The presentation proposes a PR campaign to refresh the image of Nice Ice, an iconic ice cream brand, and help it compete with larger brands. The campaign would focus on increasing the brand's social media presence, promoting new flavors, and creating a "Create a Flavor" competition where consumers submit and vote on new ice cream flavors. The proposed implementation plan includes promoting the competition on social media, having an actress promote the brand and competition in supermarkets, and seeking press coverage in magazines and local newspapers. Progress would be evaluated through monthly meetings to assess engagement, sales, and if the campaign successfully refreshed the brand's image.
For my PR project, I worked on creating a PR campaign for an Ice Cream company called Nice Ice. They were looking to regain their target demographic and compete in the ice cream market, alongside Cornetto and Ben and Jerrys.

Dentsu Aegis Network - Quarterly on content marketingiProspect Norge
Content Marketing is essentially what it says – marketing with content, rather than with advertising. The new digital age has produced far more sorts of content – pictures, videos, apps - and therefore far more way for brands to use content in their marketing.
We are in a time where some people choose to block ads, and others choose to pay to avoid ads (for example in Spotify and Netflix); content marketing can bypass some of this avoidance.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

Financial curveballs sent many American families reeling in 2023. Household budgets were squeezed by rising interest rates, surging prices on everyday goods, and a stagnating housing market. Consumers were feeling strapped. That sentiment, however, appears to be waning. The question is, to what extent?
To take the pulse of consumers’ feelings about their financial well-being ahead of a highly anticipated election, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey. The survey highlights consumers’ hopes and anxieties as we move into 2024. Let's unpack the key findings to gain insights about where we stand.
Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”
These keywords which are searched just to know about stuff are called informational
keywords. Typically people who are searching this type of keywords are top of a Conversion
funnel.
Conversion funnel is the journey that search visitors go through on their way to an email
subscription or a premium subscription to the services you offer or a purchase of products
you sell or recommend using your referral link.
For some buyers, research is the most important part when they have to buy a product.
Depending on that, their journey either widens or narrows down. These types of buyers are
Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you
get for every 100 search visitors is called Conversion rate.
People who are at different stages of a conversion funnel use different types of keywords.

