Executive SummaryBoomchickapop is healthy, vegan, low-calorie, and conveniently
pre-popped popcorn snack. Our mission? To increase awareness
of Boomchickapop’s yummy goodness in our target market
of women ages 35-49. To accomplish this, we embarked on
a campaign consisting of creative emphasizing an idea at the
heart of the Boomchickapop brand: “Take snacking lightly.” The
Boomchickapop woman cares about her health and fitness, but
still highly values taste when choosing a snack. Our campaign will
focus on all of the positives surrounding having a snack, with none
of the guilt. Boomchickapop will be seen as the snack you won’t
have to worry about, and the one that women will want to share
with their family members and friends.

situation analysis
Legal/Regulatory Factors
The Food and Drug Administration is in the process of updating nutrition labels, which
will make make it simpler for consumers to understand what they are eating. Some of
the proposed changes include increasing the font size used to display calories and
standardizing serving sizes. This overhaul can benefit Boomchickapop because they
have already recognized that calories per serving and serving size information can
be a little confusing. Because Boomchickapop has nothing to hide, they list calorie
information on the front of every bag and dedicate an entire page on their website to
an explanation of serving sizes and calorie information.
Sociocultural Factors
Currently, health and nutrition is a focal point in the public consciousness, especially
with the work of First Lady Michelle Obama. This has lead to people looking for
heart-healthy foods, watching fat intake, and looking for less processed foods.
Bookchickapop caters to this sociocultural force by providing consumers with a whole
grain option, zero trans fat, and no preservatives. Added sugar is another problem.
Luckily, Boomchickapop contains no high-fructose corn syrup and no artificial sugars.
Popcorn is also naturally gluten-free, making it the perfect snack food in an era which
poses an increasing reluctance toward eating gluten.

campaign objectives
Marketing/Advertising
By the end of our campaign, 75 percent of our target market will be aware of
Boomchickapop, and 50 percent will find value in what Boomchickapop does and have
motivation to purchase its products. In addition, 75 percent of women ages 35-49 will
have been exposed to one of our ads at least four times. Boomchickapop sales will
increase by 10 percent.
Time Frame
Ampersand Media’s Boomchickapop campaign will run for one year, from January
2014 to December 2014, in order to capitalize on the season of New Year’s
resolutions, many of which involve a healthier and more active lifestyle among our
target, and then continue to gain increasing levels of awareness and sales.

Research
Objectives
Primary Research
Secondary Research
1) Determine brand awareness
2) Explore reasoning behind snacking choices and behaviors
3) Find out what women look for in a snack
In order to harvest information about our target market, we conducted survey research
by disseminating a survey to members of the target group online. In addition, Ampersand
Media conducted a series of informal conversations with selected members of the target
market. We then analyzed our results for common behaviors and values in the respondents
and used these discoveries to inform our strategy.
To inform our primary research, Ampersand Media consulted the Simmons database
for insights into the target market and an estimate of the competition. In addition, we
used Boomchickapop’s website and a thorough search on the popcorn and snack food
categories to gain a sense of Boomchickapop’s situation today.

our strategy
The Problem
Boomchickapop popcorn is largely unfamiliar to its target market (women aged 35-49),
which may be due to its inherent appeal to a younger demographic.
Key Insight
From our research, we gleaned that our target includes women who partake in such
activities as cooking for fun, exercising through recreational activity, gardening, and
who ultimately are socially invested in being healthy. Their concern for personal fitness
and nutrition come from a need to be seen as a healthy, active person by their peers.
Brand Promise
Boomchickapop popcorn is tasty, guilt-free, and makes you look and feel
like the healthy person that you are.

creative strategy
Art Direction
To accurately relate to our target audience and persuade them to “take snacking lightly,” Ampersand elected
to portray the myriad responsibilities and engagements that occupy the thoughts of a woman 35-49. Because
there is no such thing as the “average woman,” Ampersand avoided the use of a specific woman in the ads and
instead used handwritten schedules and artifacts of women’s daily lives to show the viewer that this could be
her. In this way, the visuals superimpose Boomchickapop into each woman’s life. The design scheme of the ads,
including color choices, font choices, and visual composition, all serve to underscore the carefree, fun brand
identity of Boomchickapop. By using lightweight fonts and bright colors, we can effectively connect back to the
big idea, to “take snacking lightly.”
Copywriting
Our mission when writing the copy for our print ads was to show that, even when experiencing a busy day,
anyone can grab a bag of Boomchickapop for a quick and satisfying snack. To fit in with the upbeat energy of
the brand, we emphasize that eating Boomchickapop popcorn is the fun part of any day. Not only that, but we
wanted to communicate the fact that consumers don’t have to worry when munching on our popcorn because of
the low number of calories as well as the simplicity of the ingredients.
Our target audience (women ages 35-49) is constantly busy with their everyday lives, and they don’t have
time to fuss about guilt associated with unhealthy (but tasty) snacks. Our research shows that our target market
values flavor in snacks but also looks for healthier options. Boomchickapop is approximately 35 calories a cup
and is made with natural ingredients.The product offers our target a snack that they can enjoy without thought
as to calories or unknown ingredients. Our campaign strategy focuses on portraying women who have a full
schedule but make time to eat Boomchickapop popcorn. It’s a light snack you don’t have to think twice about.
We want our target to know that Boomchickapop takes snacking lightly--and they should, too.

