Executive SummaryWithin the Carbonated Juice industry and Sparkling Beverage, IZZE competes with brands that are also known for their flavored, sparkling drinks. San Pellegrino, ICE, Polar Sparkling Water and La Croix are nationally distributed in the United States more than IZZE. Due to this, IZZE sales are low and statistics show that western cities are more likely to purchase Sparkling Juice than any other region. IZZE’s lack of brand awareness among their competitors makes it difficult for IZZE to attain a higher brand and category development index. Roots Media will be implementing strategies to increase awareness within major cities in the USA that have a low percentage of IZZE’s brand recognition, so that consumers immediately choose to purchase IZZE products. We will create a better brand awareness within those cities by developing a campaign around IZZE Sparking Juice as the “last ingredient” to top any snack, meal or activity. Through print advertise-ments, radio, television, social media campaigns, and through our brand activation, we hope to meet our primary target audience of female consumers ages 18-30 and secondary target mar-ket of females ages 25-40. By being present in areas, stores or on television shows that our pri-mary target audience may be in such as music festivals like Coachella or Bonnaroo to having an IZZE product placed in Food Network’s TV show, ‘Chopped’, we hope to increase our sales by 15%. For our younger consumers in college, Roots Media will use guerilla marketing in com-munities and college campuses in our geographic areas to generate interest based on a value appeal for IZZE. Additionally, we want to meet the consumers’ needs for an alternative bever-age that resembles soda, especially for our health conscious drinkers. Consumers have to pay a heavier price for IZZE products, and by choosing this healthier, lower-calorie drink, they lose the option to consume other beverages that may provide caffeine, such as coffee, or vitamins, such as pre-made smoothies. Secondary competitors include water, fresh juice and soda.

Situation Analysis

Brand AnalysisAnalysis of Marketing and Sales ObjectivesRoots Media will create better awareness within major cities in the USA that have a low percentage of IZZE’s brand recog-nition. We will create a better brand awareness within those cities by developing a campaign around ‘IZZE Sparkling Juice’ as the “last ingredient” to top any snack, meal or day off. With this awareness, IZZE set our goal to increase distribution nationally by 30%. In order to achieve our distribution goal, IZZE has allocated an $18 Million budget for our media plan.

Category TrendsCarbonated Juice Industry, and Sparkling Beverage category during the years 2009 and 2014, the consumption of sparkling water raised by 56.4%, and the ‘Independent Woman’ emerged.

Economic and Societal Trends and FactorsIZZE currently competes with other brands, like San Pellegrino, ICE, Polar Sparkling Water, and La Croix, that are known for their flavored, sparkling drinks. IZZE has been positioned as a carbonated soft drink, but through our marketing campaign and sales strategy, we also hope to develop the idea that the brand can be trusted and associated with convenience and exquisite taste to top off their snack, meal or day as the last ingredient.

PositioningCarbonated Drinks Industry, and Sparkling Juices category

Geography & TimingIZZE Sparkling Juice is nationally distributed in the United States, and can be ordered online off of websites, such as Amazon.com, for those that do not have a grocery store that provides the brand. Despite the national distribution, IZZE sales are low, and statistics show that western cities are more likely to purchase IZZE Sparkling Juice than any other region.

Brand AnalysisThe 4 C’s Analysis

Customer Wants & Needs IZZE Sparkling Juice: IZZE has a variety of product lines in various flavours and sizes; they offer their all-natural sparkling juices in eight or 12-ounce containers. As opposed to other sparkling juices, IZZE’s sugar naturally comes from the fruit they use, and their original IZZE line does not contain added high-fructose syrup.

How IZZE meets the consumers’ wants and needsDue to the natural ingredients they use, IZZE serves as an alternative beverage to both high-fructose-filled soda to flavored water. For our health-conscious drinkers, it is important for them to understand what ingredients are being used in their bev-erages, and by being clear about IZZE’s low-calorie option beverages, we are able to meet their desires to watch what they consume. IZZE also fulfills the desire for soda our other consumers may crave.

