CompetitorAnalysis
Strength
The most similar to Izze, but offered with
different flavors. This is also a lot less
expensive and tastes very similar. In addition
to that, all of their drinks are vitamin
enriched, and listed as gluten free.
Weakness
Only have products with vitamins, which may
not appeal to all in their audience. Some of
the flavors are childish, which may not
appeal to the market they are targeting.
Strength
An Italian-made product, making it the most
authentic European-like soda. Packaged
differently in a club-shaped glass, which
looks more sophisticated.
Weakness
They have very limited flavors, only sticking
to citrus flavors, which doesn't make it a
very diverse drink. Also, very few people are
aware of this product all together, only
knowing the brand for its sparkling mineral
water.
Strength
A very low calorie version of sparkling fruit juice. They market mostly to children which
creates a broader market who are on the rise of the health-conscious movement.
Weakness
Because they primarily target children, this product does not have the sophistication
aspect of most of the others in its category.

Environmental Analysis
Izze sparkling juices face competition on a few fronts. There is competition from the traditional soda
industry, such as Coca Cola, other Pepsi products, and store brand sodas, as well as from flavored seltzer
water brands such as Polar Water or Seagram's. However, Izze is unique from its competitors because it offers
a truly delicious beverage that is still good for you, as it packs two full servings of fruit into one 12oz bottle.
Because of this, Izze sparkling juices are appropriate for both special occasions and everyday enjoyment, unlike
sodas or traditional seltzer waters.
Competitive Forces
Compared to lower-quality soda and seltzer beverages, Izze sparkling juices tend to cost a bit more. However,
other beverages do not offer the same health and flavor benefits that Izze sparkling juices do. At $1.39 to
$1.69 per 12oz bottle, Izze is still an affordable choice for price-sensitive consumers.
As a carbonated beverage, Izze could be considered a soda drink. Although no states in the US have passed a
soda tax yet, New York state considered this in 2010, and Denmark, Mexico and Norway already have soda
taxes established. This could be a threat to price-sensitive consumers and international markets.
Economic Forces
Legal/regulatory Forces
Many of today's consumers are becoming increasingly health-, socially- and environmentally-conscious. With
the increasing demonization of the soda industry, many consumers are trying to find alternatives to
traditional soft drinks. Izze sparkling juice is the perfect alternative. The all-natural fruit juice in each bottle
keeps the drinks sweet enough to curb soda cravings but without the extra calories and refined sugar. Izze also
offers Izze Esque, a low calorie drink option, as well as Izze fortified with Vitamins. Additionally, Izze sparkling
juices are produced in recyclable glass or aluminum containers, giving our product an environmental lead over
beverages in plastic bottles. With regards to social responsibility, Izze's founders started the Global Education
Fund to support childhood education. While drinking Izze, consumers can be sure that they are making positive
choices for themselves and for their community.

Objectives&Budget
Marketing Objectives: Through this
campaign, we hope to increase sales of Izze soda
by 9% over the next year. We will achieve this
by bringing attention to the delicious flavor of
Izze and its natural and healthy ingredients.
Advertising Objective: We hope to
reach 70% comprehension and 50% conviction
among our target market. Our target market
is both men and women between the ages of 18
and 34. We hope to reach 70% of our market
four times each.
Budget Summary: First Name was
allotted $12 million with which to
execute this campaign. We are
focusing heavily on TV and magazine
advertising while also utilizing internet
and out of home media.
Time Frame: Our campaign will
last a year long, beginning in January
2015 and ending in December 2015.
We will utilize a pulsing
strategy, meaning our campaign will
run all year, but we will
increase advertisements during
certain times of the year, such
as right before summertime.

