This advertising campaign seeks to engage every tea drinker with the Tazo brand. In order to understand what our primary target audience of women ages 18-34 looks for in their tea brand of choice, we con-ducted both primary and secondary research. This research lead us to our key insight--our target audi-ence prefers customized products that are made just for them, and benefit their specific lifestyle. For our creative strategy, we propose to our audience, “we’ve got your blend.” We see each and every tea drinker as an individual, with their own needs, obstacles, and triumphs. That is why in this campaign we appeal to each and every specific woman in our target audience. We understand that there is a blend out there to help every woman through her unique daily struggles. Whether she can’t sleep, needs caffeine after pulling an all-nighter, or just needs to relax, Tazo had a blend to solve her problems. Tazo is there to help them through the long day. Tazo is the friend these women rely on to consistently be there when they need it. Tazo has more than just your back, we’ve got your blend.

At 30 and Windy inc., we pride ourselves on our enthusiasm, persistence, and versatility. What-ever industry you operate in, we will cater to your needs. We will boost your brand identity and bring it to life. 30 and Windy ensures that each and every client we work with gets results. We do this in our signature 3 step process. (left)

Competitive forces: Tazo is one of many tea companies in the US. Some of its competitors include Lipton, Yogi, Twinings, and Teava-na. Everyone has their own preference as to which brand they prefer, and what benefits they hope to gain from their brand choice.

Economic Forces: There is an increasing demand for premium products in the food industry, including tea. Tazo provides high-quality tea that consumers can rely on when searching for a premium product. However, loose leaf tea of this quality can be expensive. Tazo is priced considerably higher than it’s com-petitors who provide consumers with a less-premium product, such as Lipton. There is an increasing de-mand in the market for food and products that better individuals’ physical and mental health. Tea offers such health benefits, suggesting an increase in the demand for tea.

Technological Forces: Today, people have adopted an “on-the-go” way of life. Tea and coffee are no lon-ger enjoyed in a relaxing environment, but they are taken on the go, so people can enjoy the calming ef-fects of a warm beverage during their stressful everyday lives. With new technology, such as the Keurig single cup brewer, people can enjoy hot beverages at the press of a button, making tea even more quick, easy, and accessable. Tazo has many varieties of tea offered in k-cup form. Many of Tazo’s competitors (like Lipton) sell their tea in k-cups as well. Keurigs allow tea drinkers to enjoy their beverages while on a tight schedule.

Socio-Cultural Forces: We are becoming an increasingly health conscious population. With America’s growing tea culture, people are more open to testing the health benefits of different tea blends. Tazo challenges the boundaries of what tea can be by creating new and innovative com-binations of teas, herbs, and spices, each with their own distinct health benefits for people to try. Individuals around the world are trying to be more sustainable. With the growing trend of becom-ming a “green” environment, Tazo advocates for clean air and healthy communities. They have made a commitment to using renewable energy sources in their tea production, such as wind-mills. Also, because Tazo is readily available in tea and coffee shops all around the country, they appeal to the increasing number of Americans who embrace an on-the-go lifestyle.

SWOT Analysis

Marketing: 30 and Windy’s marketing objective for this cam-paign is to increase sales of Tazo by 7% by the end of our campaign.Advertising: Our advertising objectives are to achieve 70% comprehension of Tazo’s message and increase conviction by 60%. We aim to have an effective reach of 70, and an effective frequency of 4.Time Frame: This campaign will run for one year, starting in September, 2015 and continuing through August 2016.

Budgeting: The budget for this campaign is $12,000,000. We will use magazine, Internet, billboard, and transit advertising to implement an effective cam-paign. This campaign will produce tangible results, while maintaining the spirit of the Tazo brand. There will be a period of heavier advertising starting in Sep-tember, increasing through the fall and winter months, and decreasing starting in March.

Objectives

8

• Investigate characteristics consumers in our target market look for when buying tea and why.• Determine how often our target market drinks tea and how familiar they are with the Tazo brand.• Understand Tazo’s position against top competitors.