Nice Ice Full Script
1. Script
Slide 1
Good morning everyone. My name is Ali Hassan Arshad and today I am presenting to you a PR
campaign that will see your company, Nice Ice, an iconic ice cream brand, refresh its image and
compete in the ice cream market.
Slide 2
What do we want to achieve as the Chosen PR agency for Nice Ice?
We want to be up there competing with the big boys, survival is the key and we need to
make sure we’re up there selling with the leading ice cream brands.
Raise the profile of the brand in the media- Social media is key; it’s innovative and it’s
becoming one of the main components of attracting consumers.
Promote the next “Big Flavour”- People want something new and fresh and by creating a
new campaign to promote new flavours we can help achieve this. This allows us to reach out
to consumers and get feedback from them.
Create a USP and raise brand identity
Refresh the image- Yes Nice Ice is iconic, but it needs to remain in the spotlight and achieve
the objective of refreshing its image
Be popular during the Summer- The main time of selling and competing for ice creams is
during the summer.
Make money!!!
Slide 3
Now How Do We Achieve This?
We firstly have to do our research and one of the best ways to do that, is to look at what your
competitors are doing.
Competitors
Back in 2013, Cornetto focused on promoting their brand at young teens with their successful
Cupidity campaign. Short love stories were uploaded onto YouTube and Cornetto worked extensively
on their social media branding by promoting the #sharethelove hashtag a referral to sharing the
video to increase its exposure. The first video in the series has over 2m views as of today. Whilst on
social media platforms such as Facebook, they have over 10m likes on their page, in comparison to
other ice cream brands such as Ben and Jerry’s with 7m.
Now I’m not saying let’s start spending our PR budget on creating movies for YouTube, however
what I am saying, is that we need to attract the consumers that are popular in the ice cream market,
which evidently is young adults and use similar platforms .
2. Slide 4
Same with Ben and Jerry’s - They interact with their consumers through heavy social media
promotion. New flavour announcement allows consumers to know that a new flavour of ice cream
has been released and an eye catching photo entices people to buy it.
Slide 5
The Plan
So the plan, to be able to attract and increase sales during popular periods of ice cream selling such
as the summer, we need to become more prominent on platforms such as social media or regional
forms such as magazines. Whether it’s engaging in a two way communication between seller and
buyer, or uploading an image of a celebrity eating your branded ice cream- it’s simple and highly
effective. People will therefore see it, the exposure will be greater and people will therefore want to
buy the ice cream.
There’s no point in creating a campaign and then not having a platform to inform and spread the
message on, that’s why if we want to attract both a national and regional media system- being able
to work effectively on social media and in magazines is essential.
Slide 6
The Create a Flavour Campaign- The quirky idea
As we’ve spoke about how important social media is, it’s essential we look at a campaign we can
help to promote, attract and engage users. To engage with the consumer the campaign should
revolve around their ideas, their creativity and should essentially be thought provoking.
That’s exactly what “The Create a Flavour Campaign” will bring.
The campaign, allows consumers to create a flavour of an ice cream they think Nice Ice Cream
should make and sell. To help push the initiative and actually get people to participate in the
campaign, a competition will be set, whereby the top 3 flavours will be chosen. The people who
created the flavour will then win prizes and rewards.
Slide 7
This will be the valuable USP, many of our competitors are tentative to promote a ‘Create a flavour
campaign’ due to the tried and tested approach of their previously successful brands. But this idea is
the definition of quirky, it’s unexpected, people now have the chance to create their own flavours
and see it in the national and regional supermarkets. Plus it allows the consumer or the participant
to be imaginative, create a flavour out of nothing and turn their kitchen into a science lab where
quirky ideas and flavours can be created.
Slide 8
The Implementation
3. We've spoke about the plan and the platforms in which we will get this message across, but we must
combine the two together to create the essential plan of implementation.
The idea is to remain specific to the core of Nice Ice's target market, young adults and teens, but the
ideas of implementing can be broad for example, for online via Facebook and Twitter, we can post
content of how consumers can enter the competition and focus heavily on promoting the prizes that
are on offer- vouchers, free Ice Cream for a year etc. Images on Twitter and Facebook are both
appealing and effective, an image of a new flavour created by a consumer allows for others to react
and get involved.
Another online piece that's effective is YouTube, a video competition, asking consumers to "show us
how to make it", or show consumers how to get involved, every view or like shows the exposure it’s
getting and shows how effective the campaign is to view for the consumer.
More for a regional basis, we could look at turning Nice Ice into a human, our lovely Ms Nice Ice,
could visit regional supermarkets to promote the campaign by asking shoppers to create a flavour
using the ingredients in the supermarket. Every visit could become some sort of a promotional tour;
every visit to a regional supermarket will be followed by the press or food bloggers of the area who
will be taken along in the tour. Press coverage whether it’s through ice cream magazines such as,
“The National Dipper”, or articles in the local paper, can become a major factor in promoting the
campaign, as it gains exposure for those people who don’t go online. Therefore we are catering and
promoting for both an online and regional audience.
Slide 9
Evaluation
To evaluate the progress of the campaign, it’s very important that we in take regular meetings with
the in-house marketing team to analyse the methods of the campaign and whether they are being
implemented to its full potential.
Meetings will take place a month before the campaign would start, allowing us time to come to
make adjustments to the campaign if needed. The meeting will also allow us to come to the
conclusion surrounding the budget that needs to be funded for the campaign, the social media
campaign may not be as costly as the Mrs Nice Ice tour. We’ve estimated that the campaign may
cost between the regions of £25,000 and £30,000 due to the heavy use of Ms Nice Ice touring the UK
for our regional promotion and the need to promote the competition and prizes.
Meetings will then be taken place in all three months of the campaign; this will allow us to evaluate
the current position and how well the campaign is doing and judging its progress we can come to
conclusions about its success. This meeting will also allow for future planning especially leading up to
summer time, and whether the campaigns effectiveness can help achieve the target of being popular
during summer.
Finally, a meeting after the campaign will take place which evaluates the campaign in general,
debating whether the campaign has successfully refreshed the image of Nice Ice through- press
coverage of Ms Nice Ice, the amount of participants in the “Create a Flavour Campaign” and whether
there has been a clear up scale in consumers buying Nice Ice creams.
4. So thank you for watching my presentation and I hope to hear from you very soon about prospects
of working together. 10
