1. Marketing Challenge
POSITIVE EXAMPLE
“Our brand was launched with the ambition to claim market leadership,
in line with the vision that broadband was the future of telecom. But
research showed that “Price of the service” and “Connection speed” were
the most important buying criteria – and on both of these measures,
our brand was inferior.

1. Marketing Challenge
POSITIVE EXAMPLE
“The BRAND was the newest player on a highly dynamic
market: by 2007, the total consumer internet connections
increased with 70% vs. PY.
POSITIVE EXAMPLE
“When the brand was launched (Jan’07), the Internet market had
already been built by cable companies and neighborhood networks.
And until 2007, two big cable companies – ABC and DEF – controlled
the market.
POSITIVE EXAMPLE
“Marketing Challenge
- Reverse the 3-year declining sales trend and bring
refreshment to a brand that is perceived as one “for older
people”
Objectives
- Increase volume share vs. the same period last year (by at
least 1,5 pp)
- Strengthen brand perception by making young consumers
see it as cool again”

3. Target Audience
3. Target Audience
Quality of marketing research: Are there any
bright new consumer insights?
Communication strategy should be based on strong, deep consumer
insights
Briefs that show innovative consumer research results should get more
points vs. the ones that claim obvious, cliché facts
POSITIVE EXAMPLE
“For our young audience, the Internet conveys information and
facilitates experiences that help them evolve. By accumulating
information they are able to move to the “next level” of their identity,
modeling it by experiencing new life situations (some more bizarre than
others).
But the key insight is happening after each online experience: every time
you get back to the computer, you start this “experiencing” cycle all over
again. In this sense the Internet is truly nonstop.”
3. Target Audience
How does the Consumer Insights / Creative
Strategy relate to Communication Objectives?
POSITIVE EXAMPLES
“The key-insight is happening after each online
experience: every time you get back to the
computer, you start an “experiencing cycle” all
over again. In this sense the Internet is truly
nonstop.”
“In order to regain relevance in the category and boost stagnant sales, our soft small
cake brand needed to expand its traditional consumer base made of housewives by
recruiting volume-driving mainstream young women.
Therefore, it needed to develop a communication that both targeted young women, and
added hype to the brand.
The creative strategy started from the RTB of the product – a combination of “a
lot” from each ingredient preferred by women in cakes – and looked for the insight that
made sense in the current lifestyle of young women to best deliver the promise of the
cake.
The result was the cake for the picky women who only go for a lot of everything.

POSITIVE EXAMPLE
“Our beauty brand was promising to help
women revive their long term relationships.
The rationale behind that was built around a research
finding showing that the secret reason for which the
targeted 30 and smtg. married women wanted to look
good was precisely to bring back the romantic passion
in their a bit too established couple. “
5. Media Strategy
5. Media Strategy
Are there any major changes in brand’s media
mix?
Some brands introduce for big campaigns important
new media channels (e.g. print or TV)
ARGUMENT
Doing TV for the first time is likely to generate a big splash
POSITIVE EXAMPLE
“What did main competitors do during our
campaign?
ARGUMENT
What if the brand is its own medium?
The TV channel was looking to regain likeability for its star system
and also to create cohesion among staff internally. To support the
proposed positioning the agency suggested to use the Visual ID pack
of the TV station to promote the message. Thus the advertising
message was inserted every time the station ran its station promo
packs. Is this negatively reflecting on the competition who did not
have access to this medium?
5. Media Strategy
ARGUMENT
Am I paying for TV when my objective is loyalty?
POSITIVE EXAMPLE
Am I spending a fortune on a drive test call?
POSITIVE EXAMPLE
“Our candy brand developed a promotion
between August and October. The media
campaign started in August.
e.g. For three months (Sep 08-Nov 08) Brand X benefited from a retailer’s promotion that
had limited effect on sales.
The creative materials can also betray a hidden promotion, even if the
promotional offer is presented for a short time in the packshot.
6. Other Comm. Programs
& Marketing Components
What was these components impact?
ARGUMENTS
When on top of the submitted campaign the brand also run an in
store promotion for examples, the impact on sales should be
ideally isolated: “The promotions accounted for X% of the sales
volumes”. If such an analysis is not available, is should be at least
replaced by comparing the investment behind that promotion to
the overall campaign budget.
6. Other Comm. Programs
& Marketing Components
When did these activities interfered with the
campaign?

Campaign goal: Rebranding
“We measured not only the new brand awareness reached during the two months campaign
but also the evolution of the indicators where the main competitor scored best innovative
brand ( 52 % higher than competitor), it’s a brand for everyone ( 28% higher), compared
to period before of the rebranding campaign.
The most impressive proof of campaign efficiency is given by the fact that the new brand
became the most preferred brand in highly competitive category. ( Consumer