Situation Analysis RecapKey ChallengeThe primary challenge IZZE faces is that the brand lacks awareness. IZZE’s competitors have a higher brand awareness among the targeted audience. As a result of the IZZE’s low awareness, it makes it more difficult for IZZE to attain a higher brand and category development index.

Key Consumer InsightsAs a result of the low brand awareness, IZZE is not the brand consumers immediately choose to purchase and doesn’t cross the minds of customers. By choosing a target audience whose lifestyle aligns with IZZE’s products, awareness and sales are subjected to increase.

Media Objectives &

Strategies

ObjectivesTarget Audience and Media Mix To gain brand loyalty among women ages 18-30 through an effective strategy of targeting women who are already health conscious.

The Big Idea

IZZE isn’t just a sparkling soda, it’s a drink that makes your life full and completes your day. You can be sure that whatever you do, when you top it off with IZZE, you won’t be dissapointed. It is the last ingredient in making your good time, a great time.

TV Media MixTELEVISIONTelevision is a medium that allows brands to truly bring their products to life by creating a platform that focuses on reach and frequency. TV shows bring a major source of entertainment to the world and specifically our target audience. Because our primary target is very immersed in staying healthy, culinary, and travel as well as our secondary target who enjoys watching TV with her husband daily and also has a love for cooking, we will be placing several :15 spot-heavy ads in TV shows such as Chopped on the Food Network, The Cooking Channel, The Travel Channel, Kardashians on E!, Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal on ABC, and The Real Housewives and Top Chef on Bravo. Our target audiences watch these type of shows and view these networks daily in regards to their personal interests and hobbies. Each TV station we will choose has fairly high indexes, making this medium very appealing to place advertisements. By advertising during these shows, our goal is to expose our IZZE brand enough times to our audience to increase our campaign frequency.

An example of an ad we created to be part of our “Last Ingredient” Campaign is a full speed ad showing a women traveling the world. Each time she reaches a location(showing an outstanding view) in each country, it shows her lips sipping a drink – showing a sense of accomplishment (cannot see what she is drinking – drink is cut off) –commercial slows down at the end..the women gets to her final destination and pops open a nice IZZE and takes a sip - and it states Top Your Day Off With IZZE.

E! News is the station that you can find out all the latest news on celebrity scandals, gossip, and entertainment news. We will place ads during Keeping Up With the Kardashians because it has a high index of and is a reality TV show that our target highly relates to and enjoys watching many days out of the week.

15

TV Media Mix

Bravo is a network that airs various reality shows as well as high-end lifestyle type of shows. We chose to place our :15 ads during Real Housewives and Top Chef. This fits our high-educated, city living, and cooking oriented target audience’s persona to a T. Real Housewives is very similar to the style of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Top Chef is another American reality cooking competition television series that our target adores watching. These are two select shows on Bravo that our target likes to stay engaged with. This network is great for IZZE’s ad placements because not only is the index 162, which is above average, but the shows that we chose to air the ads during covers many of the interests of our target audience, which will keep them watching, allowing for them to be repeatedly exposed to IZZE’s advertisements.

Syndicated Television ShowsThe Cooking Channel is a network that has recurring shows about food or with top global chefs sharing their best recipes and demonstrating some of their specialties in cooking technique videos. With an index of 166, The Cooking Channel fits right with our brand image for IZZE along with both our primary and secondary target audience because cooking is deeply a part of both of their daily lives.

The Food Network is very similar and goes hand in hand with the Cooking Channel. Since both of our targets have a love for cooking, we chose to feature IZZE on the show Chopped. Chopped is a reality cooking show where 4 contestants compete to create the best meal out of a ‘mystery basket’ full of ingredients that the chefs are unaware of in advance. IZZE will be placed in one of the chopped baskets for the show. The Travel Channel is a network that allows the viewer to experience travel videos, shows, and guides on top travel destinations. It provides tips, shows updates, and presents trip ideas. This network has an index of 157, allowing for a big chance to increase our brand awareness, frequency, and reach for IZZE. Our audience is big on travel, so they will be very consumed in this network, therefore our advertisements will reach our intended audience.

