For the children, they mark, and the children, they know

Exhibit .2: Analysis of the Sweet and Savoury snack market in Ireland

! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!
25!
!
• Current value sales of sweet and savoury snacks in Ireland grow by 1% in
2013, reaching €433 million,
• Retail volume sales grow by 1%, reaching 41,600 tonnes during the year
• Falling discretionary levels are not impacting the category significantly as
consumers continue to purchase small personal treats
• Fruit snacks is the highest growing category in 2013 with a value sales growth
rate of 4%
• Average unit prices stay stagnant at €11.70 per kg in 2013
• Tayto remains the leading player within the category with a value share of
30% in 2013
• Constant value sales decline by a 1% CAGR over the forecast period
• In total volume terms, the growth rate of the category has fluctuated between
a narrow margin of 1% and 2% since 2008-2009.
• The category has performed well, especially when consideration is made for
the pressures put on discretionary income levels during this period.
• The general consensus is that while the populace may have cut down their
expenditure levels, the sweet and savoury snacks category has been somewhat
sheltered from this as people still allow themselves low-cost treats
• Chips/crisps and extruded snacks are the most important categories in the
sweet and savoury snacks category in Ireland.
• In 2013, they are expected to account for €311 million or 72% of retail value
sales overall.
• Ireland’s love affair with chips/crisps shows no sign of abating and indeed, in
2012, Ireland had four chips/crisps brands listed in the top 100 fmcg brands:
Tayto; Walkers; Hunky Dorys and King.
• The extruded snacks category also has a strong presence in the Irish market
with Pringles placed strongly in published top brand listings.

! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!
26!
!
• Sweet and savoury snacks continues to face strong competition from other
categories, in particular confectionery.
• While the sweet and savoury snacks category is well positioned due to the
particular health connotations associated with nuts, seeds and fruit snacks,
manufacturers must be aware that, in confectionery, sweet and savoury snacks
faces competition from a very innovative multinational category, which has
huge marketing muscle, something that many of the small producers of sweet
and savoury snacks cannot financially compete with.
• Tayto Ltd is expected to remain the outright leader in the sweet and savoury
snacks category in 2013 with a value share of 30%. It registered a slight
growth in 2013 thanks to a successful marketing and the innovative nature of
the company.
• Walkers Snack Foods Ltd is expected to remain the second largest company
within sweet and savoury snacks in 2013. Walkers, a PepsiCo brand, entered
Irish sweet and savoury snacks in 2000, competing with many strongly
established indigenous brands.
• A large initial investment in marketing and promotion enabled the launch to
become a success, with the portfolio of brands, including the Walkers
Sensations range and Doritos snacks, available in the vast majority of Irish
retail outlets in 2013.
• Domestic brands are expected to continue to lead the sweet and savoury
snacks category in 2013
• Tayto Ltd, the largest company in sweet and savoury snacks operates the most
successful fmcg brands in Ireland
• Since Walkers Snack Foods entered the market in 2000, it has commanded a
significant value share of the category.
• In the fruit snacks and nuts categories, an indigenous company, Shamrock
Foods, and a British company, KP Foods, lead respectively.

! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!
27!
!
• The extruded snacks category is dominated by international brands, with KP
Foods and Kellogg, which purchased the Pringles brand from Procter &
Gamble in 2012, leading overall.
• There was a nod to nostalgia when Tayto Ltd distributed a limited edition six
pack designed completely in Irish for a period of six weeks from the start of
March 2013.
• Other innovations in the chips/crisps category saw the introduction of new
flavours, such as Irish Atlantic Sea Salt by Keogh’s crisps.
• Walkers Snack Foods continues to target the health-conscious consumer by
extending its baked crisps range through the introduction of Walkers Baked
Hoops and Crosses.
• King Crisps has been positioned in the premium segment of chips/crisps
through the launch of its “Gold Standard” crisp range
• The category is estimated to grow at a 1% total volume CAGR over the forecast
period.
• In the face of unfavourable economic conditions and a depressed retail
environment, this can be viewed as a positive outcome.
• This forecast is dependent on the category seeing continuing product
innovation, new flavour variants in all categories and the development of
more “natural” and healthy products containing fewer artificial additives, and
lower levels of sodium and trans fats.
• A continued emphasis on health and wellness by the populace at large and the
spectre of obesity, especially amongst Irish children, will continue to see
manufacturers grapple with the health credentials of their products.
• While products in categories such as fruit snacks and nuts are perfectly
positioned to increase their overall value shares, chips/crisps and extruded
snacks will continue to need to come up with innovative ideas to maintain
their shares of the impulse-driven sweet and savoury snacks category.

