BRAND OVERVIEW

Keurig is a single cup coffee maker company that is content on brewing excellence one cup at a time. Brand mission is simple: Choose. Brew. Enjoy. Coffee should always be served fresh -- just like in a gourmet coffee shop wherever you are.

BRAND OVERVIEW

The K-Cup is essential to the brand.

Why brew coffee a pot at a time when we drink it a cup at a time?

Keurig means excellence in Dutch. Partnerships with well known sustainability brands, such as parent company Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, helps boost the brand identity.

PLANNING STRATEGIES

PLANNING STRATEGIES

Trends to keep in mind about our demographics:

Couples and larger households own and use more beverage making single pod devices and should be featured in ads focusing on ease of use and convenience. Low penetration of single pod coffee makers suggests ample opportunity for developing the market, especially when drip coffee makers demand replacement.

TIMING

Campaign would run March through December

The media plan for both demographic subsets would start in March.
25-34 group pulsing out for the summer and strongly pulsing back in with the holiday season. 35-54 remains more constant throughout the duration of the campaign, pulsing strongly in the holiday season.

CONSIDERED, BUT NOT RECOMMENDED

RADIO:
Radio is popular amongst our target demographics, with an index of 106 for individuals age 25-34, 108 for 35-44, and 108 for 45-54. However, were also targeting individuals who are intense coffee drinkers. Based on our data, those specific types of individuals arent listening to radio. (Index of 97 in radio quintile 1.)

TELVISION
As we mentioned before, Keurig is a beautiful product. One would think that highlighting this through a visual commercial would be the best plan of attack. However, our target demographic and heavy coffee drinkers arent watching. See the data here: (TV Quintile 1 Ages 25-34: Index 58 // Ages 34-45: Index 73 // Ages 45-54: Index 93 // Small Pod Owns: 87)

NEXT STEPS

To initiate the media campaign, recommended approval by last week in December to make the earliest closing date and ensure a successful campaign.