creative testing resultsAs always at Ampersand, it’s not enough to simply create--we have to ask, “...and?
What else can we do?” The next logical step is testing. It became apparent that few
women in our target market were aware of Boomchickapop. Overall, the response to
the preliminary creative was overwhelming. Respondents found the executions visually
pleasing and appealing. However, some alterations were necessary. Mary Holland,
a Student Organizations Business Specialist at Ithaca College and member of our
secondary market, pointed out that the amount of copy on our magazine executions
was a little overwhelming. With her feedback we decided to trim our copy and
highlight important words within the copy. The commentary that we received during
our creative testing helped us to create advertisements that will attract and interest our
target market.
If I saw a billboard like that on my drive home from work it would really catch my
attention. Definitely not your traditional billboard.
-Barb Masteller, 48
“I like the color scheme of these ads. The first thing I noticed was the
Boomchickapop on the bag. I have never heard of this popcorn but it looks great
and for 37 calories I would definitely try it!
-Traci Wendler, 35

media objectives
Reach the Target
In this campaign, we work to reach our primary audience of women between the ages of 35 and 49. These
women are driven career women and mothers who are interested in appearing health-conscious and focused
on fitness. Our secondary audience consists of women between the ages of 25 and 34.
Geographic Scope
Our campaign combines national and regional advertisements. We will advertise nationally in magazines,
television spots and with internet radio services and regionally with placements on billboards that will be
located outside of major cities so that our target market can see them on their to and from work.
Message Weight
Becaause Ampersand Media’s target market consists of women who have mostly established roles in their lives
as professionals, mothers, or both; and because the target consists of women who are more socially invested
in their health and fitness, Ampersand has selected a variety of popular women’s magazines to cater to these
women’s interests. In addition, we have chosen to include advertisements in online streaming radio sites like
Pandora and Spotify, which are commonly used for workout playlists or ambient music at work.
Media Strategy
The effective reach for this campaign is 80, with an effective frequency of four, meaning that 80% of the target
market will be reached at least four separate times. The continuity of this campaign will be a combination of
continuous and pulsing. Television commercials will air most heavily in May, as women begin to think about
getting in shape for summer and start looking for healthy snacks. They will also air heavily during the end of
August and the beginning of September, as mothers often do a much of their back-to-school shopping in stores
such as Target, where Boomchickapop is sold. Billboards will be placed outside of cities during the summer
months to catch both the usual women who commute in and out of the city, and to also take advantage of
the extra traffic that may leave the city in vacation periods. Ads will be placed continually in magazines
throughout the year, with different magazines emphasized in different months. Ads on internet radio and
websites will run continuously throughout the year, providing constant reinforcement of the ads women are
seeing elsewhere.

PARTNERSHIP/EVENTS
Objective: To reach members of our target market and promote the Boomchickapop brand by partnering
with Zumba fitness classes at national gyms (Planet Fitness or Gold’s Gym) as well as host a separate, “movie-in-
the-park” type of event in major cities.
Strategy: Boomchickapop will team up with the Zumba Fitness brand at national gyms to position the product
as a fun, guilt-free snack perfect for after an upbeat workout with friends. Members of the Zumba class will be
able to sample the flavors and receive coupons to purchase Boomchickapop online or in stores.
The “movie in the park” nights will be sponsored by the brand and feature Boomchickapop as the official
popcorn snack of the night. In major cities, we would feature “throwback” movies in outdoor settings as a
nostalgic appeal to our target, and in other areas of the country we would team up with a major cinema brand
to sponsor a current film in theatres and take over the popcorn stand for our target moviegoers.
ALTERNATIVE METHOD
Objective: To inject the Boomchickapop brand into pop culture by the use of a popular network television
show that appeals to our market and features likeable main characters who are similar to our ideal customer.
Strategy: Write a scene for FOX’s “The Mindy Project” where the main character, Dr. Mindy Lahiri catches a
male nurse eating her Boomchickapop snack, which opens up a dialogue about the product and touches on Dr.
Lahiri’s weight and physical appearance –a popular topic of conversation and laughs throughout the plot of the
show.

EVENT SPONSORSHIP
Objective: Show support by becoming an official sponsor for a women’s race in Minnesota to highlight
Angie’s Popcorn’s philanthropic efforts and connect with a larger audience who supports a healthy and fit
lifestyle.
Strategy: Sponsor the Women Run the Cities event 5K/10K/10MI event organized by the Minnesota
Commercial Real Estate Women (MNCREW). Possible brand activation tactics aside from sponsorship could
include creating an Angie’s team to participate in the run or hosting an outdoor tent at the event to offer
popcorn samples and create brand awareness to participants and other attendees.
