1.5 THE BRAND BRIEF: PROBLEM STATEMENT

Business Challenge: To generate extensive trials for Aashirvaad Select among Branded Atta uptraders, Premium Wheat users & Sharbati Atta users (who buy from Chakkis) by clearly establishing its differentiated & premium proposition through creating awareness about the unique Sharbati Wheat and its end benefits.

Communications Objective:Aashirvaad is the No. 1 player in the Branded Atta segment in India. Its value added atta portfolio consists of a premium offering called Aashirvaad Select. Aashirvaad Select is made from 100% MP Sharbati wheat which is the most superior grade of wheat, grown only in Sehore region of Madhya Pradesh (constituting less than 1% of worlds wheat production). The speciality of this grain is its golden sheen, heavy weight and unbroken perfection.Hence, dough made of Aashirvaad Select Atta absorbs more water while kneading and is completely non sticky. Rotis made out this Atta are delightfully soft & remain softer for longer. They offer a rich aroma and a sweetish taste, unlike any other offering in the market.

A key learning from the previous TV campaign for Aashirvaad Select (2011) was that the Ad diagnosis at a variant level showed Branded Memorability of the variant Select to be minimal. It was almost entirely attributed to the mother brand Aashirvaad. This was possibly because the TVC focussed on generic attributes of roti (softness & mithaas) expected from any type of atta.

Hence, the task now is to position Aashirvaad Select clearly as a premium-end offering from the house of Aashirvaad; establish it as a separate, superior variant, different from Aashirvaad Popular by explicitly highlighting the key USPs which differentiate it sufficiently from usual/normal whole wheat atta.

Target Audience:The specifics of the Target Audience for the brand in question is as follows:Female populationAge Group 25-44,SEC A,B,C, Regular users of Major Branded Packaged Atta brandsWho seek superior product quality at every stage of cooking and are willing to pay a price premium for the sameWho appreciate & enjoy the finer taste in food and various other aspects of life

To register the following key message in the TG's mind: Aashirvaad Select is made from the choicest Sharbati wheat grain which is the most superior variety of wheat The best wheat money can buy! Rotis made from Aashirvaad Select are incomparably soft and stay soft even hours after they are madeThe above given insights were given by the brand.Furthermore, the communication has to carry one over-arching message which aims at establishing the differentiation between Aashirvaad Select and other sharbati wheat atta brands like Pillsbury Gold.

What is unique to ITC is its 4000+ wheat sourcing centres across India and wide network of wheat experts, who work with the most seasoned farmers all year round.

Hence, only ITC is able to source the best Sharbati grains and it puts in immense effort to ensure only the best grade of Sharbati wheat goes into the making of Aashirvaad Select.

Thus the brand aims to achieve the following: To improve the 'Total Awareness' & 'Ever Tried' scores for Aashirvaad Select Also achieve good Imagery related responses-'Atta made from MP Sharbati Wheat' / 'Atta made from the most superior grade of wheat' To establish and re-iterate that Aashirvaad Atta is of supreme quality, just like Basmati is for Rice'

Factors to be considered:

To highlight the variant name Select and to avoid the mother brand name Aashirvaad from dominating it too much (which is the case with the current packaging)Enhance emphasis on the key product attribute - 100% MP Sharbati Atta Establish it as a separate, superior variant, different from Aashirvaad Popular by explicitly highlighting the key USPs of which differentiate it sufficiently from the normal whole wheat atta sold in the Aashirvaad portfolio.

3. THE BUSINESS PROBLEM:

3.1 TASK ASSIGNED:

The Brief received from the client i.e. Delhi Press was for Brand Solutions and Integration for ITCs Aashirvaad Atta. The medium being print; an abundant range of magazines, especially women centric ones, most of the solutions provided and suggested are majorly print driven.The thoughts and Ideas suggested are based on the brief sent by Delhi Press and were rectified and polished to suit client needs.Listed below in brief are the solutions given to the clients and the thought and strategy behind them. As these Ideas are in conversion mode and are to be used by the client, the Ideas cannot be discussed in detail.Also, mentioned below are the communication objectives, the factors taken into consideration as mentioned by the brand.

