JOHNSON & SON, INC. a Wisconsincorporation; DOES 1-1000, inclusive,Defendant.11121314I, JEANNE C. FINEGAN declare as follows:15INTRODUCTION1617181920211.I am Managing Director and Head of Kroll Notice Media Solutions (“Kroll Media”)an affiliate company of Kroll Settlement Administration (“Kroll”) f/k/a Heffler Claims Group LLC.This Declaration is based upon my personal knowledge as well as information provided to me by myassociates and staff, including information reasonably relied upon in the fields of advertising mediaand communications.2.Pursuant to the Order Preliminarily Approving the Settlement, dated July 12, 2021,22Kroll Settlement Administration (Heffler Claims Group) was appointed as the Settlement23Administrator to provide notification and claims administrative services in Howard Clark v. S.C.2425Johnson & Son, Inc., No. RG20067897, referred to herein as the “Settlement.” Accordingly, KrollMedia was engaged by the Parties in this litigation to develop and implement a legal Notice Programas part of the Parties’ class action settlement.263.Pursuant to the Order, the purpose of this Declaration is to provide a report concerning27the successful implementation of the Notice Program for this Settlement, which commenced on July2830, 2021, and was substantially completed on August 28, 2021.
4.1The Notice Program employed best-in-class tools and technology to reach anestimated 70% of Settlement Class Members nationwide, on average 1.9 times, through publication2media notice through print, online display, search, social media and a press release with cross-device3targeting on desktop, tablet and mobile. Ads were linked to the Settlement Website, where users could4also see the toll-free number.5NOTICE PROGRAM SUMMARY65.78The notice program for this settlement was designed to inform Class Members of theclass action settlement between Plaintiff and Defendant. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, § IIparagraph 2.31, the Settlement Class is defined as:9“All persons that, during the Class Period, both resided in the United States and10purchased in the United States any Product for personal and household use and not for11resale.”6.121314I was informed by Class Counsel and Defendant that the Defendant does not haverecords that could be used as part of a direct notice effort. Therefore, in the absence of ascertainableclass member data (as is the case here), experts have commonly and reasonably relied upon data fromhighly regarded media research bureaus to calculate how many people (i.e., class members) were15reached by a notice program. In Advertising, this is commonly referred to as a “Reach and Frequency”16analysis, where “Reach” refers to the estimated percentage of the unduplicated audience members17exposed to the campaign, and “Frequency” refers to how many times, on average, the target audience1819had the opportunity to see the message. These calculations are used by advertising andcommunications firms worldwide and have become a critical element to help provide the basis fordetermining adequacy of notice in class actions.207.To this end, in developing the notice program, we were guided by well-established21principles of communication and utilized best-in-class nationally syndicated media research data22provided by Simmons/GfK (f/k/a GfK Mediamark Research and Intelligence, LLC),1 “MRI”),23ComScore,2 and Telmar, among others, to provide media consumption habits and audience delivery2425261Simmons-GfK’s Survey of the American Consumer (“MRI”) is the industry standard for magazine audience ratingsin the U.S. and is used in the majority of media and marketing agencies in the country. MRI provides comprehensivereports on demographic, lifestyle, product usage and media exposure.22728ComScore is a global Internet information provider on which leading companies and advertising agencies rely forconsumer behavior insight and Internet usage data. ComScore maintains a proprietary database of more than 2 millionconsumers who have given ComScore permission to monitor their browsing and transaction behavior, including onlineand offline purchasing.DECLARATION OF JEANNE C. FINEGAN, APR CONCERNING CLASS MEMBER NOTIFICATION
1verification of the potentially affected population. These data resources are used by advertisingagencies nationwide as the basis to select the most appropriate media to reach specific target2audiences. Specifically, this research identifies which media channels are favored by the target3audience (i.e., the Class members), for instance, browsing behaviors on the Internet, social media4channels that are used, and which magazines Class members are reading. The resulting key findings5were instrumental in our selection of media channels and outlets for determining the estimated net6audience reached through this legal notice program.8.7This media research technology allows us to fuse data and accurately report to theCourt the percentage of the target audience that was reached by the notice component and how many8times the target audience had the opportunity to see the message.99.The notice program included the following components:10 Consumer Legal Remedies Act (“CLRA”) notice in a local California newspaper;11 Online display banner advertising specifically targeted to reach Class Members;12 Keyword Search targeting Class Members;13 Social media through Facebook and Instagram;14 A press release across PR Newswire’s US1 Newslines; An informational website was established on which the Notices and otherimportant Court documents are posted; and A toll-free information line was established by which Class Members can call24/7 for more information about the Settlement, including, but not limited to,requesting copies of the Long Form Notice or Claim Form.15161718CLRA NOTICE1910.20as follows:2122Compliant with California’s CLRA, Civil Code § 1750, et seq., notice was published11.The summary notice was published in The Alameda Sun once a week for four weekson August 5, 2021, August 12, 2021, August 19, 2021 and August 26, 2021.12.2324Copies of the CLRA notice are attached as Exhibit A.PUBLICATION ELEMENTS – ONLINE DISPLAY AND SOCIAL MEDIA2513.This campaign employed a programmatic approach3 across multi-channel and2627283Programmatic refers to computerized media buying of advertising inventory. The mechanics of programmaticallyserving an online ad are as follows: A user visits a website and the browser sends a request to the publisher’s webDECLARATION OF JEANNE C.

Over 78 million online display, search and social media impressions were served across23an allowlist4 of pre-vetted websites, multiple exchanges, and the social media platforms Facebookand Instagram.414.Keyword search targeting was employed to show advertisements to users in their5Google search results. A list of search topics including Windex settlement, Windex class action,6Windex coupons, Windex Vinegar, Windex Multi-Surface, among others, was applied.15.78Copies of the display and social media ads are attached as Exhibit B.SOCIAL MEDIA: FACEBOOK AND INSTAGRAM916.On Facebook and Instagram, we targeted those who have liked or followed Windex10and SC Johnson pages, adults 35 years and older with an interest in cleaning, and people who have11listed their job title as cleaner, housekeeper and similar. The social media campaign included12retargeting to users who visited the Settlement website.PRESS RELEASE1317.14A press release was issued over PR Newswire’s US1 Newslines on July 30, 2021.Approximately 110 news mentions of the settlement have resulted from the press release. Attached15as Exhibit C is a copy of the pick-up report.16OFFICIAL SETTLEMENT WEBSITE1718.1819On July 30, 2021 Kroll created and is currently hosting a dedicated website,www.clarkclasssettlement.com All of the aforementioned methods of notice directed class membersto this website. The website served as a “landing page for the banner advertising,” where Class20Members could get information about the Settlement and obtain and/or submit a Claim Form, along21with other information which includes information about the class action, their rights, the Long Form22Notice, answers to frequently asked questions, contact information that includes the address for the232425262728server asking for the page’s content (i.e., HTML). An invocation code placed on the page loads an external static adtracker code. The ad tracker makes a request to the ad server querying for an ad markup (also called creative tag) to beloaded into the ad slot. The ad server responds with the ad markup code (before it’s returned, the ad server executes alltargeting/campaign matching logic). Finally, the publisher’s web server returns the information rendering the page’scontent with specifically targeted ads to that user.4An allowlist is a custom list of acceptable websites where ad content may be served. Creating a whitelist helps tomitigate ad fraud, ensure ads will be served in relevant digital environments to the target audience and helps to ensurethat ads will not appear next to offensive or objectionable content.DECLARATION OF JEANNE C.
