Original Brief
selection of big name brands have decided (possibly unwisely),
to extend into new product territory. The client requires you to
create an advertising campaign to sell the new product line or
service, by utilising the qualities that the brand have built over
many years.
It has been decided that the campaign should be based around
a TV/film spot of 30. But as with every campaign today, the
idea must be integrated, with thought given to how it might
work on other platforms or in other media as the campaign rolls
out.
You will need to:
1. Research the brand, its history and position and acquaint
yourself with all the brand qualities that are associated with it.
2. Research the market place that the new product will fit into,
assessing carefully the competition and how the new product
might best stand out.
3. Use idea generation ( ideation techniques ) to find the best
possible solution to the brief and work the idea up to
storyboard level ( at least ).
4. Create visuals to show the idea working and extending across
media and so outlining a marketing strategy for the future.

Rolex is looking to expand their brand to a wider market, this

unknown territory is yoghurt. It is our job to create an
advertising campaign to launch and sell this product to the
general public by researching Rolex as a brand and projecting
these key brand identities within the advertisements and the
product. The campaign should establish a target audience which
includes not only Rolexs existing customers but also aspiring
Rolex owners. The campaign must contain a compulsory 30
second film/TV broadcast but can also incorporate any other
appropriate mediums throughout the campaign which should
encompass Rolexs key themes and features.
The campaign should also include:
Research of Rolex since it began with key dates and events
throughout the brands history that may be useful in the up and
coming campaign.
Research of Yoghurt brands and how Rolex with compare to
these as both a brand and yoghurt.
Range of ideas for the product and campaign. Create at least a
storyboard for the video and develop a range of ideas
Make sure it is clear what the working idea is and how it will be
extended through a range of mediums if necessary.

!In 1905 Rolex was established in London by Hans Wildorf and
!his brother-in-law Alfred Davis under the name of Wilsdorf
!
!and Davis. The company then relocated to Geneva in 1919
!
!because at the time it was renowned for its watch making.
!
!Rolex had entered into the watch market as a huge game
!
!changer when it began its development of the first waterproof
!
!watch. This began development in 1926 and was given the
!
!name Oyster (Now a major collection from Rolex.) This then
!lead to marketing for the brand and this watch from 'The Cross
!
!Channel challenge, in 1927 the watch made it across the
!
!channel on the wrist of Mercedes Gleitze and remained in
!
!perfect working condition after the swim which lasted over 10
!
!hours. After this prestigious event Rolex published a full-page
!
!in the Daily Mail announcing the success of the watch. After
!the initial swim over the channel the watch was then tested by a
!
!team flying over Everest in 1933 with fantastic results when the
!
!crew were all highly satisfied with the quality of the watch.
!
!In 1931 Rolex stunned the watch world yet again by creating
!
!the worlds first self winding mechanism with a Perpetual rotor.
!
!This watch design is now used in every modern day automatic
!
!watch.

Research
Rolex
Next it was the need for speed, Rolex joined Sir Malcolm
Campbell on the 4th September 1935 to set the world land
speed record of over 3,000 miles per hour at Bonneville Salt
Flats, Utah. Sir Malcolm Campbell even wrote a letter to Rolex
thanking them for the watches high performance informed
them it was still working perfectly under strenuous conditions.
Dadejust was another extraordinary leap for Rolex and the
Oyster collection, displaying the date in a window on the watch
face. This revolutionised the watch collection therefore making
1945 an important year for Rolex
and their developments in the
watch industry. 1947 saw the
puzzle of the mystery man, Hans
Wilsdorf presented the Datejust
to a mysterious gentleman he
described as one of the greatest
figure of time in celebration of
the 100,000th officially certified
chronometer.

Research
Rolex
!

In 1953 Rolex decided to create a set of watches intended for professional activities including deep-sea diving,
mountain climbing, aviation and scientific exploration, this therefore created enthusiasm for the watch and Rolex
became known as the watch of achievers.

The Explorer: Equipped with Oyster perpetuals, Sir John Hunts expedition made it to the summit of Everest in 1953,
then following this in 1953 the Oyster perpetual Explorer was released after the inspiration gained from the
adventure up Everest.

The Submariner: This was the first divers watch released in 1953 which was waterproof to a depth of 100 metres.

The Day-Date: In 1956 the Oyster perpetual Day-Date was released, this was the first wristwatch to display both the
date and the day of the week on the watch face.

