Apple & Eve, a New York-based beverage com-
pany, is one of the leading producers of 100% juice and
organic juice in the United States. Offered nationwide,
Apple & Eve is most widely known for its apple juice
and on-the-go single servings for children and adults.
Apple & Eve is revered for its commitment for provid-
ing wholesome juice with servings of fruits and veg-
etables to consumers. They have received numerous
awards for their company growth and healthy product
lines.
In recent years, the juice category, specifically
the organic juice category, has been rapidly growing
and is highly congested. Today, there are over 119 juice
manufacturers and companies in the United States
competing within the category. Green Giraffe identi-
fied the need for an exciting campaign for Apple & Eve
as a way to separate it and help its greatness stand out
amongst the category. Through the use of television,
magazine, online, out-of-home and in store advertis-
ing, Green Giraffe strives to promote the Apple & Eve
brand as the only choice for moms for their children.
Their 100% juice and organic products come straight
from Mother Nature. “From one mother to another,”
Apple & Eve’s ingredients are more nutritious than all
other juices in the category and is the best choice for
moms and their families.

HistoricalContext CompetitiveForces
Apple & Eve pioneered the original 100% juice box
and has been around for the last 40 years creating
quality juice products that are healthy, convenient,
and great tasting. Apple & Eve provides vital vitamins
and minerals in all of their juices and juice blends as
a way of helping consumers reach their daily vitamin
intake. Additionally, Apple & Eve offers more than 100
different sizes and shapes of different juice blends to its
consumers.
Due to product proliferation and the increasing num-
ber of juice flavors and brands in the market, there
is more competition facing Apple & Eve. Growing
numbers of vegetable juice and vegetable-fruit blends
compete with the Apple & Eve brand. Additionally, ris-
ing demands for coconut waters have become a com-
petitive force for our client and are a direct result of
the health-and-wellness movement in America. There
is also an increasing number of juice bars opening up
around the country, which bring competition to our
client because people are going to juice bars rather than
buying juice in-store. Recently, large numbers of quick
and self-service restaurants are offering smoothies and
juices, which make up nearly 39% of the $3.5 billion
juice and smoothie bar market. Lastly, juicing trends in
America have resulted in more consumers using home
blenders and juicers to make juice instead of buying
them in store.
Since 2007, fruit juice sales have been declining.
Vegetable juices and vegetable-fruit blends have also
increased sales in the market. The industry average for
juice prices is at its highest point, causing people to
buy other beverages as a way of saving money.

PoliticalForces
Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign, which was
announced in February of 2010, has been educating
parents and children about healthier food options. The
campaign aims to put healthier food and juice options
in schools as a way of making kids healthier and reduc-
ing childhood obesity rates in this country.
LegalandRegulatory
Forces
As of July 1st, 2014, the USDA implemented national
nutrition standards for competitive foods, which pro-
hibit schools and food and beverage companies from
selling fruit or vegetable juice that is not 100% juice.
TechnologicalForces
With the development of the stevia plant, a natu-
ral, low-calorie sweetener, the nectar juice seg-
ment has boosted tremendously. Additionally,
increased production of fresh, organic fruits and
vegetables are available to consumers. The inter-
net has increased awareness for healthier juice
options. There is more knowledge on healthier
foods to put in juice through social media and it
is easy to find juicing recipes online. Flash-freez-
ing techniques help to preserve nutrients in
frozen fruits and vegetables, which allows for
improvement in the production of juice. Lastly,
new blenders and juicers with innovative tech-
nology are on the market, giving people the
ability to make their own juices at home.
SocioculturalForces
Consumers are continuing to grow more and more conscious of their health, which leads to purchases of healthier
products. Juice is no longer just for kids as busy parents seek a quicker, more nutritious product. Restaurants are
also beginning to offer a wider variety of juice options. Rising environmental and animal-treatment awareness has
led to a higher demand for meatless products. Additionally, there is an increasing demand for innovative flavors
outside the standard orange and apple in the juice market. There has been a decline in sit-down breakfast eating,

