Marketing Plan and Sales Strategy
Target Market
Fizzy Bottles sells non-alcoholic carbonated drinks. The market for non-alcoholic beverages is relatively large. Almost all people fit into the targeted market for the products of this business. The following is a detailed description of the characteristics of the target market to which Fizzy Bottles will be selling its products.
Demographic Description
The target consumer of Fizzy Bottles is a male or female between the ages of 16 and 35. The typical person who would purchase these drinks belongs to the middle class and earning between $25,000 and $50,000. The racial/ethnic composition of the target market includes white, black, Hispanic, and Asian consumers. The product targets people with an education range of a high school diploma to a college degree.
Geographical Description
The sale of Fizzy Bottles will initially be limited to the United States. The company will first begin selling within Dallas and its environs. The company will target the Dallas metropolitan area and a100 square mile radius around the city. This being an urban region, it is likely to include the targeted demographics. The intention is to grow the business later to target Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. However, the capacity of the company is still limited. Therefore, in its initial stages, the company will sell its products in the local markets.
Lifestyle
This business targets young and youthful people who are concerned about health and fitness. One of the major concerns with many carbonated drinks is the health aspect. Many carbonated beverages in the market contain some components viewed as unhealthy such as caffeine and too much sugar. Fizzy drinks target young people who care about the elements of the beverages they purchase. Such people tend to consider the nutritional components of the edible products that they buy. The company will make its drinks with healthy ingredients that will be acceptable to this market.
Psychographic
Psychographic segmentation differentiates the target markets based on their shared beliefs, values, behaviors, and personality traits (Goyat, 2011; Larsen, 2010). Fizzy Bottles seeks to capture the psychographic market of people who love trends. The leading age group targeted, is young and fun. People who follow the trends. In this age of social media, as long as trendsetters present Fizzy Bottles as a trendy drink, then the target market will likely want to join the trend. Thus, the business seeks to show the target market that it is fun and refreshing to drink a Fizzy Bottles flavor.
Purchasing Patterns
The young and fun people tend to buy things that they cons ...
This document proposes an advertising campaign for Founders Brewing Co. to promote their new Backstage Series beer called Big Lushious. The campaign would involve a scavenger hunt where customers can only initially purchase Big Lushious at select retail stores, and after buying it at two locations and collecting bottle caps, they can get it on draft at the Founders taproom. The goal is to increase sales of Big Lushious by 10% and build awareness of the Backstage Series within the target audience of young professionals ages 21-30 by 30% through participation in the scavenger hunt campaign. The budget for the campaign is estimated between $10,000-20,000 and would be allocated primarily to radio,

This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

4. Executive Summary
Within the Carbonated Juice industry and Sparkling Beverage, IZZE competes with brands that
are also known for their flavored, sparkling drinks. San Pellegrino, ICE, Polar Sparkling Water and
La Croix are nationally distributed in the United States more than IZZE. Due to this, IZZE sales are
low and statistics show that western cities are more likely to purchase Sparkling Juice than any
other region. IZZE’s lack of brand awareness among their competitors makes it difficult for IZZE
to attain a higher brand and category development index. Roots Media will be implementing
strategies to increase awareness within major cities in the USA that have a low percentage of
IZZE’s brand recognition, so that consumers immediately choose to purchase IZZE products. We
will create a better brand awareness within those cities by developing a campaign around IZZE
Sparking Juice as the “last ingredient” to top any snack, meal or activity. Through print advertise-
ments, radio, television, social media campaigns, and through our brand activation, we hope to
meet our primary target audience of female consumers ages 18-30 and secondary target mar-
ket of females ages 25-40. By being present in areas, stores or on television shows that our pri-
mary target audience may be in such as music festivals like Coachella or Bonnaroo to having
an IZZE product placed in Food Network’s TV show, ‘Chopped’, we hope to increase our sales
by 15%. For our younger consumers in college, Roots Media will use guerilla marketing in com-
munities and college campuses in our geographic areas to generate interest based on a value
appeal for IZZE. Additionally, we want to meet the consumers’ needs for an alternative bever-
age that resembles soda, especially for our health conscious drinkers. Consumers have to pay a
heavier price for IZZE products, and by choosing this healthier, lower-calorie drink, they lose the
option to consume other beverages that may provide caffeine, such as coffee, or vitamins, such
as pre-made smoothies. Secondary competitors include water, fresh juice and soda.