The Objective:Aashirvaad is the No. 1 player in the Branded Atta segment in India. Its value added atta portfolio consists of a premium offering called Aashirvaad Select. Aashirvaad Select is made from 100% MP Sharbati wheat which is the most superior grade of wheat, grown only in Sehore region of Madhya Pradesh (constituting less than 1% of worlds wheat production).

Hence, dough made of Aashirvaad Select Atta absorbs more water while kneading and is completely non sticky. Rotis made out this Atta are delightfully soft & remain softer for longer. They offer a rich aroma and a sweetish taste, unlike any other offering in the market.

The Task: To generate extensive trials for Aashirvaad Select among Branded Atta uptraders, Premium Wheat users & Sharbati Atta users (who buy from Chakkis) by clearly establishing its differentiated & premium proposition through creating awareness about the unique Sharbati Wheat and its end benefits.

Key Factors:To highlight the variant name Select and to avoid the mother brand name Aashirvaad from dominating it too much (which is the case with the current packaging)Enhance emphasis on the key product attribute - 100% MP Sharbati Atta Establish it as a separate, superior variant, different from Aashirvaad Popular by explicitly highlighting the key USPs of which differentiate it sufficiently from the normal whole wheat atta sold in the Aashirvaad portfolio.To register the following key message in the TG's mind: Aashirvaad Select is made from the choicest Sharbati wheat grain which is the most superior variety of wheat The best wheat money can buy!

Hence, the task now is to position Aashirvaad Select clearly as a premium-end offering from the house of Aashirvaad; establish it as a separate, superior variant, different from Aashirvaad Popular by explicitly highlighting the key USPs which differentiate it sufficiently from usual/normal whole wheat atta.

3.2 SWOT ANALYSIS

FEATURES v\s BENEFITS:

3.3 PRODUCT PORTFOLIO:

Customers Buying Behaviour: Convenience product Level of Involvement: Low InvolvementCore Product: Atta which is pure and provides better nutrition and tasteAugmented Product: Easy Availability and Brand assurance of ITC

3.4 SOLUTIONS PROVIDEDThe varied spectrum of Thoughts and Ideas provided as solutions to the client are as follows:THOUGHT 1: Sunehre Pal (Golden Moments)Aashirvaad Select Atta is made from 100% sharbati wheat harvested exclusively in 7 districts of Madhya Pradesh. The Wheat is said to have golden fields of wheat, thus giving each grain a golden sheen.This thought focusses consumer attention on the Golden colour of the atta, thus putting across the message of good quality assurance.The concept includes contestants sharing their experience via stories/entries about the Golden Moments they have spent with their familyA section in the magazine which discusses about the life of the families post the use of Aashirvaad Atta & how the wholesome goodness of the atta has helped the families get their mealtime blissInitial entries can be mock entries, unknown to the readers, thus encouraging them to send entries. Prizes and gifts can be given to the entries that best explain the role of Aashirvaad Atta in the Sunehre Pal that they spent.This will act as a motivator for readers to send in their entries.Media Vehicles:GrihshobhaWomans EraThese are magazines under Delhi press group. As mentioned before in this report. Grihshobha is a women centric magazine in 8 regional languages, while Womans Era is in English, thus focussing on the Target Group, i.e. Female population, Age- 25 to 44, Sec A, B, C.

THOUGHT 2: Then & Now

Functional differentiators always work well in promoting a product. A better strategy is to give an emotional touch to a functional differentiator for the purpose of marketing the product.This Idea consists of showcasing the edge that Aashirvaad Select Atta has over ordinary atta, albeit in an indirect way, through consumer storytelling.Stories will be published about women homemakers discussing the time pre and post the use of Aashirvaad Atta.The discussions will highlight the major changes in their cooking, family eating routines etc. In-turn showcasing the advantage in using Aashirvaad Atta as compared to Ordinary atta. Special features of the Atta will be highlighted in these discussions amongst women.Media Vehicles: GrihashobhaWomans Era.Alive

THOUGHT 3: Aaj ki Naari hai No.1

In the contemporary scenario, Women Empowerment is a topic that is bound to turn heads and make readers take notice. In todays world, women making it big in every field is a usual scenario on the urban front.Success stories of such milestone achievers would work as a brilliant motivating force for women in other sections of the society.Media Vehicles:GrihashobhaWomans EraAliveCaravanA section in the above mentioned magazines will be titled as Aaj ki Naari hai No.1. This section/beat of the magazine will recognise and felicitate women achievers from the country. Women who are talented, ambitious, and inspirational.The Women can be recognised and mentioned across various categories, i.e. Entrepreneurs, Politics, Defence, Survivors etc.