MarketingObjectives
The marketing goals of this campaign are to increase sales of Apple & Eve by 6%. Green Giraffe will accomplish this by
highlighting the brands’ qualities of pure ingredients, health benefits and refreshing taste that children will enjoy.
AdvertisingObjectives
Within the target market of children ages 3-10 and mothers ages 18-49, Green Giraffe will see 80% of the target audience
comprehend Apple & Eve’s message by the end of the year. Of those 80%, 60% will find conviction and value within the
brand and intend to purchase Apple & Eve juice. Green Giraffe will reach 80% of our target audience an average of 4 times.
Overall, Apple & Eve’s sales will increase by 6%.
TimeFrame
Green Giraffe’s campaign for Apple & Eve will run for one full year from August 2016 to July 2017. Children primarily
consume juice during average ten-month school period from mid-August to mid-May. Because of this, Green Giraffe has
implemented a pulsing campaign with periods of heavy-up advertising during the key time of back-to-school months
during September and January.
Budget
Green Giraffe has been granted 10 million dollars to execute this campaign. Our agency has allocated the budget as fol-
lowed:

ResearchObjectives
1. Determine what mothers look for in a juice box that they serve to their children
2. Ascertain what women in our target market know about Apple & Eve
3. Identify what media channels and vehicles our target markets use most frequent
SecondaryResearch
For our secondary research, Green Giraffe organized
available data from Simmons OneView, Apple & Eve website,
trade journal publications and SRDS to discern what media
and lifestyle habits are practiced by women with children
between the ages of 18-24, 25-34, and 35-49.
Through Simmons OneView, we found women in
our primary target market between the ages of 25-34 say that
their friends come to them often for health and diet advice and
that they are the first among their friends to try a new health
food, but that they like to indulge themselves in foods that are
not as good for them. However, due to their busy lifestyles,
these women are not able to take care of themselves as well
as they should. Data also revealed that the internet has very
much changed the way our primary target market shops and
consumes media and information. These women are 60% more
likely to require internet access “on-the-go” when they are
away from home and work, and they rely on social media such
as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to stay connected with
friends and family.
Using the Apple & Eve website, we were able to gauge
how the company interacts with its consumers and succeeds in
marketing towards women and children in their tactics com-
pared to other members of the category. We also used their
website to analyze their overall brand aesthetic, history and
online representation.
Green Giraffe used SRDS to determine what media
vehicles best penetrated our target market. Through this site
we found the number of circulations, unique visitors and rates
for each medium our campaign intends to utilize for this
campaign.
PrimaryResearch
To ensure the clearest sense of our primary and secondary targets, Green Giraffe conducted
primary research by creating an online survey. Our team isolated the responses of survey
responders to interpret the data most relevant to approximate the opinions, values and beliefs
of our primary target market. Of all of the 102 responses gathered, Green Giraffe totaled 88
responses from the primary and secondary target market of women with children between the
ages of 18 and 49.
Green Giraffe’s first intention was to gauge our audiences habitual and timely consumption of
juice. According to our results, Green Giraffe found that 3 out of 4 women in our target market
only consumed juice drinks “rarely” to “sometimes.” Only 17% of women with children report-
ed that they drink juice “often” or “everyday.” The optimal time for juice intake was reported by
65% of our responders to be in the morning.
Second, Green Giraffe aimed to determine what brand and type of juice women with children
between the ages of 18 and 49 prefer. Our findings informed us that 52% of women did not
have a juice brand preference. However, when asked what juice brand first came to mind when
hearing the word “juice,” 53% of responders indicated Tropicana, followed by Motts at 13%.
One written text response was “Green Juice (we juice at home),” indicative of the growing
home-juicing trend.
We chose to include questions pertaining to the health-conscious reasons associated with juice
consumption. Health deemed important when women with children were asked if they would
choose a juice brand offering all-natural ingredients over artificial ingredients. 74% of responses
indicated “definitely yes” to purchasing all-natural juice, followed by 24% of responders choos-
ing “probably yes.” Furthermore, 57% of these women would be inclined to purchase a juice that
included a full serving of vegetables, 28% answered “maybe,” while 6% indicated they required
more information. When asked about their willingness to pay more for organic juice, 67% of
respondents reported “definitely yes” or “probably yes.”
Regarding flavor, the majority of our target market reported that they purchase juice for taste
(64%) as opposed to convenience (6%), nutrition (21%) or dietary need (9%). Orange ranked
as the number one juice flavor by 44 out of 84 responders wrote a text response pertaining to
Green Giraffe’s question of flavor preference. This is not surprising, as orange juice is the most
popular American juice flavoring and is primarily consumed in the morning hours. Factors
that were most important to consumers when they made a juice purchase were nutrition, flavor
and ingredients as opposed to fun packaging which was deemed as least important by 51% of
responders.
Finally, Green Giraffe how Apple & Eve ranked among our consumers as a brand of juice
they would prefer to consume over Capri Sun, Juicy Juice, Minute Maid and Mott’s. Out of
the responses to this question, 37% ranked Apple & Eve as their top preference followed by
Mott’s at 26%. Minute Maid, Juicy Juice and Capri Sun were preferred by less than 17% of
responders.