Exhibit.8 Market Research – Primary
In order to gain a deeper understanding of the consumer’s perception of the Keogh’s
brand, we took it upon ourselves to conduct a small amount of market research. Our
main goals were to discover how consumers in the Irish market felt about the
Keogh’s brand, as well as the product itself. We also aimed to determine how Keogh’s
compare to their biggest competitors in the market.
8.1 Keogh’s Crisps Questionnaire
!
We first began with an online questionnaire with which we distributed to both male
and female consumers. 138 Surveys were conducted with the first 100 responses
collected for analysis.
The gender split was almost equal, with 50.52% male and 49.48% female.
Our aim was to survey consumers between the age brackets of 18 years to 65 years.
We found that 79.8% of respondents fell into the 18-25 years age bracket. 19.19% fell
into the 26-35 years bracket and 1.01% into the 46-55 years bracket. We had no
respondents from the 36-45 years bracket or from the 56+ years bracket.
When asked how ‘health concious’ our respondents were the results varied quite a
bit. The most popular response was ‘somewhat health concious’ with 57% choosing
this option. 25% of people feel they are ‘very health concious’ with 14% believing they
are ‘not very health concious’ and 3% claiming they are ‘not at all health concious’.
The top 5 ‘Most Preferred Brand of Crisps’ are listed below according to our
respondents (not in order of preference):
• Keogh’s
• Hula hoops
• Tayto
• Kettle
• King

! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!
35!
!
*We found it notable that Keogh’s were placed in the top 5 of preferred crisps, and
that Kettle were the only of Keogh’s main competitors to place.
When asked where our respondents most often buy crisps we found that the majority
of them tended to buy in supermarkets over anywhere else (43%).
Note 97 respondents for this question, 3 skips.

! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!
36!
!
We discovered that our respondents generally a single packet of crisps once a week
(36%). This is followed by 22% purchasing once a month, 18% every 2 weeks and 8%
every second day. 6% of our respondents claim to buy a packet of crisps every single
day.
When discussing Keogh’s crisps themselves we found that 57% of our audience had
heard of the brand, with 43% stating that they had never heard of Keogh’s before this
survey.
Cheese and onion was ranked as the number one flavor with 40% of the votes, with
salt and vinegar coming second with 25% of the votes.
On the issue of pricing it was interesting to note that 54% of our respondents would
not pay more than €1.20 for a packet of crisps. 39% of people would not pay more
than €0.90, and 7% would not pay more than €1.40.
Finally, when questioned on their loyalty to buying Irish products we found that
more often than not people will tend to buy Irish over other products.

Exhibit .9 Keogh’s Crisps - Taste Test
!
As a part of the primary market research a Taste Test was carried out on members of
a survey panel. These consumers had taken part in our survey, and ranged from 21
years of age to 60, male and female. We also questioned each individual on how
health conscious they felt they were.
The taste test comprised samples of crisps from Keogh’s and their 3 main
competitors; O’Donnells, Kettle and Tyrells. Salt & Vinegar flavour was used as this
flavour was common across all four brands.
Our findings showed both Keogh’s and O’Donnells to come joint first in taste testing,
meaning customers preferred the flavour of these two over the others. Kettle came in
second and Tyrells in third place.
We then required a randomly selected few members of our panel to test a different
flavour between Keogh’s and O’Donnells; Sweet Chilli. You can see from the findings
below that Keogh’s were found to be the preferred choice.
Finally, each member of the panel was asked which flavour of the Keogh’s crisps they
believed tasted the best and the overwhelming response we got was the Roast Beef
flavour.