Through online research of Tazo’s brand image, their po-sition in the market, and their product benefits, we gained valuable information about existing characteristics of the Tazo brand. We will promote these characteristics in our advertising messages to gain our target audience’s interest. Through learning about the unique health benefits of each of Tazo’s signature tea blends, we can better target the wom-en who seek these specific benefits. From researching the habits of American tea drinkers, we gained valuable knowl-edge about what benefits our target market hopes to gain from their tea drinking experience. This research allowed us to pinpoint what benefits the Tazo brand possesses that our target market looks for when selecting tea. We have em-phasized these benefits in our campaign in order to bring them to our target market’s attention. This will increase our target’s conviction to buy Tazo tea.

Research Objectives

Secondary Research

• Functional Benefits: Tazo offers superior flavor, quality, and variety with its teas. Each blend of Tazo is unique and has its own health and wellness benefits. Tazo tea comes in many forms--loose leaf, filter bags, k-cups, etc., allowing consumers to brew their favorite blend the way they like.

• Emotional Benefits: The defining quality of Tazo tea is the drinking experience. Consumers drink their fa-vorite blend of Tazo to fill the void of what they need--whether they can’t sleep, lack energy, or need to take a relaxing tea break. Tazo has a custom made product to fulfill every woman’s emotional needs and desires.

• Self-Expressive Benefits: Drinking Tazo tea projects a sophisticated and put-together image. Tazo tea drink-ers care about their wellness, and are constantly trying to better themselves. They are proud to sip tea with the Tazo logo because they know, and everyone around them knows the benefits they are gaining from every sip. Every customer is looking for something different. Tazo drinkers are able to customize their blend to what they need, making them feel superior to the average tea drinker who settles for a generic tea.

To conduct primary research, we sent out a questionnaire to women in our target market. Out of 93 responses, 80% of these women were between the ages of 18 and 24, 14% were between the ages of 25 and 34, and 6% were 35 or older. Therefore, the majority of women who completed the questionnaire are in our primary target market. Only 4% of respondents do not drink tea at all, 8% drink tea only once a month, and 16% drink tea once a week. The highest portion of respondents, 24%, drink tea 3-7 times a week, and the remaining 16% drink tea multiple times in a day. Our target market is evenly split when it comes to brand preference--51% have a go-to tea brand, and 49% do not. 79% of respondents have drank Tazo tea before. In comparison to Tazo’s competitors, Tazo came second to Lipton, and beat Teavana, Yogi, and Twinnings in popularity in this questionnaire. The majority of respondents drink tea for a variety of reasons and at a variety of occasions. The most popular reasons being “to relax” and because they “like the taste.” Lastly, 74% of respondents said variety in tea flavor was either “somewhat important” or “very important” when selecting a tea brand.

Target Market

Carrie is a 26 year old yoga in-structor in Ithaca, NY. A recent increase in customers has resulted in her being busy every hour of the work day. Because of the stress, Carrie can’t get into her namaste mindset while teaching. Carrie’s friend recommends the Zen blend of Tazo. The calming lemon ver-bena and lively spearmint helps Carrie relax her chakras and find her inner peace so she can do sun salutations with confidence.

Olivia is a 19 year old college stu-dent at Syracuse University. Along with her classes Olivia has group projects that require presentations. Olivia’s fear of presenting gave her anxiety causing Olivia to stumble over her words. This is no longer a problem since Olivia found her blend of organic Earl Grey Noir tea from Tazo. This tea awakens her senses with the bold and savory blend of black tea and bergamot helping her be bold in defining mo-ments.

Martha is a 46 year old lawyer in New York City. With the busy streets and hectic work-place, she often finds herself stressed from the ongoing cha-os. After work she struggles to fall asleep from all of the stress during her day. Martha found her blend with Tazo Tea’s Calm Chamomile. The chamomile and hibiscus flowers help lull Martha to sleep so she can seize another day in the big apple.