TV Media MixMedia Buy86.7% of our total budget ($15,600,700) will be allocated towards purchased media, while the remaining 13.3% ($2,398,400) will be spent in our grassroots marketing tactics. In that 86.% of our budget, will be spent in television advertising for a few reasons. First, our Simmons research concluded that our target is 60% more likely to consider themselves a “TV-addict” and 88% more likely to remember a brand name if they saw it in a television commercial. Also, because of our lower than aver-age allocation towards spot marketing, we wanted to make up for it by using the media (TV) with the most viewer potential.

17

Magazine Media MixMAGAZINE Magazines are a great medium to place advertisements especially because there is a magazine for everything, so you are bound to find the right one that fits perfectly with your specific product, brand, and campaign. With an index of 146 for our audience who often reads advertise-ments in magazines just out of curiosity, IZZE can be sure to benefit from this medium. This nails our secondary target audience because they

love to browse magazines in their spare time. Women’s HealthWe will be placing several IZZE advertisements in the Women’s Health magazine because it reflects the lifestyle of our target audience. Our primary target audience is women who are very into fitness, nutrition along with a healthy diet and staying active daily, even with their busy lives. Our primary target tends to stay in tune with the outdoors by jogging everyday through Central Park with her dog. So, with that said, this magazine is a very adequate fit when buying our media.

PeopleOur second magazine choice for our IZZE ads is People magazine. This magazine supplies exclusive access to exclusive interviews with all the celebrities that members of our target audience follow through different outlets. It is one of the most popular celebrity magazine and our target tends to read through the issues of this magazine when they want to relax and catch up on some of the new social celebrity gossip.

Food NetworkOur third choice is the Food Network, which is a magazine that takes you behind the scenes of our targets favorite Food Network chefs and provides entertaining ideas for the holidays, special occasions, or just meal ideas for any type of day or night. Our target market is able to find out all the Food Network Star secrets. Our target, primary and secondary tend to use some of these “secret” recipes to cook for their family on a weekly basis for ‘Surprise Sunday Dinners’.

18

Magazine Media MixMedia Buy3% of our purchased media budget ($288,360) will be used to purchase full page and full color ads in 3 magazines we believe best fit our target market. People, Women’s Health, and the Food Network are all magazines that pertain to the interests of our perceived IZZE drinkers. This specific medium was chosen because according to Simmons, sparkling juice drinkers are 64% more likely to consider magazines worth the money, and 46% more likely to read magazine ads just out of curiosity.

EXAMPLE PRINT AD

Radio Media MixRADIOPandora Radio is a very important medium to tap into, especially when your primary target are women who are on the go many times out of the day. These women can be reached through this medium the best because of their daily routines. We will be placing :30 ads through Pandora Radio. We chose these this type of online radio because although traditional radio is popular when commuting to work in your cars, our target often switches to online radio throughout the day when they are not in their cars regarding their daily routine.

Media Buy10% of our purchased media budget ($1,639,200) is allotted to radio. This is our second highest portion of the purchased media budget because we believe our target market is extremely familiar with Internet radio, especially Pandora. Our demographic is always on the go, so we purchased radio dayparts for all times throughout the day in hopes that they will have the opportunity to hear our radio ads while they’re driving/walking to and from work, during the day when they are working, as well as later in the night when they’re unwinding and just want to listen to music. We chose to spend more during the Night Time day part because we believe the young professionals are most likely to be relaxing and more focused on the music, and in return the ads.

20

Social Media MixSOCIAL MEDIAOur target audience is comprised of young, curious, high-quality, engaged women who have a very strong connection to social media as well as a high presence. They are very in-tuned with what is going on around them in the world of celebrities. As a result, it is essential that we take advantage of this medium in order to be able to accommodate their online actions and behaviors. We will advertise on Twitter, Facebook, Buzzfeed, Instagram, Youtube and Pinterest. Our target audience is always posting pic-tures on instagram of meals that they’ve learned how to cook, searching tips on youtube, looking up the current buzz in today’s world on buzzfeed, or connecting with co-workers and other girlfriends on facebook and twitter.