9.1 Customer Response/ General Feedback
!
Overall comments - General Consensus:
• Chilli Flavour crisp packaging should always be red (Keoghs is pink, and
O'Donnells is green)
• Tyrells - too harsh, flavour not strong enough, too crunchy, very vinegary,
too much vinegar.
• Kettle - no flavour from them, right crunch to crisps but not enough
flavour, bland
• O'Donnells - Great flavour from them, good texture too
• Keoghs - slights cheese taste to all of their crisps (even the salt and
vinegar!), great texture to them.

Exhibit .11 Case Study Analysis
The sources used for research towards creating Keogh’s crisps advertising campaign
were:
11.1 Jameson
Jameson began to target a new target market as a result of their ageing customer
base. They have created a buyer persona based on the research they have conducted,
which have identified a gap in the market. The young professionals, who enjoy
socialising, have not yet identified their preferred alcoholic beverage. For the
campaign they have used a tag line “You’ve heard the stories, now meet the Legend”,
which was rolled across all of the social media platforms Jameson had utilised (K.
Jackson, M. Laing, S. W. Lu, N. Moshi, 2011).
This case study inspired us to create Feilim’s buyer persona for the Keogh’s crisps.
According to CIA statistics approximately 750 thousand people in Ireland are from
25 to 34 years of age (CIA, 2014). This part of the Irish population are young
professionals with high exposable income, who like high quality and Irish produce, a
perfect target market for Keogh’s crisps.

11.2 Walkers Sensations “Journey through flavor”
Walkers took a more creative approach to increasing their brand awareness, by
incorporating an acrobatic dance into their campaign, which emphasises on the
Asian inspired flavours and their taste brilliance (T. Nudd 2009). Each dance
portrayed the sensation of one’s palate when enjoying Walkers crisps. This ad
campaign showed the extent of possibilities in the creative matter, when promoting a
product.
!

! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!
51!
!
11.3 Lyons tea campaign ‘bring the talk home’
Lyons had identified a particular aspect that large amount of their target market
shared ‘existing relatives abroad’. Because of the recession, many family members
were unable to come back to Ireland to visit their family. This created an emotional,
positive brand association (K. Corbett, 2013). Lyons campaign showed us that
identifying a current trend or characteristic that your target market share, will create
a base for an emotional connection between a brand and their customer. If used
properly this will generate a fantastic response, but also can fail if inappropriate
suggestions or references are use in the ads.

11.4 The Vodafone campaign ‘#First time’
Vodafone connects to the viewers on an emotional level. The Ads describe the
personal journey of an individual who is achieving their dream. There are a number
of distinct stories adapted to each individual depicting their dreams and detailing
their success (independent.ie, 2014). By enabling people with ability to change the
publics’ opinion or perception on each relevant topic chosen by the person in the
story, Vodafone is sending a message that they believe in and promote positive
changes and individuality.

Exhibit .13 Theory behind example ads in slides
13.1 Traditional Media:
Radio-
As one of the primary traditional media channels chosen, radio will allow Keogh’s to
establish and broadcast brand voice and values. According to the
businessetc.thejournal.ie in 2013, 84% of adults listen to the radio daily, this
presents majority of Keogh’s target market, creating great opportunity for the
company to extend their reach and increase their brand awareness. Joint National
Listenership Research Survey (released January 2014) has indicated that RTE Radio
1’s Moring Ireland is ‘the most-listened to show in the country’ and had actually
further increased their reach by a thousand, making their listenership of 449,000
(RTE.ie, 2014).
TX FM and Spotify were chosen as advertising channels that would be aimed at
younger audience (Feilim Buyer Persona). These will insure that Keogh’s message is
reaching the target market using a channel they would use on daily basis.

! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!
55!
!
PR-
In the past public relations campaigns were the primary source of publicity for
Keoghs. The ‘Spud Festival’, fairs and events attended by Keoghs team, helped to
increase the brand awareness and generate business leads for distributers.
Nonetheless, with today’s emphasis on digital technology and the increased use of
social platforms by the general public, indicates that the line between traditional and
digital media is beginning to blur. Digitally interactive PR stunts are becoming
increasingly popular by big brand companies, for example the augmented reality PR
demonstration that have been occurring in UK, have really pushed the limits of the
imagination and created phenomenal response from the public (“National
Geographic's recent AR campaign let people interact with dinosaurs”; Pepsi
augmented reality bus stop; Lynx augmented reality London’s Victoria Station; and
many more). These are only snapshots of the PR possibilities today, which still may
be incorporated into the following chosen locations for Keogh’s crisps PR campaigns.
Rugby and other sport matches, as Ireland is recognised for their rugby and boxing
achievements, targeting these event locations will ensure the optimum results.
Sponsoring rugby teams, selling Keogh’s crisps at the stalls, and sponsoring Irish golf
players will ensure international recognition, which will prove to be beneficial for
exports.
Irish Electric picnic and Westport Festival of Music are but a few of the music
festivals which occur in Ireland annually. These events gather people from different
parts of Ireland creating a perfect conditions for Keogh’s brand to target masses
through these events, while increasing sales (through selling crisps or fries and chips
made out of Keogh’s potatoes), thus ensuring Keogh’s brand presents in the Irish
market.

! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!
56!
!
Newspaper
With a rapid decrease in newspaper readership in Ireland, one might think that it
could pose a waste of financial resources to use it for advertising, but there is a
growing popularity in digital newspaper consumption. Newspapers creating apps
which display an actual replica of the newspaper for the day, as public have voice
their preference of the newspaper page structure, in comparison to the list of
headings and menu pages displayed on websites. Nevertheless, according to
‘National Newspapers of Ireland’ research readership in Ireland is still going strong,
with approximately 5.2 million newspapers being sold on weekly basis, and 1.5
million gratis newspapers being distributed weekly (nni.ie, 2014).
Irish times ‘The Ticket’ Ads would be aimed at the Feilim buyer persona, as it was
identified that they would hold a particular interest in this magazine because of their
interest in the content (culture and entertainment news). According to Irish Times
‘The Ticket’ readership figures for 2012 show that 208,000 adults read it (Joint
National Readership Survey, 2012).

13.2 Digital Media:
!
Social media platforms
Nowadays social media is becoming a primary customer contact point for many
businesses, if used effectively the results can be astonishing or if not monitored and
cultivated the outcome may result in brands demise. Keoghs have recently begun to
utilise the social media platforms by running promotions, thus driving reach and
engagement to their accounts. To further increase engagement to their customers on
social media platforms such as Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and Vine, Keogh’s need
to create informative and creative content, promotions and further continue with
branding messages and posts.
Twitter:
“What is your favourite way to eat Keogh’s Crisps? Do you experiment with
cooking? Check out our #recipe blog for some delicious ideas.”
Create your own recipe using Keogh’s crisps as ingredients or share your favourite
combination of Keogh’s crisps with other foods, will encourage customers to
purchase the product for numerous purposes, thus creating more scenarios for
Keogh’s crisps consumption.

! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!
58!
!
Twitter updates:
Continues updates on Keogh’s activities keeps public in touch with the brand. This
will ensure constant brand exposure, creating ongoing brand publicity.
The Irish Times website ads: a whole page takeover or banner, skyscraper, or a
square, will generates brand awareness for a large portion of Irish population.

! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! !!
59!
!
Display Ads

turn drive sales.