Campaign StrategyThe Challenge: Many women ages 18 to 34 are on the go. When they drink warm beverages, they see their options as either coffee or tea. In our research, we found that many women reach for coffee over tea because they believe they need the added caffeine to get them through their busy schedule. Many women do not see the benefits and versatility of tea, specifically Tazo, and how it can effectively help them fix a multitude of every day problems they thought they’d never solve.

The Key Insight: Women in our target market shop for products that have a specific health benefit. They have an emotional tie to the products they know and trust to work. Tazo offers a wide variety of teas; each tea has its own benefits that caters to everyday problems women face in their busy lives that they have learned to live with, because they’ve never had a solution.

The Brand Promise: Every woman lives with a problem they’ve always wanted to solve. Whether they’re stressed, too jittery, or need an extra burst of energy, Tazo has a blend for every person’s needs. Tazo will help sooth these problems our customers-grapple with every day. Every Tazo consumer is dif-ferent. Each signature Tazo blend caters to a different woman in our target market. These women will see Tazo as a brand they can consistently rely on to help them through life’s persistent and spontaneous obsta-cles.

The Big Idea

We’ve got your blend.

14

Creative StrategyEach of our advertisements will cater to a different woman in our target market. We will do this by pin-pointing specific problems these women face, such as not being able to sleep, or being stressed out about an upcoming exam or performance. This will highlight the versatility of the Tazo brand. Women will re-late to the situations portrayed in our ads, and will realize that there is a blend of Tazo out there for them that will help them with an everyday problem they struggle with. In the past, Tazo ads focused on the product, rather than the person buying the product. By concentrating on the consumer, our advertise-ments show how the product integrates seamlessly into every woman’s life.

Art Direction CopywritingThe main focus of our advertisements is the con-sumer. We show them in a stressful situation that Tazo can help them through. Instead of only focus-ing on the product, we focus on the consumer so they can relate to the advertisement and effectively identify their need for Tazo. We also incorporate product packaging elements into our advertise-ments by using the same color scheme on the pack-aging in our design. Our ads present a problem and solution strategy, where a specific blend of Tazo is the solution to our consumer’s problems. In each of our ads, we show how a specific Tazo blend in-tegrates into the consumer’s lifestyle to fix a prob-lem. We focus on the specific blend by showing that blend’s unique packaging in the advertisement.

The copy in our ads will be simple and readable. Featuring the phrase, “we’ve got your blend” will enhance continuity and synergy throughout all of our advertisements. The copy that will change from ad to ad will pinpoint specific issues that Tazo promises to solve. We will ask women questions, such as “can’t sleep?” or “pulling an all-nighter?” By asking these questions, women in our target audience will become aware of these problems that they have had to learn to live with. By discovering Tazo, our target audience will realize that we can lighten their load. In our copy, Tazo promises to each and every woman that we have a blend for them. It is made personally for them, to suppress their distinct and varying worries.

Brand ActivationDecorated Tea TinsObjective: Enhance sustainability and reduce Tazo’s carbon footprint by dis-tributing tea in tin containers that are both reusable and collectable. These are in place of cardboard boxes that produce waste.Strategy: Tea tins will be used to package Tazo tea. The collectable tins will come in a wide range of colors and patterns that customers will be able to choose from when purchasing their tea. This gives the customers an incentive to buy more Tazo because they can bring back their tin to a local Starbucks that carries Tazo and refill it or they can buy a new tin to add to their collection. Also, Tazo will have a customization page on their website where customers can design their own unique tins to order. Just as Tazo drinkers choose their own blend, they can choose their favorite tin patterns.

#myblendObjective: Get consumers excited about their favorite blends and the benefits they offer. This will in-crease popularity and awareness of each blend.Strategy: By using the hashtag #myblend on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, Tazo drinkers will be able to post their thoughts on specific blends. This hashtag allows users to claim their blend as their own and take pride in it, while also sharing its benefits with others.