The Milgauss: In 1956 CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear research confirmed that The Milgauss watch
could resist magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss.

Rolex as a brand is associated with elegance and luxury. It is something to aspire to own, a timeless essential. They
target upper class males over 35 meaning they are more likely to have money to spare on a Rolex or be able to save
up for a Rolex as a peak of success.

Research
Yoghurt
Yoghurt is a fairly standard food product with nothing particularly fancy about it. Yoghurt is created through the bacterial
fermentation of milk - fancy. Yoghurt is rich in protein, calcium and many vitamins and has been known to have many health
benefits. There are a range of yoghurt producers from own brands to some more expensive brands. There are also a range of
flavours, textures and organic variations including frozen yoghurt which has become increasingly popular in recent years.
From our research into the UKs top yoghurt brands, we found that Muller, the countrys top brand offered a more luxury
yoghurt with a range of flavours and options such as childrens ranges and a lighter range while Activia, the second best, offers
a healthy yoghurt that aids digestion, this is also available in a range of flavours but is mostly eaten for its digestion aiding
qualities. From this research it gave the option of luxury or healthy yoghurts, as Rolex is seen as both a luxury product yet also
well known for its adventure meaning a healthy lifestyle.

Research
Yoghurt

Market Research of the Yoghurt Industrys Growth from 2013 - 2014

Total yogurt expenditure has increased by 7.4% to just under 1.5 billion.
The average price per kg of yogurts has increased 4.0% year-on-year (YOY) to 2.49/kg.
Volume sales of yogurts grew by 3.3% YOY to just under 593 thousand tonnes.
Both private label yogurts and branded yogurts have posted volume growth of 3.3%.
(Taken from The Dairy Co, Market Information, Yoghurt Market 2014)

How this is relevant to our campaign:

More people are buying yoghurt products, meaning a larger market for sales.
The average price per kg of yogurts increasing means that prices can be higher.
A growth in volume of sales mean it is likely that Rolex will sell more products.
Luxury yoghurts have the second highest market spend and the third highest volume of
sales, meaning that Rolex will be able to charge a higher amount and sell more yoghurts
in a luxury market then if it entered a childrens, plain or low fat market.
The frozen yoghurt industry saw a boom of 74% growth from 2011-2013, so perhaps
frozen yoghurt would be a good avenue for Rolex Yoghurt to explore if it wants to stay
up to date with current market trends.

Insight
!
The main insight we found from this research is that 2019 marks 100 years of Rolexs move to
Switzerland. This therefore would make the perfect time to release the yoghurt to celebrate the
occasion.
We decided to create a frozen yoghurt due to its up and coming popularity. This would also allow us
to be creative with colouring and flavours and appeal to a wide target audience, combining the class
and elegance of Rolex with the up and coming appeal of frozen yoghurt. We also decided that the
product would need to stand out from others, it would need a more elegant identity and the
packaging would have to be more luxurious than any other yoghurt.

For the campaign we decided to go with a more low key advertising campaign to reflect the exclusivity
and superiority of the brand. We would create a website only accessible through a QR code entitling
the audience to a sneak preview of the commercial. Therefore the build up campaign would be a
secretive one and build suspense for the launch of Rolex Yoghurt.
We want the campaign to be exclusive as this is the main theme which consistently recurred during
our research.

We used word association to formulate

ideas about both the rolex brand and
yoghurt products, these ideas came from
automatic reactions to the key words
Rolex and Yoghurt.

Using the results, we tried to formulate a

product where the elements were
combined, this proved difficult because
the words are the complete opposite to
each other, with one being luxury and
one being incredibly mainstream.

!
During our idea formation process we decided to aim for 6 ideas.

F1 - from our research we found that rolex were the official time keepers of the F1, we thought the
yogurt could specifically target the F1 market which can be sold at F1 races

Due to rolex sponsoring many exhibitions creating a morning yogurt which provides energy and
nutrition for the budding exhibitioner and golfer.

Following Rolexs sponsoring we noticed that they sponsor the opera and F1, where we could sell the
yogurt.

The female market is not directly targeted by rolex, we thought of trying to target the female market to
increase brand awareness.

Create a yogurt based on male desires e.g. alcohol flavours but not to be associated with the F1.

Create a frozen yogurt, to keep up with the modern day changes.

