HISTORY
The business started out as a kettle corn company in
the Bastian family’s garage in 2001.
Ms. Bastian and her husband, Dan, began selling home-
made kettle corn in a few local stores and at events.
By 2012 they started to launch a brand that they could
expand and move beyond kettle corn. That’s when they
launched BOOMCHICKAPOP, the sea salt popcorn flavor.
Four months later, the Sea Salt BOOMCHICKAPOP
popcorn became their No. 1 selling product.
They then started converting all of their products.into
BOOMCHICKAPOP which was completed by the end of
2014.

ENVIROMENTALANALYSISCOMPETITIVE FORCES
Although BOOMCHICKAPOP was not the first “healthy” popcorn snack for consumers, it began
to grow it’s brand awareness and distribution throughout the United States. Competitors such
as Skinny Pop and Smart Food are both two brands that are very well known, and according
to our survey, consumers either bought Smartfood or Skinny Pop at the grocery store, rather
than BOOMCHICKAPOP. Respondents were also unfamiliar with the name of our brand until they
saw the packaging. This shows that the competing brands have better brand awareness towards
consumers. Bringing this new brand into the market has caused a threat to it’s competitors.
SOCIOCULTURE FORCES
The number of consumers is increasing based on the price, quality, taste and overall health of
the product. Due to many consumers being concerned with their caloric intake, BOOMCHICK-
APOP offers products with calories as low as 35 calorie per cup. Since being “healthy” is the
popular lifestyle, BOOMCHICKAPOP advertises their health benefits directly on their packaging
to emphasize their nutritional benefits and value of their products. By providing this type of
snack to the consumer that is NON-GMO, low in calorie, 0 grams of trans fat, vegan, gluten and
cholesterol-free, they have created a competitive product in the snack market giving consumers
the opportunity to purchase a something with not only nutritional value, but with a variety of
flavors to choose from too.
LEGAL REGULATORY FORCES
The food and drug administration must approve BOOMCHICKAPOP before being distributed
throughout the U.S. to assure a safe, wholesome and properly labeled product.

EXPLORATORYRESEARCH
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
-What does our target audience choose for a snack?
-Do our consumers shop at stores that sell our brand?
-Discover our target audience’s preferred popcorn snack brands
-Determine our target audience brand awareness of BOOMCHICKAPOP
PRIMARY RESEARCH
For our primary research, Provision Advertising conducted a Google form survey that
received 345 responses. 75.6% of respondents identified as female, 22.7% as male and
1.7% of respondents stated other. Based on the age ranges that were offered, only 31.5% of
respondents fall within our target demographic. When asked in the survey, “which brand of
pre-popped popcorn do you buy, 11.6% of respondents answered that they purchase BOOM-
CHICKAPOP. Another question asked was, “Have you ever heard of BOOMCHICKAPOP?” As a
response, 52% of women answered yes and 3.2% of women answered maybe. When shown a
bag of BOOMCHICKAPOP and asked the same question, there was a 16.9% increase of “yes”
responses and a 2.6% increase who responded with “maybe.” Provision Advertising can
conclude from this data that while people can recognize the brand, not enough of target
consumers are purchasing this brand of popcorn. Top name brands dominated consumer re-
sponses due to brand loyalty. Also, based on the findings, women ages 25-49 are not the ones
who are purchasing this brand of popcorn, but are aware of the brand. Provision Advertising
wants to make consumers more aware of the value of BOOMCHICKAPOP through it’s health
benefits and variety, thus creating more sales from the target market.

13. THE BIG IDEA
12
CREATIVE STRATEGY
At Provision Advertising we tested our ads with 25 respondents between
within the age of our target audience. The majority of the responses were
positive and thought that our ads were pleasing to the eye and persuasive
in trying our brand. About half of the responses were heavily persuaded
to go out and try our popcorn and the other half, though they weren’t
previously aware of this brand, are now willing to try it. After testing
our ads, we added more direct calls to action, and increased how many
flavors of popcorn were shown to reinforce the variety in our brand.
Our audience understood the high-quality convenient snack that we are
promoting and a few observants even said they can’t wait to add some
“POP” in their lives.
14. 13
CREATIVE
STRATEGY
CREATIVE STRATEGY: The Poppers live busy lives, they’re always on the go and we will focus on the fact that
BOOMCHICKAPOP is convenient. Whether it’s the cycler, the soccer mom, or a workaholic, BOOMCHICKAPOP offers a
flavor for every type of consumer. Our ads will portray their energy through bright “pops” of color and the variety bags of flavors
to symbolize each consumer’s uniqueness.
ART DIRECTION: In order to emphasize the variety of flavors BOOMCHICKAPOP offers, we created ads that portrayed
the bags in different designs to show off their bright color/flavors and make them look appealing to the consumer so that next time
they are at the grocery store, they will see our packaging, recognize it, and want to purchase a bag. Each illustration for magazine,
internet and direct mail ads will be placed over a matching background with a light texture and pastel color corresponding with the
bag’s color scheme. Our television commercial portrays a woman who is always on the go, doing many things every day. She can
always count on her bag of BOOMCHICKAPOP to supply her with a healthy snack at any time of the day. No matter what is changing
in her day, she can always rely on BOOMCHICKAPOP to be by her side.
COPYWRITING: Each magazine ad will display a blurb of creative copy below our illustration of the popcorn bags. They
are specific to which question the ad is asking the consumer: “Having a boring day? Make it Pop,” “Which flavor will you choose?”
and “What’s your top flavor?” The body copy explains there are 8 flavor options to choose from, the health benefits, as well as where
you can find BoomChickaPop in your local grocery store. Our slogan, Make It Pop, stands for multiple things within the experience.
“Popping” open your bag, “popping” it into your mouth, “pops” of color which signify the variety of flavors, how enjoying BOOM-
CHICKAPOP is the biggest “pop” in your day, as well as anything up to the consumer’s interpretation. We also added in our social
media icons, prompting consumers to “follow and like us.”

