A Coconut for All Reasons
The following is a fictional case study showing how INFOley: Information can provide research in
support of PR.
Remit for ZigaZag PR Limited
New beverage brands are ever-more rapidly appearing on supermarket shelves, vying for customers’
attention, and CCC Drinks Ltd. has invited ZigaZag PR Ltd. to present a pitch, with a view to raising
the profile of their coconut juice drink.
Much of the competition has obtained coverage in the conventional arena of lifestyle magazines.
Whilst CCC Drinks Ltd. recognizes that this sector is relevant for their product, they are keen to dis-
tinguish themselves in the marketplace, beyond the conventional.
CCC Drinks plan, initially, to limit activity to the North West and North East of England.
However, it is intended to roll-out the product nationwide and therefore the remit is to devise a plan
that would not only attract attention but also maintain interest for a six-month period nationally.
CCC Drinks Ltd. is a relatively small company and, to date, has kept PR in-house, without PR ex-
pertise. Resultantly, PR mistakes have been made.