For example, specifically on Buzzfeed, we will be placing an interactive banner ad sponsored by IZZE in the food section. It will show a few ingredients sitting in a row and a bowl. The user is able to click each ingredient and drag it over to the bowl. Once they drag each ingredient to the bowl, it will automatically start mixing up the ingredients and ultimately creates one of the IZZE flavored drinks. The banner will then pop up a link to direct the consumer to the recipe page on our IZZE website.

In addition, we plan to have consumers share their experiences with IZZE through these social media outlets by posting pictures per-forming any type of activity with an IZZE at hand or even a post of a new cocktail recipe that someone created incorporating IZZE as an ingredient . Consumers will use the hashtag #thelastingredient, #toppingmydayoffwithizze, or #myizzerecipe. This will hopefully create buzz around our brand to show that everything is better when you end it with IZZE. We want our audience to answer the question “How do you top your day off with IZZE?” by engaging themselves in our social media staying involved with our brand. Our ultimate goal is that our media plan will inspire more people, IZZE drinkers and potential IZZE users to follow all of our social media accounts, get involved, but we also must maintain the content that we provide for IZZE, so that we can continue to engage consumers with our brand. All in all, we wanted to increase our frequency and this medium is a critical outlet that needs to be utilized in order to reach our goals for IZZE’s brand.

Media Buy Because Social Media is free, we plan to use it throughout the duration of our campaign. Both our primary and second-ary target audience are very active on social media. While our social media use will be constant, there will be a slight increase in posts during our various events.

21

OOH Media MixOUT-OF-HOMECitiBikeFor out of home advertising, we will place several ads in public transportation media such as on buses, subways, and the CitiBike. Because our target audience is primarily active women with busy lives in the urban area, we felt this medium would suit our brand well in order to get our message across to them in the most efficient way, increasing our reach and frequency. Public transportation is one of the most important mediums of advertising that a brand can utilize because it is everywhere and always on the move. People are immersed in advertising in or on public transportation every single day. Bus & SubwayOur first strategy is have advertisements as bus wraps and on the walls of bus stops as well as for on and inside the subway cars as well as in the subway stations.

Media BuyWe decided to use 62% ($1,500,000) of our grass root budget on transit because of the guaranteed impressions on our market. A reason this is so expensive is because we plan on infiltrating all 5 of our spot markets with IZZE branded citibikes, buses, and subways for the entire year. Due to our target’s preference to live in large metropolitan cities, we’re aware of the cluttered advertising world of big cities. We hope our target appreciates our partnership with public transportation as one more way we can go a little greener. As long as our target market leaves their apartment or house, they are most likely going to be exposed to some sort of public transportation with the IZZE logo. We believe this will be one of our most effective media buys due to the high reach and very high frequency.

22

GeographyGeographyAfter conducting Simmons Research, we found that a majority of sparkling juice drinkers live in either Northeast or Western United States. Our Northeast sample is 10% more likely to drink sparkling juice while the sample in the West is 78% more likely to enjoy an IZZE! Un-fortunately the Midwest is 48% less likely and the South is 24% less likely to prefer sparkling juice as their first beverage choice. Given the above data, we chose five spot markets to focus our grass root marketing initiatives. Because of the overwhelming Simmons index numbers supporting sparkling juice in the West, we chose Los Angeles (CDI-121), Portland (CDI-101), and San Francisco (CDI-101). For the East, Boston (CDI-96) and New York City (CDI-112) stuck out to us do to their large metropolitan cities where our primary target is most likely to live.

Over 900 people attend the event. IZZE will provide drinks for the event and be the “last ingredient” in special cocktails. This will be a great corporate social responsibility tactic for IZZE to increase brand awareness among the older demographic of our primary target audience and the entire secondary target audience.

