Background Information About this Business: 
“AirSelfie  is  a  technology  company  that  operates  in  the  photography  sector 
and  realizes  flying  cameras  that  allow  and  enhance  the  photography 
experiences  of  its  users.  The  company's  unique  vision  has  developed  a  tech  & 
lifestyle  brand  new  market  category  that  never  existed  before:  the  one  of  the 
pocket sized flying cameras.  
 
The  original  inspiration  came  from  the  real  need  of  smartphone  users  of  having 
the  possibility  of  taking  photos  in  brand  new  ways,  as  they  continuously  search 
for  novelties  and  the  flying  photos  are  an  evolutionary  step  in  shooting.  The 
desire  for  the  flying  objects  is  something  innate  in  the  human  soul  and  it’s 
becoming  now  an  explicit  and  real  need  once  the  consumers  could  find  the 
portable flying cameras on the market.  
 
These  pocket  sized  devices  offer  a  completely  new  experience  to  smartphone 
users  and  professional  photographers.  In  tiny  dimensions  AirSelfie  cameras 
permit  to  take  anywhere  and  anytime  photographs  from  a  completely  new 
perspective without the need of anything else than the smartphone. 
 
Its creation came from the analysis of the consumption habits of the smartphone 
users.  The  flying  camera  makes  even  more  people  engaged  in  these  social 
communications  by  let  them  share  photos  taken  in  a  brand  new  way  and  this 
was something not possible since now with the existing devices.  
 
The  expert  know-how  in  AI  and  software  development  of  AirSelfie  is  constantly 
working  on  the  evolution  of  new  pocket  devices  that  could  satisfy  all  the  user 
needs.  AirSelfie  has  signed  important  partnerships  both  in  terms  of  product 
development  and  App  improvement  to  guarantee  the  best  possible  UX  and UI. 
An  in  depth  analysis  of  cognitive  algorithms  and  their  applications  in  specific 
activities  is  already  providing  unique  and  important  results  to extend and widen 
the actual supply on the market and present brand new branch lines.”

PROBLEM STATEMENT 
 
The  AirSelfie  company  has  produced  their  new  product,  the  AirPix,  which  is  a 
pocket-sized  drone  that  is  small,  lightweight,  and  easy  to use. Consumers will be 
able  to  take  stunning  aerial  selfie  photos  and  videos.  Through  the  Indiegogo

KEY PUBLICS 
 
   

 

PEST ANALYSIS 
 
Political 
All  drones  over  250g  must  be  registered  to  fly  the  U.S.  by  the  Federal  Aviation 
Administration  (FAA).  Drones  used  for  recreational  purposes  must  fly  within  the 
line of sight. Drones must never be flown near an aircraft or emergency response 
efforts.  You  are  subject  to  civil  and  criminal  penalties  if  you  do  not  register  a 
drone  that  is  required  to be registered. However, because the AirPix weighs 52g, 
it does require to be registered (UAV Coach, 2019). 
 
Economic 
The early signs of a possible recession have surfaced and Gen Z, a demographic 
of  people  born  mid-1990’s  and  onward,  have  proven  signs  of  frugality.  Having 
grown  up  in  The  Great  Recession  and  seeing  their  parents  walloped  by  the 
financial  crisis,  Gen  Zers  aren’t  attracted  to  unessential  spending.  Not  only  are 
they  looking  at  the  product but the companies as well. ​They’re asking, ‘Are they 
really  delivering  value  to  the  society,  are  they  transparent,  are  they  promoting 
diversity  and  inclusion?’  Soon  to  be  the  economy's  biggest  consumer  spending 
force,  brands  say  that  ‘value’  is  the  best  way  to  reach  the  Gen  Zers  (Du  & 
Milligan, 2019). 
 
Social 
Consumer  habits  have  changed  drastically  by  means  of  how  people  spend. 
Technological  innovations  have  made  it  easier  for  consumers  to  make 
purchases  without  leaving  their  homes. It can be argued that it has lead people 
to  become  impulsive  shoppers.  With  features  that  allow  you  to save credit card 
information,  find  discounts  and  even  2-day  shipping,  it  has  become  an 
expectation  for  consumers  to  want  a  fast  and  convenient  check  out 
(Johansson, 2016). 
 
Technological 
With  the  recent  uprising  of  different  drone  start-up  companies,  it  was  said  to 
believe  that  drones  would  become  an essential part of everyday life just like the 
computer  and  the  cellphone.  However,  the  fall  of  the  top  drone  company  in 
the  industry  brought  down  all  the startups along with it. 3D Robotics failed at the 
industry  because  of  their  poor  management,  ill-advised  projections,  and  failed 
strategies  that  relied  on  a  drone that wasn’t fully developed. 3D Robotics’s most 
promising  drone,  Solo,  had  GPS  failure  that  would  cause  the  drone  to  fly  away 
or  crash.  Early  Solo  didn't  have  a  camera  stabilizer ​due  to  a  production  delay 
causing photo and video unsuitable for consumers (Mac, 2016)​.

Self-Interests and Third-Party Influencer and Opinion Leaders 
 
AirPix  will  be  promoted  through  the  influencer  and  public  figure  approach. 
These  individuals  hold  prominent  standings  on  various  platforms  such  as 
Instagram  and  Twitter.  It  is  important  for  these  opinion  leaders  to  mention  the 
product  in  order  to  raise  awareness  and  garner  more  attention  to  desire  the 
product due to the attraction made by these influencers.  
 
The  product  we  know  will  be  predominantly  used by travelers, families, creators, 
and  athletes  as  well  as  Gen  Z  and  Millenials.  Our  ideal  approach would include 
public  figures  with a fanbase of certain interests and demographics to use, hold, 
or  take  a  picture  or  video  with  the  AirPix  while  posted  and  published  on  social 
media  permanently  or  for  a lengthy period of time — depending on sponsorship 
or partnership deal or contract. 
 