6. Brand Analysis
Analysis of Marketing and Sales Objectives
Roots Media will create better awareness within major cities in the USA that have a low percentage of IZZE’s brand recog-
nition. We will create a better brand awareness within those cities by developing a campaign around ‘IZZE Sparkling Juice’
as the “last ingredient” to top any snack, meal or day off. With this awareness, IZZE set our goal to increase distribution
nationally by 30%. In order to achieve our distribution goal, IZZE has allocated an $18 Million budget for our media plan.
Category Trends
Carbonated Juice Industry, and Sparkling Beverage category during the years 2009 and 2014, the consumption of
sparkling water raised by 56.4%, and the ‘Independent Woman’ emerged.
Economic and Societal Trends and Factors
IZZE currently competes with other brands, like San Pellegrino, ICE, Polar Sparkling Water, and La Croix, that are known
for their flavored, sparkling drinks. IZZE has been positioned as a carbonated soft drink, but through our marketing
campaign and sales strategy, we also hope to develop the idea that the brand can be trusted and associated with
convenience and exquisite taste to top off their snack, meal or day as the last ingredient.
Positioning
Carbonated Drinks Industry, and Sparkling Juices category
Geography & Timing
IZZE Sparkling Juice is nationally distributed in the United States, and can be ordered online off of websites, such as
Amazon.com, for those that do not have a grocery store that provides the brand. Despite the national distribution, IZZE
sales are low, and statistics show that western cities are more likely to purchase IZZE Sparkling Juice than any other region.

7. Brand Analysis
The 4 C’s Analysis
Customer Wants & Needs
IZZE Sparkling Juice: IZZE has a variety of
product lines in various flavours and sizes;
they offer their all-natural sparkling juices in
eight or 12-ounce containers. As opposed to
other sparkling juices, IZZE’s sugar naturally
comes from the fruit they use, and their
original IZZE line does not contain added
high-fructose syrup.
How IZZE meets the consumers’
wants and needs
Due to the natural ingredients they use,
IZZE serves as an alternative beverage to
both high-fructose-filled soda to flavored
water. For our health-conscious drinkers, it
is important for them to understand what
ingredients are being used in their bev-
erages, and by being clear about IZZE’s
low-calorie option beverages, we are able
to meet their desires to watch what they
consume. IZZE also fulfills the desire for
soda our other consumers may crave.

14. Situation Analysis Recap
Key Challenge
The primary challenge IZZE faces is that the brand lacks awareness. IZZE’s competitors have a higher brand awareness among
the targeted audience. As a result of the IZZE’s low awareness, it makes it more difficult for IZZE to attain a higher brand and
category development index.
Key Consumer Insights
As a result of the low brand awareness, IZZE is not the brand consumers immediately choose to purchase and doesn’t cross the
minds of customers. By choosing a target audience whose lifestyle aligns with IZZE’s products, awareness and sales are subjected
to increase.
12
16. Objectives
Target Audience and Media Mix
To gain brand loyalty among women ages 18-30 through an effective
strategy of targeting women who are already health conscious. To reach
this target, we will place advertisements in various mediums: radio, televi-
sion, social, transit, magazine, and through our social media accounts. In
addition, through brand activation, we will implement events to generate
awareness for the IZZE products.
Reach, Frequency and GRPs
During the peaks of the pulsing schedule, IZZE will launch a campaign
that has a reach of 85, an average frequency of 3 and 255 GRPS.
Geography
To execute both a national and spot approach in the following DMAs:

designated marketing areas were chosen as a result of their high index
numbers within the sparkling fruit beverage category.
Scheduling & Timing
To launch a national campaign with spot heavy-ups in the DMAs listed
above. By implementing spot heavy-ups during our promotional events
and in the DMAs, it will generate awareness and increase brand loyalty.
Budget

