A Marketing case study on Cadbury’s new advertising campaign for the Crispy Crunch chocolate bar.

Executive Summary

Crispy Crunch’s main problem is that they haven’t advertised their product in many years. Since then the target market has changed a lot and has a very high multi-tasking behaviour. It is hard to pin point the exact needs and wants of this culture anymore except for one thing, they are all very technologically routed. With the internet at our finger tips, TV whenever we want, and smartphones in everyone’s pocket. That is the only thing you can really count on this day in age.

The chocolate bar market is mature and experiences only modest growth annually. There are 4 major players all with similar marketing strategies; find something unique in the product and promote it. Chocolate bars can be found in the same locations and are sold at very similar prices so they must use marketing communications to distinguish themselves. Crispy Crunch has had little to none in the last five years.

Crispy Crunch’s goal is to break into the top ten again and increase market share from 3.5% to 4% within 12 months. The current awareness of Crispy Crunch is 35% among the target market, which must increase significantly in order to increase market share and profits.

My main recommendation is to reach out to the target market using the only real linking factor among them; the internet. I think rich media is the best way to reach this audience because it makes use of technology and is available to audiences of many different tastes and lifestyles at all hours of the day.

    Cadbury uses market penetration strategies to keep people aware of their brand. They do this all in their current market. They do this by selling more to existing customers, like selling their products in multi-packs. This means that the customers can buy their products in larger quantities and it will encourage them to do so as they can have more of the product instead of buying it individually. They also use product development strategies such as selling new products in an existing market. For example they add other products to some of their existing brands such as dairy milk. They’ve added things such as ‘Crunchie’ to the original Dairy milk. Cadbury also increase the size of their products for example they do share sizes of Dairy milk.…

    Cheerios Swot Analysis

    With more and more people looking towards healthy eating and watching the contents of their food intake, companies are now branding products to show the health benefits. Equally, existing companies and brands are having to create new strategies and change their products to contain healthy benefits to promote, attract or keep their customer basis. The Mintel report by Clifford (2012) states that ‘25-34s appear to be attracted to healthy cereals, being the most inclined to use high-fibre cereals, muesli, diet cereals, granola and added health cereals.’ According to a report by Strutton (2012) this has a direct affect on the brands marketing as Cheerios has now targeted children through their parents, which states that Cheerios is ‘playing the kiddie card’ in terms of marketing. This is a strong move in the current market and moving with the trends. This is also helped with such Government campaigns such as Change4 Life which is there to actively encourage consumers to have a healthy start to their day…

    Pillsbury Case Marketing

    As marketing manager of the RBG business, Ivan Guillen must propose a solution to repair Pillsbury refrigerated baked goods (RGB)’s business performance. Since the refrigerated-cookie product line consisted of 62% of RBG’s unit sales and over 75% of the company’s profits, Guillen found it appropriate to alter this segment in the market. Proposing this idea to GMCC would require Guillen to consider all the challenges he faces. Guillen will have to discover a strategy to increase household penetration since it has fallen to 24% in the past few years. The lack in market penetration has caused a miniscule growth of only one percent in the past three years. In order for Guillen to increase the penetration percent, he will need to reevaluate the “Kisses” commercial. The assessment of this advertisement revealed the lack of effectiveness for brand recognition and relevance. Introducing. Also, when reviewing the “Purchase Drivers In Canada As Compared To The US” it is apparent that consumers are concerned with the quality of the dough, the flavors offered, and the amount of cookies offered.

    The Kellogg Company is the world's leading producer of cereals. Its products are manufactured in 18 countries and sold in more than 180 countries. For more than 100 years, Kellogg's has been a leader in health and nutrition through providing consumers with a wide variety of food products. These are designed to be part of a balanced diet and meet the different tastes of consumers. Kellogg's focuses on sustainable growth. This involves constantly looking for ways to meet consumer needs by growing the cereal business and expanding its product portfolio. Market research is a specific area of marketing that informs businesses like Kellogg's about the things consumers need, how best to design products to answer those needs and how to advertise those products to consumers. Market research goes beyond finding out what consumers are thinking today. It can identify what consumers might want in the future. In this way market research helps a business to make more informed choices. This reduces the risks for any new product development (NPD). It also increases the likelihood that products will be well received by consumers when they are launched. Kellogg's launched Crunchy Nut Cornflakes in the UK in 1980. Since then, it has become one of the most important brands for Kellogg's with a sales value of £68 million (according to IRI sales data). In 2003 the Crunchy Nut brand created a brand extension. This involved using the Crunchy Nut name to launch a new product called Crunchy Nut Clusters. This variant has two varieties, Milk Chocolate Curls and Honey and Nut. Both of them have enabled the brand to reach a wider group of consumers. This brand extension is now worth £21 million in annual value sales (according to IRI sales data). This case study focuses on the importance of market research during the development and launch of Crunchy Nut Bites, a more recent extension to the Crunchy Nut brand. The objective of this innovation was to provide a new flavour and texture for…

    Cadbury's Use of Market Research

    Cadburys first identified a market through a rise in modern society. With modern technologies people are often found to have a night in, with things such as ‘Girls Nights’ becoming popular. Cadburys noticed that there would be a market for snacks, for these type of events and ‘lazy days, something that is ‘easy to share and contains enough pieces in the pack for everyone’. Cadburys have acknowledged the problem and have created a solution: ‘Cadbury Snaps are individual chocolate curves, available in a variety of flavours. There are approximately 40 curves in each pack. With so many pieces in each pack and with Snaps available in a variety of flavours, Snaps are an ideal chocolate sharing product.’ This criteria fits into the needs for this type of market as well as Cadburys finding a target market: ‘young adults (20-35 years old) who are sociable and enjoy spending time with their friends and family.’ Cadburys have found a problem and offered a solution to a target market that is likely to purchase the product.…
