Strategy Elements The Strategy Elements are non-consumer facing ideas that summarize what SUN TRACKER® is all about. These ensure all marketing materials work together to strengthen and sustain the brand. Brand Essence By embodying all aspects of the Strategy, the Brand Essence brings it to life by highlighting the tone of the campaign. Brand Personae These are the celebrities that best illustrate what SUN TRACKER stands for—they’re not spokespeople for the brand. The personae are chosen based upon attitudes, roles, abilities and actions—onscreen and off. Reference the Brand Personae when thinking about the attitude of SUN TRACKER to help understand the nuances between boat brands. Brand Tagline This is the heart of SUN TRACKER and quickly sums up the spirit of the brand. It speaks to what the brand represents—what owners should expect from our boats. It’s based on what we know owners want from this type of boat. It’s the inspiration for all the visuals and copy during this year’s campaign. Emotional Benefit This is what kind of emotions the SUN TRACKER brand and boats evoke within our customers. This is reflected in the tone, imagery and language we use when talking about the brand, as well as how we hope the consumer feels when they encounter a SUN TRACKER boat. Functional Benefit This speaks to what SUN TRACKER boats and their features offer functionally. This is reflected in the tone, imagery and language we use when talking about features and technical aspects. Refer to this benefit to understand how copy and design should speak to the boat’s core functionality, e.g., versatility, comfort and style. Music Style This is the type of music that truly speaks to this brand. It aligns perfectly with the on-screen visuals/videos to create a completely immersive experience for the viewer. 3
Mood Boards Objective The mood board provides creative inspiration by showing key elements of the SUN TRACKER® brand campaign. It is for internal presentations only—not customer- facing use or display. 4

Photography Style SUN TRACKER photography captures the perfect moments between family and friends. It uses sunshine and smiles to illustrate the comfort, quality and versatility of the boats. The U.S. has a diverse range of ethnicities with a great deal of dynamic growth among ethnic groups. As a brand that strives to appeal to those of all ethnic backgrounds, we must acknowledge that we understand this diversity and reflect it in our creative imagery.

Copy Style SUN TRACKER® headlines and copy blocks should focus on how these pontoon boats are ready for years of on-the-water fun with family and friends. Keep headlines and copy as short and concise as possible. Both should also be more conversational and emotional than technical, and informative when necessary. Social copy can be even more casual, but never to the point of being unprofessional.
