We are a group of six who wear Buzz Lightyear backpacks, write shows for children’s TV, dress like we’re ready for the catwalk, make hamburger cupcakes, travel the world and watch WWE. We are odd individuals who have creative sides, as well as a few hidden talents that have helped us diversify ourselves from our peers. We are advertising buffs who look forward to make an impact in the advertising industry. Together, we make up an advertising agency.

We are Agent-C.

We took a look at your portfolio and learned about your rich history as a company of powerful and innovative brands. After looking at what you’ve done, along with some research of our own, we realized that entering the deodorant market is a profi table move for Energizer to capitalize on.

To develop the best product possible, we evaluated the current deodorant market and current advertising strategies. We found that many brands are missing out on an opportune transition period between teen and adult segmented products. While companies target both individually, no brand creates a bridge between the two.

We also found that most brands’ products are either hyper-feminine and hyper-masculine, and most use one of two positioning strategies: perception or product attribute. Highly successful male brands, like Axe, focus on selling a brand perception where boys are at the epicenter of every woman’s desires. Opposite to this, female brands highlight a specifi c product attribute like clear application, the feature of Degree’s “Little black dress approved” campaign.

After seeing the success of perception campaigns in the male market, Agent-C decided to take hold of this idea for Energizer in the female market. This campaign will focus on selling a perception, allowing for trial and word-of-mouth to sell the attributes of our brand.

We found a unique and profi table niche for you in the market of transitional females. Using a perception-based campaign, we can advocate authenticity and celebrate boldness for these women who don’t fi t the current female deodorant mold of glitter and sparkles. With our campaign, we will further the relationship between you and your consumer.

Energizer already excels at building long-lasting, quality products. With this brand platform, you can continue to make a difference, but in a new market.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:A SNAPSHOT OF WHAT WE’RE ALL ABOUT.

Page 5: Scape Deodorant

Our fi rst priority was to understand how Energizer could create a niche in the marketplace. In order to do this, we did in-depth research and analysis with the following objectives in mind.

1. Evaluate current product demographics to develop Energizer’s own niche

2. Research current ad campaigns for each to create a point of differentiation

3. Survey the marketplace to learn what attributes are most important to them

4. Create a profi table strategy that will reach your market

5. Use post-testing to make sure your product and campaign effectively communicate the message

In order to reach these objectives, we drew insights from industry publications, consumer ratings, and products that already existed in the marketplace. We also spoke directly to your audience, collecting over 200 surveys on product preferences and lifestyle, and used pre- and post-testing focus groups to ensure that your product aligned with consumer desires.

RESEARCH & OBJECTIVES:SETTING GOALS AND LOOKING FORWARD.

Page 6: Scape Deodorant

5

Our research revealed that the deodorant products were targeted to either teen or adults, but no campaign was directed at those who were transitioning from one to the other. Also, major male brands like Axe and Old Spice sold the perception that their product would make boys the center of every woman’s desires.

The majority of female brands pushed specifi c product attributes, like clear application, specifi c scents, or strength. They also used imagery that was pastel in color and feminine.

SITUATION ANALYSIS:WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE.

Page 7: Scape Deodorant

A deeper look into the market helped us identify specifi c positioning for the product among female consumers. We want to celebrate her new independence as she starts making major life choices, on her own, for the fi rst time. This brand will help them share their unique decisions that defi ne bold character.

We will focus on the transitional females who have graduated high school or college, and now are starting their fi rst careers. They represent a constantly moving, technologically savvy group of women who are 17–30 years old. As they enter the world on their own, they are forming their own ideas and opinions.

These transitionals have yet to establish brand loyalty among personal care products as they have recently switched from teen to adult brands, providing Energizer an opportunity to take market share form other brands.

TARGET MARKET:THE “TRANSITIONALS.”

To provide you with a more specifi c vision of this market, meet Audra. She is 24 and 6 months into an entry-level position as a sales manager at a large company with a 42,000 dollar salary. After rent and bills, she spends her money going out with friends, seeing concerts, and traveling. She is likely single, renting, and transitioning from hourly wages to a salary, giving her additional disposable income.

This is Scape. Scape speaks to the thousands of women that don’t feel best represented by the current market dominated by pastels and glitter. It is a brand for women who make little decisions everyday that represent a boldness within them. For these women we created a brand that exudes authenticity.

Page 12: Scape Deodorant

The packaging reflects the unique qualities of the women who would buy it. Our use of black and bright colors is inspired by the U by Kotex brand as well as other brands like Mac makeup.

We chose not to segment or emphasize the scents in order to let the user choose for themselves; a focus on scents would detract from the emphasis on perception.

In a post-testing focus group, all women responded positively to the packaging and one woman was quoted as saying that she “would definitely be drawn to it on the shelves.”

SCENTS• Pomegranate (red), Mango (yellow) Blackberry (purple)

Scape will be available at all major grocery and retail convenience stores nationwide. End-cap displays will be utilized to draw exclusive attention to the product, and prime shelf space will encourage buying.

Scape’s placement helps it to stand out on the shelves, the same way the consumer stands out in her life. Its high contrast and differentiation make a bold statement and embraces the women that are drawn to it, in design and attitude.

