2013 marked several milestones in the 45+ year history of the International CES. By
exhibitor count and net square feet, it was the largest CES ever -- featuring 3,250
exhibitors across 1.9 million net square feet of exhibit space (about 45 football fields).
More than 20,000 products were launched and over 150,000 attendees came from
170 countries.

But going into the 2013 CES, many were holding their breath to see whether the show
would still have its mojo. The show has always been missing major tech players, like
Apple, Google and Amazon, yet this year marked the first that Microsoft pulled its
hold on the opening keynote address and its prodigious exhibition space.

Startups, many of which began on Kickstarter, stole substantial limelight. Major
overseas manufactures, like Samsung and LG presented a view of the future that was
believable and tangible. More representatives from non-consumer electronics focused
companies also were drawn in to the annual buzz.

The result was a hugely successful 2013 CES -- leading many journalists and attendees
alike to praise the show for having had returned to relevance. The 2014 International
CES will be held January 7-10, 2014. Are you ready to make the most of it?
THE NEW CES &                                                                                        04


WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU
Back in 2012, we released a report asserting that the International CES
was on the brink of an evolution -- not, as many analysts and press core
argued, irrelevance. If the 2013 CES proved anything, it’s that the
evolution we foresaw is now in full swing. Savvy brands and marketers
today are no longer questioning if they should show up at CES, but how
they should show up at CES.
                                                                               Ben Grossman
By all accounts, the last few years of CES have had a snowball effect.         Digital Strategist

launches. Product launches brought media. Media brought marketers.             +1 617 752 1171
Marketers brought publishers. Publishers brought more media. Media
brought tangential industries. And today, the massive event draws people
of all types -- ranging from interested consumers to executive delegations
from the world’s largest companies.

Going into CES 2014, the biggest recommendation
we’re making to our clients is to question everything.

This isn’t your grandfather’s CES. There’s much, much more than the show
floor -- in fact many attendees are giving their feet a break and skipping it
altogether. So before plastering a booth with a new theme and sprinkling
some new products around or before ‘just attending’ and hoping to find
value, take a look at some of our insights.

We’ve prepared this report to help profile exactly who attends CES, how
they take in the show and, most importantly, how brands can reach them
to deliver measurable business results that matter.

WHO THEY ARE, WHY THEY COME & HOW TO REACH THEM
WHO THEY ARE:
The top 100 (and many smaller) retail buyers flock to CES
every year to decide what goes on the shelves and into
fulfillment centers in the coming year.

Additionally, many major technology companies attend,
including Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft (none of
which formally exhibit).

      companies are also using CES as a way to get a sense
      of broader trends in consumers and technology that help
      them prepare their businesses for the future.

      with major manufacturers, like Apple, show up to gain
      insight into competitive companies.

HOW TO REACH THEM:

WHO THEY ARE, WHY THEY COME & HOW TO REACH THEM
WHO THEY ARE:
Although CES tries to prevent the general public from gaining
access to the show, there’s a large contingent of Floor
Warriors who view the show through consumer lens. This
population is comprised of small to medium sized
consumer electronics buyers; tech-savvy prosumers; and --
yes -- the occasional consumer who’s just interested in
seeing the show first hand.

WHY THEY COME:                                                    Floor Warriors lined up in droves to play Joy

      to appear as an authority on what’s next in technology
      within social circles (professional and personal).

   2. Free Stuff: Every year, there are significant lines of
      Floor Warriors waiting for any opportunity to snag free
      swag, prizes and premiums. They sign up for CES early
      (when it’s free) and look to grab maximum value.

   3. Small Orders: Each year, companies are faced with
      at least some attendees who want to buy things right off
      the floor or in small quantities. While some exhibitors
      will engage, most Floor Warriors get turned down.

HOW TO REACH THEM:
Floor exhibits, especially those with free take-aways; all free
CES events and parties.

How to be one of the best brands at CES

  • 2. TABLE OF CONTENTS OVERVIEW OF CES 2013 .................................................... 3 THE NEW CES & WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU .......................... 4 5 TYPES OF PEOPLE & HOW BRANDS CAN REACH THEM ..... 5 #1: MEGA MEDIA #2: BIG CE BUYERS #3: EXECUTIVE ENVOYS #4: FLOOR WARRIORS #5: SURROUNDING CIRCLES HOW TO PLAN YOUR BRAND EXPERIENCE .........................18 JACK MORTON WORLDWIDE ............................................ 16
  • 3. 03 2013 marked several milestones in the 45+ year history of the International CES. By exhibitor count and net square feet, it was the largest CES ever -- featuring 3,250 exhibitors across 1.9 million net square feet of exhibit space (about 45 football fields). More than 20,000 products were launched and over 150,000 attendees came from 170 countries. But going into the 2013 CES, many were holding their breath to see whether the show would still have its mojo. The show has always been missing major tech players, like Apple, Google and Amazon, yet this year marked the first that Microsoft pulled its hold on the opening keynote address and its prodigious exhibition space. Startups, many of which began on Kickstarter, stole substantial limelight. Major overseas manufactures, like Samsung and LG presented a view of the future that was believable and tangible. More representatives from non-consumer electronics focused companies also were drawn in to the annual buzz. The result was a hugely successful 2013 CES -- leading many journalists and attendees alike to praise the show for having had returned to relevance. The 2014 International CES will be held January 7-10, 2014. Are you ready to make the most of it?
  • 4. THE NEW CES & 04 WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU Back in 2012, we released a report asserting that the International CES was on the brink of an evolution -- not, as many analysts and press core argued, irrelevance. If the 2013 CES proved anything, it’s that the evolution we foresaw is now in full swing. Savvy brands and marketers today are no longer questioning if they should show up at CES, but how they should show up at CES. Ben Grossman By all accounts, the last few years of CES have had a snowball effect. Digital Strategist Buyers drew consumer electronics brands. Brands brought product ben_grossman@jackmorton.com launches. Product launches brought media. Media brought marketers. +1 617 752 1171 Marketers brought publishers. Publishers brought more media. Media brought tangential industries. And today, the massive event draws people of all types -- ranging from interested consumers to executive delegations from the world’s largest companies. Going into CES 2014, the biggest recommendation we’re making to our clients is to question everything. This isn’t your grandfather’s CES. There’s much, much more than the show floor -- in fact many attendees are giving their feet a break and skipping it altogether. So before plastering a booth with a new theme and sprinkling some new products around or before ‘just attending’ and hoping to find value, take a look at some of our insights. We’ve prepared this report to help profile exactly who attends CES, how they take in the show and, most importantly, how brands can reach them to deliver measurable business results that matter.