ucts among our target audience nationally
by 70%
13
17. The Big Idea

your day. You can be sure that whatever you do, when you top it off with IZZE,
you won’t be dissapointed. It is the last ingredient in making your good time, a
great time.
14
18. TV Media Mix
TELEVISION
Television is a medium that allows brands to truly bring their products to life by creating a platform that focuses on reach and frequency.
TV shows bring a major source of entertainment to the world and specifically our target audience. Because our primary target is very
immersed in staying healthy, culinary, and travel as well as our secondary target who enjoys watching TV with her husband daily and also
has a love for cooking, we will be placing several :15 spot-heavy ads in TV shows such as Chopped on the Food Network, The Cooking
Channel, The Travel Channel, Kardashians on E!, Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal on ABC, and The Real Housewives and Top Chef on
Bravo. Our target audiences watch these type of shows and view these networks daily in regards to their personal interests and hobbies.
Each TV station we will choose has fairly high indexes, making this medium very appealing to place advertisements. By advertising during
these shows, our goal is to expose our IZZE brand enough times to our audience to increase our campaign frequency.
An example of an ad we created to be part of our “Last Ingredient” Campaign is a full speed ad showing a women traveling the
world. Each time she reaches a location(showing an outstanding view) in each country, it shows her lips sipping a drink – showing a sense
of accomplishment (cannot see what she is drinking – drink is cut off) –commercial slows down at the end..the women gets to her final
destination and pops open a nice IZZE and takes a sip - and it states Top Your Day Off With IZZE.
E! News is the station that you can find out all the latest news on celebrity scandals, gossip, and entertainment news. We will place ads
during Keeping Up With the Kardashians because it has a high index of and is a reality TV show that our target highly relates to
and enjoys watching many days out of the week.
15
19. TV Media Mix
Bravo is a network that airs various reality shows as well as high-end lifestyle type of shows. We chose to place our :15 ads during Real Housewives and Top Chef.
This fits our high-educated, city living, and cooking oriented target audience’s persona to a T. Real Housewives is very similar to the style of Keeping Up with the
Kardashians and Top Chef is another American reality cooking competition television series that our target adores watching. These are two select shows on Bravo that
our target likes to stay engaged with. This network is great for IZZE’s ad placements because not only is the index 162, which is above average, but the shows that
we chose to air the ads during covers many of the interests of our target audience, which will keep them watching, allowing for them to be repeatedly exposed to
IZZE’s advertisements.
Syndicated Television Shows
The Cooking Channel is a network that has recurring shows about food or with top global chefs sharing their best recipes and demonstrating some of their specialties
in cooking technique videos. With an index of 166, The Cooking Channel fits right with our brand image for IZZE along with both our primary and secondary target
audience because cooking is deeply a part of both of their daily lives.
The Food Network is very similar and goes hand in hand with the Cooking Channel. Since both of our targets have a love for cooking, we chose to feature IZZE on
the show Chopped. Chopped is a reality cooking show where 4 contestants compete to create the best meal out of a ‘mystery basket’ full of ingredients that the
chefs are unaware of in advance. IZZE will be placed in one of the chopped baskets for the show.
The Travel Channel is a network that allows the viewer to experience travel videos, shows, and guides on top travel destinations. It provides tips, shows updates, and
presents trip ideas. This network has an index of 157, allowing for a big chance to increase our brand awareness, frequency, and reach for IZZE. Our audience is big
on travel, so they will be very consumed in this network, therefore our advertisements will reach our intended audience.
National Television Shows
ABC - Grey’s Anatomy & Scandal

20. TV Media Mix
Media Buy
86.7% of our total budget ($15,600,700) will be allocated towards purchased media, while the remaining 13.3% ($2,398,400)
will be spent in our grassroots marketing tactics. In that 86.% of our budget, will be spent in television advertising for a few
reasons. First, our Simmons research concluded that our target is 60% more likely to consider themselves a “TV-addict” and
88% more likely to remember a brand name if they saw it in a television commercial. Also, because of our lower than aver-
age allocation towards spot marketing, we wanted to make up for it by using the media (TV) with the most viewer potential.
17
21. Magazine Media Mix
MAGAZINE
Magazines are a great medium to place advertisements especially because there is a magazine for everything, so you are bound to find the
right one that fits perfectly with your specific product, brand, and campaign. With an index of 146 for our audience who often reads advertise-
ments in magazines just out of curiosity, IZZE can be sure to benefit from this medium. This nails our secondary target audience because they
love to browse magazines in their spare time.
Women’s Health
We will be placing several IZZE advertisements in the Women’s Health magazine because it reflects the lifestyle of
our target audience. Our primary target audience is women who are very into fitness, nutrition along with a healthy diet
and staying active daily, even with their busy lives. Our primary target tends to stay in tune with the outdoors by jogging
everyday through Central Park with her dog. So, with that said, this magazine is a very adequate fit when buying our
media.
People
Our second magazine choice for our IZZE ads is People magazine. This magazine supplies exclusive access to exclusive
interviews with all the celebrities that members of our target audience follow through different outlets. It is one of the
most popular celebrity magazine and our target tends to read through the issues of this magazine when they want to
relax and catch up on some of the new social celebrity gossip.
Food Network
Our third choice is the Food Network, which is a magazine that takes you behind the scenes of our targets favorite Food
Network chefs and provides entertaining ideas for the holidays, special occasions, or just meal ideas for any type of day
or night. Our target market is able to find out all the Food Network Star secrets. Our target, primary and secondary
tend to use some of these “secret” recipes to cook for their family on a weekly basis for ‘Surprise Sunday Dinners’.