CampaignStrategy
TheChallenge
Many mothers are buying on-the-go juice for their children and for themselves out of convenience and price,
often times forgetting about the nutritional components inside the juices that they are consuming. Green Giraffe’s
campaign will challenge mothers to choose the all-natural, organic option for themselves and for their children.
TheKeyInsight
Through our primary and secondary research, Green Giraffe found that 74% of mothers want to purchase juice
from a brand that offers all-natural ingredients over artificial ingredients and 67% were willing to pay more for
that option. We also found that 57% of women would be inclined to purchase juice with a full serving of vegetables.
TheBrandPromise
Green Giraffe will promote Apple & Eve as the organic, all-natural option of juice for moms and their kids. We want
to show moms that Apple & Eve cares about what kids are putting in their bodies because wholesome nutrition is
the key to a healthy life. We want moms to incorporate Apple & Eve as a quick and easy solution to providing nutri-

TheBigIdea:FromOneMotherToAnother
CreativeStrategy
Through extensive research, Green Giraffe has discovered that suburban moms are concerned about their children’s
consumption of processed and chemically-infused foods and beverages. As a result, they desire to purchase items
that are organic. However, finding the brand with guaranteed, all-natural ingredients can prove a challenge in this
highly competitive market. Green Giraffe’s campaign will clear the confusion by providing moms with an assurance
ArtDirection
The visuals for this campaign connect average moms with Mother Nature through Apple & Eve juice. Average moms
and their kids portrayed in natural landscapes to show how closely related mothers are to Mother Nature when they
purchase Apple & Eve. Earth tones such as green and blue will reinforce the ads’ pure, natural theme. We will also
use pictures of children happily drinking Apple & Eve to reinforce our target markets preference for the juice.
Copywriting
Our messages stress Apple & Eve’s commitment to all-natural ingredients and reinforce the idea that Apple & Eve
provides products directly from Mother Nature to the everyday mom. Our ad will bring brand awareness of Apple &
Eve to all moms. Our ad copy states the message: “From one mother to another,” along with sentences explaining the
meaning behind each image.

CreativeTestingResults
To ensure Green Giraffe’s creative would be effective, we shared our commercial, storyboard, billboard, online
and print advertisements with members of the primary and secondary target audience. The women we showed
our ads to were very responsive to our creative, and felt that what we generated was relevant and felt they could
identify with the message. Many women felt that the magazine ad portraying Apple & Eve coming out of the
ground was innovative, captivating and intriguing. They liked how Apple & Eve was shown directly coming out
of the ground, and liked to be compared to Mother Nature. Moms who saw our ads felt that the Apple & Eve
brand supported their personal commitments to healthy lifestyles for themselves and for their families. There
were several comments about Apple & Eve’s original logo. Because of this, Green Giraffe altered the design and
created an alternative logo.