THOUGHT 4: Golden Sheen AwardsAward functions and felicitations create the kind of buzz that no other event can. Awards not only bring recognition to the award winners but also to the Brands that sponsor the event. The key is to match the Award objective to the Brand philosophy/ Distinguishing factors of the Brand.This Idea revolves around the context of Awards to felicitate excellence and achievements to the women of today in the country.The Awards can range across a variety of categories i.e. Politics, Sports, Arts, Science, Social Work, Dance, Films etc.The Awards would get a widespread Print coverage in Delhi Press Magazines. Felicitation in a special awards function laced with performances would create a buzz like no other.

THOUGHT 5: Chef Ki ZubaaniFor the purpose of this Idea, a well-known Celebrity Chef has to be roped in for their expertise. A section in Magazines of Delhi Press will feature recipes and cooking tips by this Celebrity Chef.The recipes and cooking tips would feature the use of Aashirvaad Atta and its variants. Various features and differentiators of the brand will be highlighted using the section and the Chefs expert opinion, thus endorsing Aashirvaad Atta variants to the readers.The section will feature in every issue of magazines mentioned. These write-ups will emphasise on the features of Aashirvaad atta and how is it more beneficial as compared to Ordinary Atta.Media Vehicles: Grihshobha, Womans Era

THOUGHT 6: Aashirvaad Soft and Sweet Women

Women in every relationship dynamic have the image of the person who nurtures and takes care of the people around. This attribute is linked to sweetness to the sharbati taste of Aashirvaad AttaThrough entries readers will be asked to share their feelings of appreciation towards these women in their life, be it their mothers, wives, friends, sisters, teachers, secretaries etc.A few mock entries about regular everyday women in the above mentioned roles will be put up to encourage readers to send in their entries. Also a few celebrity examples of a similar nature will be put in for the readers to relate with.Media Vehicles:GrihashobhaWomans EraAlive

THOUGHT 7: National Atta Face-Off

A blind test where people will taste rotis made out of various Ordinary atta available and the ones made out of Aashirvaad would be their apparent choice. They would prefer the soft rotis made out of Aashirvaad Atta and would prefer the sharbati taste that they have over othersThis event will have extensive coverage in Delhi Press magazines. A mock market research result can be put up to unveil that Atta, which is the choice of IndiaMedia Vehicles:AliveGrihashobhaWomans Era

THOUGHT 8: Dr. Healthy

A mascot\fictional character helps readers and audience to relate better to the brand personality. This character can either endorse the Brand or relate to the TG with regards to the Brand offerings.In this Idea, a fictional character Dr. Healthy is created. Dr. Healthy is a nutritionist and dietician. He would regularly appear in issues of Delhi Press Magazines.Apart from tips about a balanced diet, and nutrition tip of the day, Dr. Healthy will focus on healthy styles of eating, correct proportion of food. He will also focus on the importance of wheat in our diets.The Articles would also feature the nutritional value and added benefits of Aashirvaad Select Atta, thus promoting the product.Media Vehicles:GrihashobhaWomans EraAlive

THOUGHT 9: Ab Kis Kaam Ki Chakki

Indian tradition involves wheat grains to be stored in bulk at home and then to grind it in a chakki to get flour for roti.As Aashirvaad Atta puts an end to that facet of life , the Chakki is deemed useless This will be an interactive activity in the magazine wherein people will be asked to suggest different innovative use of CHAKKI as it is now out of use.courtesy: Aashirvaad Select AttaThe most innovative and appealing answers stand a chance to win a lucky prize from Aashirvaad Atta.Answers can be on the lines of: use chakki as energy source, I grind my stress in my chakki now etc.Media Vehicles:GrihashobhaWomans era
