Great Scott Advertising presents an ad campaign that will connect tea-
drinkers with the Tazo brand in meaningful and sustainable ways. By
tapping into “tea culture,” we have learned that tea-drinkers seek an
experience in each cup of tea. Our plan uses the experiential quality of
tea to appeal to consumers by showing them how Tazo Tea can enhance
their daily routine and even the pursuit of their more whimsical
aspirations.

a daily ritual. Flavor, familial preferences, and brand social responsibility govern
their choice of tea. They are health-conscious; they live active lifestyles and prepare
wholesome meals. They are well-educated and socially conscious. They often prefer
organic and Fair-Trade products. They appreciate multiculturalism and pride themselves
in worldliness. Their relaxation and entertainment often include nature and social
activities with friends and family. They consider themselves to have well-developed
connections with both themselves and with others.

campaign  strategy
Our target market consistently assigns more meaning to a cup of
tea than that of any other beverage, describing each cup of tea as
an experience. They often use the word “ritual” to describe the
importance of tea in their daily routine. They further describe tea as
an “escape” or a “retreat” when their cup of tea is what transports
them away from the chaos of their everyday routine to a calmer
place. To address the meaningfulness of tea to our target market
of tea-drinkers, we structure our campaign around the experiential
PT@KHSXNESD@ OQDRDMSHMF3@YN@R@AQ@MCSG@SNƤDQR@TMHPTD@MC
superior tea experience.

Furthermore, our target market seeks the betterment of self


and society, and they are in constant pursuit of these dreams.
They are health-conscious, connected with nature, embracing
of multiculturalism, socially-conscious, and always seeking
enlightenment. We appeal to their dream-chasing idealism with
