Starbucks Corporation is an international coffee and coffeehouse chain based in
Seattle, Washington, United States. Starbucks’ story begins with a single small
store near the historic Pike Place Market in Seattle, offering fresh-roasted coffee
beans, spices and tea around the globe for their customers (MBA Knowledge
Base, 2018). It was founded by Jerry Baldwin, Zev Siegl and Gordon Bowker on
March 30, 1971 (MBA Knowledge Base, 2018). In everything Starbucks does,
they are always dedicated to their mission, which is “to inspire and nurture the
human spirit - one person, one cup and one neighborhood at a time” (Gregory,
2019). Besides, Starbucks’ vision is “to establish Starbucks as the premier
purveyor of the finest coffee in the world while maintaining our uncompromising
principles while growing” (Gregory, 2019). Today, Starbucks connects with
millions of consumers everyday with their exceptional products, such as premium
quality coffee, smoothies, cookies, tea, muffins, pastries, doughnuts, fresh fruit
juice, frappuccino beverages, snacks and much more.

WHY STARBUCKS?
6
Target Market
Coachella music festival is an all-ages festival. Nielsen’s data
indicates that around 46% of the Coachella-goers are within the 18 to
34 age range (Faughnder, 2015). Thus, during the brand activation
event in Coachella, Starbucks will mainly target the millennials that are
within the 26 to 41 age group who have stronger spending power
(HansonDodge, n.d.). Besides, 46% of the Gen Z who are between
the 18 to 24 age group have increased their coffee consumption since
2021 (Garwood, 2021). Thus, Starbucks will also target Generation Z.
46% within

Marketing Strategy
The marketing strategy of an event is a crucial part
which will contribute to the success of the event. A
good marketing strategy and promotion of the event
will result in a greater number of people who will be
present. There are specific marketing strategies that
are effective in order to promote the event and attract
a huge crowd.
35
1 Leaving a First Impressions
As such, a poster of the event
will be designed in such a way
that the theme matches with the
event. According to Natalie
Wiley (July, 2019), the use of
advertising posters can
produce effective outcomes for
companies of all sizes and it is
a well-known marketing tool
frequently used by companies
for promoting their business. In
the case of the Starbucks x
Coachella event, the poster will
be filled with attractive fonts
and pictures that will capture
the eyes of audiences. The
poster will comprise a
Coachella logo, a Starbucks
One of the most effective ways to
coffee brand symbol, along with

2 Leverage Social Media Page Advertising
A marketing strategy which is proved to be effective is the use
of ads and based on the article of the social media app,
namely Facebook, takes over the world of social media
advertising, as based from studies more than 93% of the
marketers use some form of Facebook ads. Therefore to get
the most of the targeted audience, we will use Facebook and
Instagram to promote our event. include relevant information
such as date and all the highlight programmes to ease
participants for registration. All social media pages will be
updated daily with information of the event and image that are
able to create excitement for participants. Thus, try to make it
as possible to share our poster to make it more people view.

Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)
Strategies
4 Livestream
By providing photographs and highlights from the day, live
tweets assist to keep FOMO at bay while also increasing it.
Consider a live tweet as a live commentary on the event that is
both instructive and entertaining. The tone and structure of the
internet debate around the event are established by live tweets.
Next, use the festival hashtag consistently and share amusing
moments. Live may interact with viewers who aren't there in
real time. Monitor the festival's social media streams for any
audience complaints or inquiries. The team would use webcast
to draw additional attendees on the day of the event. Some
people may not be aware of or notice the approaching event in
advance, but livestreaming during the event can assist to
attract the attention of those who have been left out.
Furthermore, webcast might motivate those who are attending
the event.
41
Authenticity Factor
Authenticity can be defined as true and legitimate as when the
influencers present themselves as the brand sincerely and genuinely,
it creates a strong bonding with the target audience. Moreover, When
influencers share the content of the event, we are guaranteed that
Starbucks will be exposed to the right audience because of the huge
number of target audience following the influencers’ page. The reason
to use the authenticity factor as a marketing strategy is because it can
help the event to strive out of the crowded market as it promotes
strong bonding among the audience and also aids in building trust.
According to an article from Charlotte Baxter (0ct, 2020), the
authenticity of the event depends upon its uniqueness, voice and
values meaning that authenticity works together with truth. Based on
the article above, 86% of the consumers agree that the key factor in
choosing a brand is through authenticity.
42
Factors:
1 It Is One of the Biggest Festival
Coachella is one of the largest festivals celebrated in the valley of
coachella. This event can reach a number of more than 1 million
people being present at the festival as it is one of the most reputed
festivals around the globe. According to an article from Cindy Uken