Our goal to reach out to these prominent figures is to contact them personally or 
contact  their publicist or manager for booking, business, or promotional inquiries. 
We  have  resources  like  ​Cision  to  reach  our  target  audience  by  finding  the  right 
channel  and influencer for AirSelfie and the AirPix product. The platform includes 
nearly  1  billion  journalists  and  social  influencer profiles that we are able to reach 
out to and connect with. 
 
Here  are  potential  and  possible  influencers,  public  figures  and  tech  journalists 
we believe would best reach our desired target audience:

KEY MESSAGES FOR EACH KEY PUBLIC 
 
Key Messages for Primary Publics​: 
Taking  a  selfie  can  be  dangerous.  For example, say you’re on vacation taking a 
hike  and  want  that  perfect  selfie  with  the  beautiful  background  but  the  only 
way  to  get  is  to  basically  risk  falling  off  a  cliff.  This  is  no  longer  an  issue.  AirPix  is 
designed  perfectly  for  those  inconvenient,  uncomfortable  selfie  reaches.  This 
product  is  total  hands-free  and  easy-to-use,  not  to  mention  it  can  fit  in  your 
pocket  or  backpack.  It  is  super  light,  has  a  reasonable  flight range, can transfer 
content  straight  to  social  media  and  also  comes  with  facial  recognition  and  a 
high-quality  camera.  The  best  quality  about  AirPix  is  that  it  is  completely 
affordable and the next-best-thing all of your role models are using.   
 
Goal  message  for  Primary  Audience:  AirPix  is  a fun/hands-free product that can 
be used to create the content of your own choice.  
 
 
Key Messages for Secondary Publics​: 
AirPix  is  designed  to  produce  high-quality  content  in  the  most  efficient  way.  It  is 
small  enough  to  fit  in  your  pocket  and  comes  with  many  qualities  such  as 
autonomous  flight,  face  recognition,  gesture  control,  and  instant  and  direct 
social  media  sharing.  AirPix  is  convenient  in  distributing  quality  content and also 
pleasing your fans by allowing you to upload in a reasonable time manner.  
 
Goal  message  secondary  audience:  Provide  a  simple  three-step  process  (or 
tutorial) of AirPix product and promote the product to target audiences.

Provide information about AirPix to the primary key public that will drive followers 
to the Indiegogo site.

Use a secondary key public to influence other key publics to participate in the 
#NoHandsSelfieChallenge on social media.

Encourage participation in the Indiegogo campaign through social media

20 
TOOLS AND TACTICS TO BE USED 
 
TACTICS 
 
TRADITIONAL MEDIA 
An established form of communication that creates awareness of the brand 
(Sailer, 2019). Traditional media is the use of television, radio, and print to 
connect audiences to the product and campaign. We will drive donors for AirPix 
through the Indiegogo site by connecting with television networks that appeal 
to a national audience. ABC, NBC, and CBS are all examples of traditional 
media that have a national audience and established viewership. ​Good 
Morning America, The Today Show, ​and ​CBS This Morning a ​ re easily accessible 
platforms that will effectively connect our target demographics and key publics. 
 
PRESS RELEASES 
A cost-effective outreach tool that promotes and increases awareness of the 
brand (Sailer, 2019). Press releases are a top media relations tool that can bring 
successful media coverage. We will increase donations on the Indiegogo site 
with the use of press releases by targeting and inviting influential tech bloggers, 
journalists, and other media to utilize the site.  
 
EVENTS 
A productive method that grows your product and communicates with your 
audience (Sailer, 2019). Events can establish and expand your community, get 
your brand out there, and develop partnerships. We will plan several events with 
a clear purpose and goal of directing the audience to the Indiegogo site. 
Events will help the audience connect immediately with the AirSelfie company 
and the AirPix product. 
 
POP-UP BOOTHS 
An effective way to earn media coverage and 
attract consumers to the product (Sailer, 2019). 
Pop-up booths and shops allow for the 
audience to gain first-hand knowledge on 
products, promotions, and more. We will utilize 
the tactic of pop-up booths by locating them 
in major tourist locations throughout the 
country. The booths will provide information on 
the product, the Indiegogo site, and the 
step-by-step process on how to purchase an 
AirPix or donate to the campaign. Much like the Birchbox tour in 2015 where the 
online retailer set up shops for consumers to interact with the brand and 
products, our pop-up events will provide an experience for audiences with the 
AirPix that will lead them to the Indiegogo site (Cook, 2018). 

 
21 
PARTNERSHIPS 
An innovative way to grow your audience. Partnerships allow for a mutual 
collaboration of the brands to expand to a variety of audiences (Sailer, 2019). 
We will partner with influencers, bloggers, and journalists who serve an 
assortment of different platforms. The influencers, bloggers, and journalists will 
provide information on the product and the site to their prominent following. 
Through these partnerships, we will increase traffic on the Indiegogo site for the 
AirPix product.  
 
SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS 
An alternative form of media that spreads awareness of the brand through 
social media platforms (Sailer, 2019). Social media campaigns are a newer form 
of tactics that serve to reach a wider variety of audiences. We will use our 
#NoHandsSelfieChallenge across the three popular social media platforms: 
Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. During this campaign, we will encourage 
social media users to post pictures and videos of them attempting to capture 
selfies without the use of their hands. This is a unique, comedic, and entertaining 
challenge for online users to attempt while also highlighting the easy, hassle-free 
product. Garnering attention to the hashtag will direct users to the Indiegogo 
site and provide information on the AirPix.