Based on our research, we have decided to create two variations of Rolex Yoghurt, one which will
be sold exclusively at events, and one which will be sold in stores.

Final Idea
Using a combination of ideas 3, 6, and 5, weve decided to create a
frozen yogurt within a whiskey glass to be sold at the operas which
are sponsored by Rolex
Why a whiskey glass?
By using a whiskey glass, Rolexs target market can easily be met.
The idea of being able to keep the glass adds more value to the
product and creates desire for the product (if it were to be sold for
a limited time).
Where will you sell the yogurt?
The idea is to sell the product within the opera which rolex already
sponsor, Rolex is an exclusive partner to The Vienna Philharmonie
Orchestra (2008). They are also an exclusive sponsor of the New
Years Concert and so this is where we would launch the product.
We will also sell the product in Harrods.
Why launch it at the Opera?
Not only because of the sponsorship, but the people who attend
the opera are more likely to purchase the product. Rolex
encourages individual excellence and the pursuit to perfection.
Perhaps sell the product exclusively at the New Years Concert in
Whiskey glasses, then sell the product in Harrods during January.

The Product:
Rolex Yoghurt will be a low fat, frozen yoghurt
which contains flakes of edible 23 carat gold leaf,
this will only add to its luxurious nature.

! We will use leaflets given out in Harrods to build

! little information about the product, purely showing
!
! the slogan Experience the luxury at Harrods alongside
!
! the Rolex logo and a QR code which will take the
!
! consumer to a website which feature only the Rolex
!
! logo and the 30 second campaign advert, leaving the
!
! consumer to decode the leaflet.
! The hope for this campaign would be that a buzz is
!
! created around the launch of the yoghurt, particularly
!
! online as it is likely that websites such as Twitter could
!
! really help spread excitement about the products
!
! launch at Harrods.

in Harrods along with a design for the Whisky glass and a photo of the prototype which
we had made. Unfortunately, the prototype did not arrive as expected and we were un
able to get the logo onto the glass, ideally the glass would have featured the Rolex logo
and featured an etched rim.

These are our final designs. We decided to abandon the

rimmed edging on the whisky glass as we felt that the
smooth edging gave the glass a more timeless look.

We also decided to go for a more simple design for the

Harrods pot as we felt it gave continuity to the product,
what with looking similar to the glass.

!

Rolex Yoghurt will be released for the first time on the 1st January 2018. The reason for the delay in the launch is to build
suspense and also due to this date being the 100 year anniversary of Rolexs move to Geneva. We knew that Rolex cpuldnt just
bring out a yoghurt for no reason, all of their adverts contain the slogan This is the only thing we make, and the only thing we
will ever make, so there had to be a reason. That reason? Celebration.
The yoghurt will be released in a sapphire crystal whisky glass, the same material used to create the glass on all Rolex watches, at
the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra's New Years concert, which sponsored by Rolex.
Only 100 Rolex owners will be invited to the event and they will be chosen from the owners who live in London. Guests who are
invited will receive a letter informing them of the event but this letter will not disclose any detail about the product.

The spot will appear on TV and the Rolex
Yoghurt launch website, which can be access via a
QR code on the back of the Harrods launch
leaflets.

The video will feature a black background with a

rotating empty whisky glass, the glass will slowly
start to fill up while rotating slowly to display the
Rolex logo engraved on the glass, the logo will
the come to the forefront of the screen as the
glass fades away and we simply see the logo with
Exclusively at Harrods' written underneath. The
video will then fade to black. The video will
feature closeups of the special aspects on the glass
as it rotates, such as the gold flakes and sapphire
glass. Habanera from George Bidets 1875 opera
Carmen will play in the background, this is to
add dramatic effect but also to reference the
opera event which the product launched during.

Above is the design for our leaflet which will be handed out in Harrods of London before and after the product is released. Each
leaflet will be sealed with a high quality golden Rolex sticker and crafted from the finest card.
The leaflet features a QR code on the back which will take the consumer to a website which shows the 30 second spot.
In addition to this, the staff handing out leaflets will inform Harrods customers that they have the opportunity to win a Rolex by
purchasing one of the 4,000 yoghurt pots which will be sold exclusively at Harrods throughout 2019. The reason we have decided
to only release 4,000 yogurts in 2019 is to represent the 4,000 watchmakers but also, so that Rolex can test the waters with their
new product rather than leaping into the market, due to it being such a change from selling luxury yoghurts.