PLACEMENT:BOLD SHELVING FOR BOLD USERS.

The fi rst surrounds the launch with the sponsorship of the LA marathon. We will build awareness for the event using online and outdoor mediums. In the following month, all media categories will be used to better establish Scape in the market place.

MEDIA USAGE:

INTRODUCTORY SUSTAINING SPECIALEVENTS

The second phase will sustain the product after the launch. We will use a pulsing strategy to determine which mediums will best reach the market during promotional events. Online and television will remain strong because they are highly consumed by the market and will increase reach.

The third phase will have increased media placements to create awareness for the second promotion, the Scape Boldness Tour with Ingrid Michaelson. Social media will act as further support during this phase.

For our media strategy, we aim to attain a reach of at least 70% of the market and have split our strategy into three phases.

IT’S EASY AS ONE, TWO, THREE.

Targeting major cities will better reach the demographic. These placements will be emphasized in the following locations with a fi ve-mile-radius surrounding them: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco, Boston and Denver.

Television spots will be split between primetime television and cable networks relevant to your market. Your target females are light consumers of television, and on average are higher consumers of primetime TV than anything else. Using networks such as NBC, ABC and FOX on shows like GLEE, 30 Rock and Grey’s Anatomy will help reach the target market of young women who have full-time careers.

The other portion of your television budget will go to cable networks including; Style Network, TLC and Oxygen, the three highest consumed cable networks among your demographic. We will target programs such as Kate Plus Eight, Say Yes to the Dress, and How Do I Look? These cable programs will build frequency and reinforce media seen on larger networks and in magazine publications. It is also highly segmented among viewers which will increase the Target Rating Point, reaching more of your niche of viewers.

LA MARATHON

Scape Deodorant will sponsor the Los Angeles Marathon for its initial product launch. It will also sponsor individual teams who can qualify through our viral promotion. After the event they will be invited to an LA hot-spot to meet the winners, celebrities and other Scape teams. To reinforce Scape’s brand during these events, we will launch with a heavy media concentration.

LAUNCH:

VIRAL

The 200 sponsored runners will be required to submit a video submission of themselves saying their bold statement, or even acting it out. This will create a secondary viral element to the launch and have the target interacting with the brand from day one.

SPONSORING AN EVENT THAT MAKES A STATEMENT.

Page 27: Scape Deodorant

After your identity is established, it will be expanded upon through promotions that celebrate the activities and life changes of the transitional target. These promotions aim to develop awareness about your product by giving out free samples and encouraging a conversation.

PROMOTIONS:

24 HOUR FITNESS

The 24 Hour Fitness promotion places samples in gyms across the nation. Women can try Scape for free, use a sample when they forget their own from home, or just stock up on their new favorite deodorant.

IKEA

Scape will also place free samples in Ikea mock bathrooms across the country, making their bathroom set-ups look more realistic. This will also provide free samples for your shared target market.

SENDING SAMPLES TO START CONVERSATIONS.

PROMOTIONS:

WII FIT

The Wii promotion places a Scape tile on the Wii home screen. Clicking on the tile downloads a free, Scape exercise move and provides a code to order a free Scape skin for their Wii fi t board. This places Scape into the consumer’s home in a helpful way where they willingly invite the brand into their lives.

PROMOTIONS:

The Scape Boldness Tour will feature Ingrid Michaelson, an up and coming artist who embodies Scape’s brand and appeals to your demographic. Scape will partner with radio stations in the locations of each concert to stream her songs live and ask people to make their bold statements on-air between each song. As with the launch, an increase in media placements will be utilized to create better awareness during this event.

We will pitch to the LA Times, OC Register and LA Daily News for feature stories on the sponsored teams from the launch. Newspaper articles will be supplemented by ads that will run every Sunday in the Los Angeles Times for 8 weeks. The immediacy of the medium will reinforce the visibility of the event.

Infl uential bloggers will be contacted to test the product to generate a conversation online, furthered by Scape Facebook and Twitter pages that give users a platform to share bold statements.

During the Scape Boldness Tour in October we will give $1 to the Susan G. Komen foundation for every tweet with the hashtag #pinkisbold until the cap of one million dollars is reached.

This is phase one in a 2 to 3 year-long prospective campaign. Our goal in the fi rst year is to establish an image, tone and perception of Scape, so to align with your niche of transitional females.

Looking forward, we plan to spend years 2 and 3 incorporating product attributes to increase brand value. We will also expand events to more cities after an assessment of Scape’s place in the market. While our year-long campaign is holistic, we hope to turn this into a long-lasting relationship.

LONG TERM PLAN:

YEAR 1 YEARS 2-3

WE DON’T HAVE COMMITMENT ISSUES IF YOU DON’T.

Page 35: Scape Deodorant

After conducting market research and evaluations, pre and post testing, and target demographic interviews, we are confident that Scape will develop a strong connection to your target audience of 17–30 year old females. Energizer will be the brand that encourages transitionals to embrace who they really are.

To continually ensure that your relationship with the consumer is maintained, focus groups and monitoring of sales will be used throughout the year, aiming for a 75% positive reception among the target and 18% gain of the market share.

This partnership comes down to a relationship between you and the consumer. Our agency and our campaign are the bridge to creating this relationship.
