DAGOBA Organic Chocolate
Brief
Create a campaign that increases the brand awareness
to appeal more consumers to buy the products, while at
the same time repacking their products and repositioning
DAGOBA Chocolate as high-end and upmarket products.
Brand History
The name of DAGOBA chocolate comes from the
Sanskrit word for temple. In 2001, the founder of
DAGOBA chocolate, Fredrick Schilling, stared making
his own organic chocolate. Ingredients included Chai tea
spices, chilies and dried rosehips.
As demand grew, the DAGOBA was acquired by the
Hershey Company in 2006 and kept the main factory in
Ashland, Oregon.
To keep sustainable development, the DAGOBA uses
recyclable packing and aimed to zero wasted from farm
to consumer. In 2012, the entire DAGOBA chocolate
product line started use cacao from Rainforest Alliance
Certified farms, attempted to lead the way of sustainable
farming.
DAGOBA chocolate uses organic and sustainably-
grown cacao that protect the rainforest. By working
with the Rainforest Alliance, the DAGOBA benefits the
environment, economic sustainability and social equity.
DAGOBA’s current product includes the following
organic products:
• Chocolate bars

Current Brand Status
The current DAGOBA chocolate is not popular. Although
DAGOBA positions themselves as high-end products,
everything feels very philistine. Their logo and the package
of their products are really “old fashion”. In one word, the
design of the products is conflicting with its high quality.
Target Consumer
Chocolate has a large market with lots of consumers.
DAGOBA chocolate’s targets on people aged between 18-
40 (College students – Middle-aged people).
• College students
Aged 18-25. These individuals have basic living expenses.
They are male and not single (in a relationship). They would
be probably described as “romanticism”. They are young,
and willing to spend money to buy a gift for their girlfriend
in special occasions. They have good taste of fashion and
style. They don’t like philistine products. Everything in
their life is proper. They are clean and considerate. During
weekend, they would probably go to the cinema with their
girlfriend.
• Parents
Aged 30-40(generally). Have at least one child (b or g).
$4,000-6,000/per month. They are middle class family and
fully educated. They vegetable shop. They have healthy diet,
and barely let their children eat juke food.
• Young lady
Aged 18-25. Female. Single. Most of them are college students
with basic living expenses. They like eating desserts and
candies, but they don’t want to grow fat. These girls willing
to spend money to treat themselves. Most of them go to gym,
because they want to keep fit. These individuals may probably
buy Vogue Magazine and they are “picky” about chocolate,
they eat dark chocolate with almost 50% pure cacao only.
The main goal here is to catch these three groups’ attentions.