MEDIA MIX-
INTERNET RADIO
PANDORA: Having BOOMCHICKAPOP partner with
Pandora, which has 78 million monthly listeners, it
would be an effective way to increase Brand Awareness.
Pandora has developed a personalized music experience
that’s called the Music Genome Project. As a result
of this, they show only one ad at a time which helps
to capture the audience’s full attention while using
data enabled targeting to guarantee that the brand is
reaching the right target audience.
SPOTIFY : According to Spotify,
the average cross-platform free user
spends 148 minutes listening to
Spotify throughout their day, while
working, studying, exercising, or
relaxing. Since listeners can use
spotify almost wherever they go,
this is a great way to access our
target. Starting in May of 2015,
Spotify launched Playlist Targeting.
This enables brands to use Spotify’s
first-party data to help target differ-
ent audience segments rooted from
the streams on Spotify’s 1.5 billion
playlists.
SOUNDCLOUD: Since SoundCloud is an independent,
up-and-coming streaming service, it is a smart way for
BOOMCHICKAPOP to reach their audience. With Sound-
Cloud, BOOMCHICKAPOP would be able to create audio
advertisements such as podcasts, which is an innovative
and diverse way to advertise their brand. Podcasts are
able to cover any topic that might be of interest to their
audience which doesn’t require a visual component.

The New York Times noted that the television show, Grey’s Anatomy, is the most popular television
show among women, with a little under 76% of the audience being female. Whether it is a woman and
her daughter getting together to watch Grey’s Anatomy, a graduate student tuning into ABC to watch
the show after a long day of studying, or a woman watching the show as she is on the treadmill at the
gym, Grey’s Anatomy is the perfect show to reach our target market since it is a program loved by
many women.
The show the Bachelor, which has had 20 seasons thus far and recently received 9.5 million viewers
during the two-hour season finale of this past season, attracts women of all ages. Since our target
audience has narrowed in on women, specifically ages 25-49, advertising during this show is a great
way for BOOMCHICKAPOP to increase brand awareness.
Ellen Degeneres, according to deadline.com, has been ranked as the #1-rated talk show in women ages
25-54. Our target audience for BOOMCHICKAPOP fits perfectly into this age group making it a great
T.V. show to focus on that would help our brand get recognition.

BRANDACTIVATION
Make your SOUL POP! Partnership with SoulCycle. Our objective is to
increase brand awareness to the healthy lifestyle workout community.
Having SoulCycle help promote BOOMCHICKAPOP allows the brand to be
exposed to many different women across several ages who are interested in
having a healthy snack. Our strategy is that SoulCycle is an on the rise
cycling company that has buildings in 11 different states in the U.S. Many
fit, higher income, and busy women attend these classes to help stay in
shape. The company promotes to “bring out the SOUL” in the members and
participants of the 45 minute classes. BOOMCHICKAPOP bags could be sold
in the studios as well as promoted on SoulCycle’s social media. We will also
have coupons available at SoulCycle and a coupon code off SoulCycle’s
website to use online. Some competitions will be incorporated such as, for
every class you attend, your name will be entered into a chance to win three
months worth of popcorn!

BRAND
ACTIVATION
Make it POP in your mouth! Sponsored Snapchat Filter. Our objective is to expand social
media presence to Snapchat which will allow us to gain brand awareness among all
snapchat users. Our strategy is that the filter would have pieces of popcorn flying in the
users mouth when they open their mouth. A picture of BOOMCHICKAPOP’s popcorn bags
and flavors will be shown across the bottom of the screen. Interaction with customers is
a great way to get them to remember our name.
POP ‘n’ GO! BOOMCHICKAPOP vending machines. Our objective is to make
vending machines of BOOMCHICKAPOP for on-the-go customers to enjoy a
healthy, convenient, high quality snack. Our strategy is that this
vending machine will express how convenient
and high quality of the snack as well as
provide the variety of flavors for the
customers to pick from. There will be a scratch
off code on all the bags inside the vending
machine with different coupons to use in local
stores to buy BOOMCHICKAPOP! Vending
machines will be placed in shopping malls
during November and December since those
are busy shopping months and will be placed
in gyms during January and February since
many people set New Year’s resolutions to be
healthier. These will continue the idea of
quality on the go.

EVALUATION
Provision Advertising has three main objectives for BOOMCHICKAPOP.
First, we aim to increase audience comprehension to 75%. We also
predict to increase audience conviction to 50% and our final objective is
to increase sales of BOOMCHICKAPOP by 10%. We predict that these
objectives will be achieved through using appropriate media
vehicles and brand activation strategies. This ultimately will be
executed by using effective strategies of communications to
promote the convenient, healthy, high quality snack. See below how
we have outlined our expected progress.
