STRATEGY
Managers of Just Veg would like to launch a brand awareness campaign that will reiterate the health benefits of this product versus other ‘unhealthy' alternatives (high sugar content, processed food, preservatives). Due to changes in lifestyle (imposed by COVID-19 protective measures) lack of exercise, and limited supplies of fresh produce during offseason periods - it is important to focus on health benefits of eating fresh carrots. The creative solutions should focus on the unique selling propositions of this product such as: freshness, nutritional value, vitamins content, and convenience such as being sliced, shredded, portable and ready to eat. The brand is not widely available and as a result it is important to limit marketing expenditure and use the most effective communication channels that will target specific market segments in those areas where the product is currently available.