22. Magazine Media Mix
Media Buy
3% of our purchased media budget ($288,360) will be used to purchase full page and full
color ads in 3 magazines we believe best fit our target market. People, Women’s Health,
and the Food Network are all magazines that pertain to the interests of our perceived IZZE
drinkers. This specific medium was chosen because according to Simmons, sparkling juice
drinkers are 64% more likely to consider magazines worth the money, and 46% more likely
to read magazine ads just out of curiosity.

23. Radio Media Mix
RADIO
Pandora
Radio is a very important medium to tap into, especially when your primary target are women who are on the go many times
out of the day. These women can be reached through this medium the best because of their daily routines. We will be placing
:30 ads through Pandora Radio. We chose these this type of online radio because although traditional radio is popular when
commuting to work in your cars, our target often switches to online radio throughout the day when they are not in their cars
regarding their daily routine.
Media Buy
10% of our purchased media budget ($1,639,200) is allotted to radio. This is our second highest portion of the purchased media
budget because we believe our target market is extremely familiar with Internet radio, especially Pandora. Our demographic is
always on the go, so we purchased radio dayparts for all times throughout the day in hopes that they will have the opportunity
to hear our radio ads while they’re driving/walking to and from work, during the day when they are working, as well as later
in the night when they’re unwinding and just want to listen to music. We chose to spend more during the Night Time day part
because we believe the young professionals are most likely to be relaxing and more focused on the music, and in return the ads.
20
24. Social Media Mix
SOCIAL MEDIA
Our target audience is comprised of young, curious, high-quality, engaged women who have a very strong connection to social media
as well as a high presence. They are very in-tuned with what is going on around them in the world of celebrities. As a result, it is essential
that we take advantage of this medium in order to be able to accommodate their online actions and behaviors.
We will advertise on Twitter, Facebook, Buzzfeed, Instagram, Youtube and Pinterest. Our target audience is always posting pic-
tures on instagram of meals that they’ve learned how to cook, searching tips on youtube, looking up the current buzz in today’s world
on buzzfeed, or connecting with co-workers and other girlfriends on facebook and twitter.
For example, specifically on Buzzfeed, we will be placing an interactive banner ad sponsored by IZZE in the food section. It will show
a few ingredients sitting in a row and a bowl. The user is able to click each ingredient and drag it over to the bowl. Once they drag
each ingredient to the bowl, it will automatically start mixing up the ingredients and ultimately creates one of the IZZE flavored drinks.
The banner will then pop up a link to direct the consumer to the recipe page on our IZZE website.
In addition, we plan to have consumers share their experiences with IZZE through these social media outlets by posting pictures per-
forming any type of activity with an IZZE at hand or even a post of a new cocktail recipe that someone created incorporating IZZE as
an ingredient . Consumers will use the hashtag #thelastingredient, #toppingmydayoffwithizze, or #myizzerecipe. This will hopefully create
buzz around our brand to show that everything is better when you end it with IZZE. We want our audience to answer the question
“How do you top your day off with IZZE?” by engaging themselves in our social media staying involved with our brand.
Our ultimate goal is that our media plan will inspire more people, IZZE drinkers and potential IZZE users to follow all of our social media
accounts, get involved, but we also must maintain the content that we provide for IZZE, so that we can continue to engage consumers
with our brand. All in all, we wanted to increase our frequency and this medium is a critical outlet that needs to be utilized in order
to reach our goals for IZZE’s brand.
Media Buy
Because Social Media is free, we plan to use it throughout the duration of our campaign. Both our primary and second-
ary target audience are very active on social media. While our social media use will be constant, there will be a slight
increase in posts during our various events.
21
25. OOH Media Mix
OUT-OF-HOME
CitiBike
For out of home advertising, we will place several ads in public transportation media such as on buses, subways, and the CitiBike. Because
our target audience is primarily active women with busy lives in the urban area, we felt this medium would suit our brand well in order to
get our message across to them in the most efficient way, increasing our reach and frequency. Public transportation is one of the most
important mediums of advertising that a brand can utilize because it is everywhere and always on the move. People are immersed in
advertising in or on public transportation every single day.
Bus & Subway
Our first strategy is have advertisements as bus wraps and on the walls of bus stops as well as for on and inside the subway cars as well
as in the subway stations.
Media Buy
We decided to use 62% ($1,500,000) of our grass root budget on transit because of the guaranteed impressions on our market. A
reason this is so expensive is because we plan on infiltrating all 5 of our spot markets with IZZE branded citibikes, buses, and subways for
the entire year. Due to our target’s preference to live in large metropolitan cities, we’re aware of the cluttered advertising world of big
cities. We hope our target appreciates our partnership with public transportation as one more way we can go a little greener. As long as
our target market leaves their apartment or house, they are most likely going to be exposed to some sort of public transportation with
the IZZE logo. We believe this will be one of our most effective media buys due to the high reach and very high frequency.