Media Objectives
Reach our Target Audience
Our primary target audience is mothers between the ages of 25 and 34 years old. Our secondary tar-
get audience is mothers between the ages of 18 and 24 and mothers between the ages of 34 and 49. We plan to
reach these mothers through a variety of media including print, television, internet, transit and out-of-home
outlets as well as earned and owned media.
Geographic Scope
The geographic scope of our campaign encompasses a combination approach of national and spot lo-
cations. Television, magazine and digital advertising media will maintain a national geographic focus, whereas
regional locations will be utilized in regards to advertisements placed in out-of-home, transit and in-store me-
dia. Our regionally focused advertisements will be placed in the metropolitan areas, specifically New York, Los
Angeles, Chicago and Boston. Green Giraffe has decided to implement this mixed geographic strategy as we
have found we can reach a majority of our target market and attain our desired levels of reach and frequency.
Message Weight
A majority of the women in our target audience regularly check their email, social media (Facebook,
Instagram, and Twitter), watch television and browse the internet. Mothers in our audience also enjoy finding
activities outside the home to do with their children. Green Giraffe has chosen its weight within each medium
to remain consistent with the lifestyle habits of this campaign’s target audience.

Media Strategies
Green Giraffe’s effective reach for the Apple & Eve campaign is 80 with an effective frequency of 4. This cam-
paign will follow a pulsing strategy throughout the course of the year. We have chosen to heavy-up our media
during the back-to-school months when mothers are preparing to send their children back to school after the
common winter and summer academic breaks. These occur on average in August, and January, which are the
months we have chosen most of our media to go live. Additionally, Green Giraffe’s brand activation tactics will
occur throughout the year and heavy-up during the kick-off of our campaign in August, the end of the winter
season between January and March, and at the end of the school year in May, which will end our campaign.

Apple & Eve Orchards
Activity -The Apple & Eve Orchards will be a series of interactive outdoor exhibits placed in locations cities such as
Union Square in New York City and Millennium Park in Chicago.
Objective - Our goal with this out-of-home brand activation tactic is to enhance and promote Apple and Eve’s im-
age and awareness among mothers and their children. This will help to promote a fun and caring image of Apple
and Eve among moms and their families. This event will ensure that Apple and Eve is at the forefront of a mother’s
mind when deciding which juice to buy for her kids.
Strategy - The exhibit will feature fun activities that engage mothers and their children and offer free samples of
Apple & Eve juices. The exhibit will revolve around an “orchard” featuring fake trees where parents and children
can pick juice boxes from the branches as if they were apples and will attract others into the event. Other activities
will include bobbing for apples, live music, and samples for kids. These will be implemented during early Summer
and Fall months when kids are gearing up to head back to school and apples are in season.

The Story
In 1975, “a time when natural foods were more hippie than hip,” Apple & Eve joined the market with its first 100% all-natural juice. The
company decided to let “juice be juice.” This meant no additives such as sugar or preservatives to be included in its product lines. Nearly
40 years later, they have stuck to this same model and continue to provide USDA organic, all-natural juice to their consumers.
In 1978, Apple & Eve introduced a 100% all-natural cranberry blend. Then, in 1982, the company invented the first additive-free juice
box, which changed school lunches forever. Since then, kids have been the focus of the all marketing efforts. The company partnered
with Sesame Street in 1999 as a way of featuring various characters on different juice-flavored boxes. The campaign was named “Sesame
Street Puts Kids on the Road to Healthy Habits,” and is still running.
Apple & Eve now boasts over seven different product lines in over 20 different flavors. The brand places a strong emphasis on flavor and
nutrition--satisfying both moms’ expectations and kids’ taste-buds all over the country.
Goals
By the end of next year, we predict this campaign will boost Apple & Eve sales by 6%, awareness by 80% and comprehension by 60%.
Target Market
Suburban, upper-middle class moms ages 18 to 49
The Challenge
Grocery store aisles are inundated with brands making claims to 100% all-natural, organic ingredients. Apple & Eve challenge is posi-
tioning the brand above its competitors as the best juice of choice for their children. moms have trouble determining which juice is the
best choice for their child’s’ nutrition.
Advertising Objectives
Effective reach for this campaign is 80 and effective frequency is 4. Of all U.S. moms ages 18 to 49, at least 80% will have an opportunity
to see the “from one mother to another” message on an average of four times.
The Emotional Need
Moms want a juice brand they can trust. In other words, a juice that places their nutritional concerns at the core of every bottle and box.
“From one mother to another” means natural ingredients moms can count on: not a false claim or a marketing ploy. Moms want to feel
confident in what goes in their childs’ bodies.
Competitors
Our main competitors for this campaign are Motts, Capri Sun, Minute Maid and Juicy Juice.