  • 6. #1: MEGA MEDIA 06 WHO THEY ARE, WHY THEY COME & HOW TO REACH THEM WHO THEY ARE: The Mega Media is comprised of a combination of roving reporters, bloggers, analysts, media personalities and celebrities all of whom float through CES trying to have the biggest and best impact possible. But media outlets no longer simply send reporters to the show to report back. Today, major media publications set up on-site CES studios allowing them to broadcast live with impressive production quality. CNET & TechCrunch set-up on-site studios for live WHY THEY COME: coverage and interviews, asserting coverage 1. Sponsored Appearances: Celebrities and popular dominance and credibility. media personalities are often brought in by brands to make appearances as part of exhibits or conferences. 2.

  • 8. #2: BIG CE BUYERS 08 WHO THEY ARE, WHY THEY COME & HOW TO REACH THEM WHO THEY ARE: The top 100 (and many smaller) retail buyers flock to CES every year to decide what goes on the shelves and into fulfillment centers in the coming year. Additionally, many major technology companies attend, including Apple, Amazon, Google and Microsoft (none of which formally exhibit). WHY THEY COME: Tat’z Nails and 3D printers demo well on the floor for casual buyers, but not all brands are successful 1.

HOW TO REACH THEM: Stand-out show floor exhibits; private meeting spaces; private showcases; client dinner events; VIP concerts and shows; awards programs; powerful press coverage; pre-event networking; paid media; premium experiences during CES.

Awarded products mark some of buyers’ first stops.
  • 10. #3: EXECUTIVE ENVOYS 10 WHO THEY ARE, WHY THEY COME & HOW TO REACH THEM WHO THEY ARE: Companies from around the world send teams of executives and the c-suite to CES as an immersive experience to bring them up-to-speed on technology and consumer trends. While these Executive Envoys are not sent to conduct transactional business, they are sent to network, make larger deals and bring a refreshed perspective back to their companies. WHY THEY COME: Lenovo and Samsung were among the many 1. High-Level Networking & Deal Making: companies which held private meetings with Executive Envoys engage in significant amounts of executives in exhibits and off-site hotel suites. networking, using CES as a meeting place, not a showcase of consumer technology. 2. Trend Sense: Some companies send select individuals to CES to bring back a sense of upcoming trends with consumers and technology to their teams. 3.

HOW TO REACH THEM: Curated, show floor tours; major keynote addresses; private meeting rooms; private parties; networking dinners and cocktail hours; premium experiences during the show.

  • 12. #4: FLOOR WARRIORS 12 WHO THEY ARE, WHY THEY COME & HOW TO REACH THEM WHO THEY ARE: Although CES tries to prevent the general public from gaining access to the show, there’s a large contingent of Floor Warriors who view the show through consumer lens. This population is comprised of small to medium sized consumer electronics buyers; tech-savvy prosumers; and -- yes -- the occasional consumer who’s just interested in seeing the show first hand. WHY THEY COME: Floor Warriors lined up in droves to play Joy Factory’s game for a chance to win prizes and 1. Social Currency: Floor Warriors come to CES simply enjoy Wi-Fi and snacks at WD’s outdoor booth. to appear as an authority on what’s next in technology within social circles (professional and personal). 2. Free Stuff: Every year, there are significant lines of Floor Warriors waiting for any opportunity to snag free swag, prizes and premiums. They sign up for CES early (when it’s free) and look to grab maximum value. 3. Small Orders: Each year, companies are faced with at least some attendees who want to buy things right off the floor or in small quantities. While some exhibitors will engage, most Floor Warriors get turned down. HOW TO REACH THEM: Floor exhibits, especially those with free take-aways; all free CES events and parties.
  • 13. #4: FLOOR WARRIORS 13 WHAT BRANDS ARE DOING TO REACH THEM POLAROID FOTOBAR NEW YORK TIMES: Floor Warriors hovered around WORD CLOUD PORTRAITS Polaroid’s showcase of its upcoming At an event focused completely on Fotobar concept.

  • 14. #5: SURROUNDING CIRCLES 14 WHO THEY ARE, WHY THEY COME & HOW TO REACH THEM WHO THEY ARE: Increasingly large numbers of companies and attendees from industries tangentially related to the consumer electronics industry end up at CES. These Surrounding Circles come from companies including marketing agencies, small business services, media vendors, digital services, software developers and many more. WHY THEY COME: Salesforce and American Express are among the 1.

Social Currency: Many attendees within the Surrounding Circles enjoy a reflective glory of having attended one of the world’s largest trade shows. 3.

As a result, new types of exhibitors, targeted mini-conference series and a broad array of specialty panels have been added to CES. HOW TO REACH THEM: Specialty panels; specialty target audience specific events; mini- conference series; floor exhibits; promotional events; after hours parties; networking dinners; media placements.