26. Geography
Geography
After conducting Simmons Research, we found that a majority of sparkling juice drinkers live in either Northeast or Western United States.
Our Northeast sample is 10% more likely to drink sparkling juice while the sample in the West is 78% more likely to enjoy an IZZE! Un-
fortunately the Midwest is 48% less likely and the South is 24% less likely to prefer sparkling juice as their first beverage choice. Given
the above data, we chose five spot markets to focus our grass root marketing initiatives. Because of the overwhelming Simmons index
numbers supporting sparkling juice in the West, we chose Los Angeles (CDI-121), Portland (CDI-101), and San Francisco (CDI-101). For the
East, Boston (CDI-96) and New York City (CDI-112) stuck out to us do to their large metropolitan cities where our primary target is most
likely to live.

27. Brand Act: CityHarvest Fest
City Harvest Fest
City Harvest’s, Bid Against Hunger event raises money to fight against hunger in NYC every fall. Top chefs
prepare bite size dishes and drinks are served. Over 900 people attend the event. IZZE will provide drinks
for the event and be the “last ingredient” in special cocktails. This will be a great corporate social responsibility
tactic for IZZE to increase brand awareness among the older demographic of our primary target audience
and the entire secondary target audience.
24
28. Brand Act: Grass Roots
Grass Roots Music Festival
Starting in 1991, the Finger Lakes GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance is
an annual festival held the second-to-last weekend of July in Trumansburg,
New York, a small town ten miles north of Ithaca. The GrassRoots Festival, or
simply GrassRoots, as it is known, draws nearly 20,000 visitors throughout
the course of four days. GrassRoots presents over 70 musicians, bands and
dance troupes on four simultaneously running stages continually throughout the
long weekend. This location
and event is perfect for
our target market when
they want to get away
and take a weekend trip
to socialize and finally get
away from their 24/7 on-
the-go busy life.
IZZE will have a few tents set up filled with IZZE drinks and be sponsored at the
annual grassroots festival. We will have IZZE pinwheels printed on the ground,
scattered in multiple areas of the festival. Each pedal will have a “dare” written.
In order to receive a free IZZE drink of choice, the person must give the dare
to someone else - a friend or find a stranger to take on the challenge – they
have to take a picture or video completing the challenge and must post to
a form of social media, for example facebook or instagram with the hashtag
#IZZErootschallenge. Each person must show any of the IZZE representatives at
any of the tents in exchange for a free IZZE. The best post will be chosen by
IZZE representatives and reposted on all of their social media pages – for a
reward of a free supply of IZZE drinks for 1 year.
25
29. Brand Act: Boston Calling
Boston Calling Music Festival is a three-day, two-stage festival
featuring some of the biggest and best acts in live music. The
event will be one big party with easy access to both stages, food,
services and more.
This festial works
great for our target
audience because
it is another social
event that they can
engage themselves
in that happens to
be located in one
of our targets des-
ignated locations for
IZZE’s campaign.
IZZE banners will be
hung around the entire festival grounds, there will be tents hand-
ing out IZZE drinks for promotion, and lastly there will be IZZE
sponsored beach ball balloons flying around throughout the
performances.

