Abstract: 
The purpose of this thesis is to understand the psychographic of today’s modern dads in the household and how to advertise directly to them. The goals of this investigation are to learn how many dads are actually cleaning, what kind of advertising they prefer, and what messages and tactics would be relevant. The marketing goal is getting them to use and become loyal to a household cleaning product, in this paper specifically, the Swiffer Sweeper.
Abstract: 
For years advertising has focused on targeting mom as the primary household cleaner and purchaser of cleaning products, but in the modern age of 2012, dads are cooking, cleaning and caring for children more than ever. With the finding that dads do not feel that ads in many consumer goods categories speak to them, an Integrated Marketing Communication program was created to specifically speak to them and only them.
