tone/theme of activity or event? What is the look and feel that should be conveyed? For example, if the event is fun and exciting, is the advertising fun and exciting? What specific information should the audience know about your event? Include the 5 Ws? (Who? What? When? Where? Why?) What can attendees expect at the event? Is the advertising appealing? Will it catch people’s attention? Does it play to their emotions or senses? Is the advertising readable? Catchy? Can readers/viewers understand the message in 30 seconds or less? Will the targeted audience be able to see and remember the message? Where is the message placed? Will the audience be able to see the message again and again? Is the message outside of the box or just following the same routine? Does the advertising meet the guidelines of this style guide? Is it professional looking? Is it capitalized and spelled correctly? Is it following the rules for proper word usage in this guide? Is the logo used correctly and large enough to see? More information on guidelines and requests, go to mccsCP.com/marketing 130 BRANDING Design/Print/Website Guidelines File Types Accepted Adobe Photoshop (.psd), Adobe Illustrator (.eps & .ai) Adobe Acrobat (.pdf), and .jpeg.