24

Brand Act: Grass Roots Grass Roots Music FestivalStarting in 1991, the Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance is an annual festival held the second-to-last weekend of July in Trumansburg, New York, a small town ten miles north of Ithaca. The GrassRoots Festival, or simply GrassRoots, as it is known, draws nearly 20,000 visitors throughout the course of four days. GrassRoots presents over 70 musicians, bands and dance troupes on four simultaneously running stages continually throughout the long weekend. This location and event is perfect for our target market when they want to get away and take a weekend trip to socialize and finally get away from their 24/7 on-the-go busy life.

IZZE will have a few tents set up filled with IZZE drinks and be sponsored at the annual grassroots festival. We will have IZZE pinwheels printed on the ground, scattered in multiple areas of the festival. Each pedal will have a “dare” written. In order to receive a free IZZE drink of choice, the person must give the dare to someone else - a friend or find a stranger to take on the challenge – they have to take a picture or video completing the challenge and must post to a form of social media, for example facebook or instagram with the hashtag #IZZErootschallenge. Each person must show any of the IZZE representatives at any of the tents in exchange for a free IZZE. The best post will be chosen by IZZE representatives and reposted on all of their social media pages – for a reward of a free supply of IZZE drinks for 1 year.

IZZE banners will be hung around the entire festival grounds, there will be tents hand-ing out IZZE drinks for promotion, and lastly there will be IZZE sponsored beach ball balloons flying around throughout the performances.

The event features many genres of music, including rock, indie, hip hop, and electronic dance music, as well as art installations and sculptures. Across the grounds, several stages continuously host live music.

IZZE will be placing more than life-size glow in the dark sculptures of IZZE bottles all throughout the Coachella grounds, We hope this will grab the attention of over 1,000,000 Festival at-tendees, giving IZZE loads of brand recognition. These IZZE

bottle sculptures will not only give IZZE a presence at one of the largest music festivals in the world, but it will allow people to engage with our brand because inside is an oversized photo booth with an IZZE printed background designed with their pinwheel logo. This can be fun for everyone to do with their friends or whoever they came with to the festival to top off their coachella experience with an IZZE experience. Each flavor will be promoted through the photo booth bottles. People’s pictures will be submitted through the database and posted in a slideshow format on big screens around the event sponsored by IZZE.

There are 50 community gardens located throughout the city, developed and operated by volunteers and PP&R staff, offering a variety of activities..

We chose to do a pop up garden that would be sponsored by IZZE. The garden would allow our target to immerse themselves in the fresh homegrown world of IZZE. We would have IZZE pinwheels sticking out of the dirt throughout the garden,, fresh fruit and vegetables that are the natural ingredients they can use to create their own IZZE drink recipes. We want you to let your last ingredient be IZZE and see how much it can brighten your day.

SweetGreen and Chipotle are two chains that fit our target market perfectly. They both are located in the areas where our targets reside such as Boston, New York City, and San Fran. Our targets tend to pick up a quick lunch from these places on their way to work or after running some errands. SweetGreen is the destination for fast and delicious food that’s healthy for you which is perfect for our targets healthy lifestyle. The food is even made with organic ingre-dients sourced from locally known farmers. Chipotle offers good food that provides clean ingredients.

IZZE is going to be sampling our beverages at Wegmans and Whole Foods where our primary target market and secondary target market shop for groceries on a weekly bases. The Wegmans and Whole Foods stores are also located in the geographic areas where our target market resides. These samples are simply to increase brand recognition and awareness within our target segment.

Brand Act: Food & Wine Festival 32

Scheduling & TimingSchedulingOur campaign will have a pulsing schedule consisting of traditional media advertising with a combination of grass root tactics to strategically place the IZZE brand in front of our target market. Our campaign will begin in March, and continue for 12 months. Our venues for media placement will include broadcast and cable television, Internet radio, and magazines. We plan to have a continuous and constant schedule as far as our traditional advertising goes, but we will have many grass root events strategically planned in certain months, making the campaign as a whole a pulsing schedule.
