NRC Branding Status
 Navy’s Brand Positioning Statement:
America’s Navy Is The First and Only Military Force That Protects
America and Supports Freedom Through the Power of Presence
 Navy Brand remains: America’s Navy
 Navy Themeline up until July 2014 was: “A Global Force for
Good”
 Effective at recruiting Millenials and Gen Z; but not liked by many
active duty and veterans
 Now divesting, and replacing promotionals by attrition
 Replacement Themeline?
 Quantitative, qualitative, and focus group research by LCE narrowed
new options to 4, but none resonated with senior Navy leadership
 Expect progress to resume mid 2015