Boston Calling Music Festival
30. Brand Act: Coachella
Coachella Music & Arts Festival
Coachella is an annual music and arts festival held at the Empire
Polo Club in Indio, California, located in the Inland Empire’s Coach-
ella Valley in the Colorado Desert. The event features many genres
of music, including rock, indie, hip hop, and electronic dance music,
as well as art installations and sculptures. Across the grounds, several
stages continuously host live music.
IZZE will be placing more
than life-size glow in the dark
sculptures of IZZE bottles all
throughout the Coachella
grounds, We hope this will
grab the attention of over
1,000,000 Festival at-
tendees, giving IZZE loads of
brand recognition. These IZZE
bottle sculptures will not only give IZZE a presence at one of the
largest music festivals in the world, but it will allow people to engage
with our brand because inside is an oversized photo booth with an
IZZE printed background designed with their pinwheel logo. This can
be fun for everyone to do with their friends or whoever they came
with to the festival to top off their coachella experience with an IZZE
experience. Each flavor will be promoted through the photo booth
bottles. People’s pictures will be submitted through the database
and posted in a slideshow format on big screens around the event
sponsored by IZZE.

Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival
The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival is an annual four-day
music festival developed and produced by Superfly Presents
and AC Entertainment; since its first year in 2002, it has
been held at what is now Great Stage Park on a 700-acre
farm in Manchester, Tennessee. The festival typically starts on
the second Thursday in June and lasts four days. Main at-
tractions of this festival are the multiple stages featuring live
music with a diverse array of musical styles.
We will be presenting the same glow in the dark IZZE sculp-
ture photobooths, have IZZE sponsored stage sets, as well

with special markers

32. Brand Act: Community Garden
Sen’s Community Garden
The Community Gardens program has provided gardening opportunities for the physical and social benefit of the people
and neighborhoods of Portland since 1975. There are 50 community gardens located throughout the city, developed and
operated by volunteers and PP&R staff, offering a variety of activities..
We chose to do a pop up garden that would be sponsored by IZZE. The garden would allow our target to immerse
themselves in the fresh homegrown world of IZZE. We would have IZZE pinwheels sticking out of the dirt throughout the
garden,, fresh fruit and vegetables that are the natural ingredients they can use to create their own IZZE drink recipes. We
want you to let your last ingredient be IZZE and see how much it can brighten your day.

33. IZZE two prius is our branded car that we use to drive to events. It is a simple way of promoting
the brand by people seeing the vehicle around in different areas and by WOM. We basically
want to draw attention to the brand similar to the LL Bean Car or Redbull car.

35. Brand Act: Product Placement
SweetGreen and Chipotle are two chains that fit our target market perfectly. They both are located in the areas
where our targets reside such as Boston, New York City, and San Fran. Our targets tend to pick up a quick lunch from
these places on their way to work or after running some errands. SweetGreen is the destination for fast and delicious
food that’s healthy for you which is perfect for our targets healthy lifestyle. The food is even made with organic ingre-
dients sourced from locally known farmers. Chipotle offers good food that provides clean ingredients.
IZZE is going to be sampling our beverages at Wegmans and Whole Foods where our primary target market
and secondary target market shop for groceries on a weekly bases. The Wegmans and Whole Foods stores
are also located in the geographic areas where our target market resides. These samples are simply to increase
brand recognition and awareness within our target segment.
32
36. Scheduling & Timing
Scheduling
Our campaign will have a pulsing schedule consisting of traditional media advertising with a combination of grass
root tactics to strategically place the IZZE brand in front of our target market. Our campaign will begin in March,
and continue for 12 months. Our venues for media placement will include broadcast and cable television, Internet
radio, and magazines. We plan to have a continuous and constant schedule as far as our traditional advertising
goes, but we will have many grass root events strategically planned in certain months, making the campaign as
a whole a pulsing schedule.

Background
IZZE Sparkling Juice is a high-quality, delicious beverage. It is made from 100% real fruit juice. It is a great option because it is much lower in calories than
other sugary sodas. IZZE sells various types of their drink as well as a variety of unique flavors including Blackberry, Grapefruit, Apple, Blueberry, and Pome-
granate. In order to increase awareness in our brand, we created a very interactive, engaging, and elaborate media plan with a goal to increase aware-
ness by 70% nationally. We believe we will achieve this by increasing our brand activation efforts, our social media presence, and by focusing primarily on
our reach.
