Appendix: Eywa advertising brief
Client name: Carol Knox, Marketing Director, Eywa
Project name: Earthsprite product launch
Prepared by: Jessica Carter, Media Planner, Eywa
Products
Eywa is an Australian-owned company which produces natural chemical-free skin and body care products containing only organic ingredients, selected for their miraculous skin rejuvenating properties. These ingredients are derived from over 70 different plant and flower species including a few rare plants found in the Amazon rainforest.
Eywa is about to launch its new Earthsprite skin care range. All of the Earthsprite products contain tamanu oil, a completely natural skin healing agent, which comes from the tamanu tree, indigenous to various parts of Southeast Asia.
Advertising campaign objectives
The objectives of the advertising campaign are to successfully promote the launch of the Earthsprite skin care range, create brand awareness for the Earthsprite products, and differentiate the brand from its many competitors. We wish to position the Earthsprite range as the only high-quality, 100% natural, highly beneficial skin care brand that is reasonably priced.
Target audience
The primary target audience will consist of female professionals and wives of professionals, aged 25–54. Roughly half of this group will be married with combined annual household incomes of approximately $150,000. They will be from various racial backgrounds. They live in inner city or suburban areas.
The primary target audience consists of women who are beauty conscious and interested in looking after their well-being using holistic approaches to health. They consider taking care of their skin a major priority. They live an active life, occupying themselves with any combination of work, study, raising children, staying fit and healthy, and socialising. They are becoming increasingly aware of the adverse effects of chemical-based skin care products. They are searching for a skin care regime based on natural products which won’t harm their body or the environment. They are looking for natural skin care products which are good value for money and will leave their skin looking radiant and help fight aging.
Media strategies
Eywa could advertise using mainstream media such as free to air TV, radio, women’s magazines and health magazines. Online advertising including social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter could also be highly effective. Point-of-sale display space in a major supermarket or chemist chain should also be considered.
The catchy slogan ‘Reconnect with nature’ should be used in all of the advertisements.
Key advertising message
? Earthsprite products are 100% natural, effective, affordable and innovative.
? All Earthsprite products contain tamanu oil which possesses a unique capacity to promote the formation of new tissue, thereby accelerating healing and the growth of healthy skin.
? Eywa believes nature provides us with everything we need to look and feel beautiful and healthy. Nature looks after us so we should look after nature. Eywa products contain ingredients from plants which are grown organically and ethically and are highly effective.
? Eywa is 100% Australian owned.
? Eywa’s products are excellent value for money and more reasonably priced than their competitor’s products.
Tone and manner
The Eywa brand already has an established tone and manner that it wants to continue with this range. The brand is contemporary, sincere, innovative, affordable, ethical and promotes nature and well-being.
Campaign timeframe
The advertising campaign will run for 6 months, from January 1, 2011 until June 30, 2011.
Budget
The budget for this promotion is $5 million.