Research
To identify:
-Who drinks IZZE? Who is the primary
target?
-Why do IZZE drinkers prefer this
brand to others?
-What makes IZZE different from
other brands?
-What are the demographics,
geographics, psychographics,
habits of our primary target?
-Which mediums will most
effectively reach our target
market?
ObjectivesofResearch
Our primary goal of primary research
was to find the most commonly used
mediums by our target market. We
accomplished this by putting a link on
our packaging that sends the customer
to our website. All the customer
needed to do was fill out a quick 20
question survey about how they heard
about IZZE plus rank how often they
use various mediums. In return, and to
create an incentive, the
customer receives a $3 dollar off their
next purchase of an IZZE 4 pack.
Another method we used was
observational research. We observed
the number of people purchasing our
product at various gas stations,
supermarkets, and wholesale stores in
order to find out where to place our
point of purchase advertisements. Based
on all of our results we discovered the
top two most effective ways to reach
our target market would be Television
and magazine advertisements. Although
most of our budget will be allocated in
TV and magazines, our research
indicates point of purchase, online, and
out of house advertisements will also
help promote IZZE.
PrimaryResearch
We used the Simmons database to
conduct our secondary research. Here
we found generaldemographic features
of our market. It's adominantly white
group, 58% female, 42% male. They
are on the younger side, 18-34 and are
upper middle class. Questions pertaining
to hobbies, social interaction, recent
life events, and shopping helped us hone
in on the behaviors of a typical Izze
drinker. Popular activities among the
market include enjoying the nightlife,
listening to music, and reading. Lastly,
we used questions about environmental
beliefs, health attitudes, and
introspective views. Here we found that
our market is environmentally
conscious, id very self motivated, and
cares strongly about their personal
health.

brandvalueproposition
Izze is an all natural drink made up of 70% real fruit juice and 30% seltzer water,
that's it! There's no added artificial flavoring or color, so you know what you're
putting in your body. In one bottle of Izze, you get not one, but two servings of
fruit. With the delicious taste of Izze, having two servings of fruit was never easier.
Functionalbenefits
Izze drinkers don't need to feel guilty twisting open their favorite flavor of Izze.
People associate fizzy and flavorful drinks with unhealthy habits but with Izze, you're
feeding your body all natural ingredients. Not to mention the vibrant and positive
brand makes it hard not to be in a great mood while drinking an Izze.
emotionalbenefits
People who drink Izze want to be seen with the bottle in their hand. The higher
quality and visually appealing drink shows that people who drink it have a sense of
style and uniqueness. Not only that, but the all-natural ingredients expresses the
importance of the users healthy lifestyle.

keyinsights
The main challenge we
face is creating an
image for Izze that sets
it apart from other soft
drinks. Izze is in the soft
drink middle ground; it is
not a soda but also not
just flavored carbonated
water, truly making it in
a league of its own. We
need to create an image
for Izze as a soft drink
with a crisp, delicious,
all natural taste, making
it a viable drink option
whether just for lunch
or a major event. Most-
importantly, we need to
make our target market
think of Izze as simply
better than other soft
drinks.
TheChallenge
Through researching our
target market, we found some
information that will be
highly beneficial to our
campaign. When looking into
introspective questions
pertaining to health we found
our target market cares
strongly about their personal
health. In addition, our
target market also cares about
the health of the environment
around them, and tries to be
as eco-friendly as possible.
Moreover, the target market
also enjoys cooking, eating
as organically as possible, and
spending time out with friends.
KeyInsights
We are planning to appeal to
the personal health cares of
our target market by creating
a campaign that will set forth
Izze as an all-natural,
preservative-free drink with
two servings of fruit that is
the right beverage choice no
matter what the occasion.

Creative Overview
CREATIVESTRATEGy
First Name plans on re-energizing Izze Sparkling Juice through its
innovative thinking and creative advertisement execution, connecting
the product back to the world it came from. We at First Name were
inspired to connect Izze back to its flavor's roots, because we know
that every sip of Izze tastes like a bite of our favorite fruit. We came
up with the idea "nature wants it back," emphasizing the true, natural
flavors and ingredients of Izze. The campaign will appeal to a
younger, environmentally friendly audience, through the portrayal
of some innovative thinking wild-life, taking back what they believe to
be rightfully theirs. The target audience will feel good drinking Izze
knowing that there are no preservatives, no refined sugars and no
artificial flavors-just natural fruit juice and seltzer.
In every advertisement, there
will be three main sections of
copy. The first copy will be
the tag-line, "nature wants
it back." which will be placed
next to the bottle of Izze in
each visual. At the bottom
of each advertisement, next
to the Izze logo there will be
a repetition of "no phrases"
describing the
naturalness of the product.
These phrases include:
no preservatives,
no refined sugars,
no artificial flavors,
finishing with the phrase -
no wonder nature wants it
back, reinforcing the tag-line
form above. The third main
section of copy, is the brand
activation piece, in which we
have a call to action for the
buyer to tweet to win free
Izze. All texts use the Bebas
text font, which is the font
found on all Izze products.
Copywriting
ArtDirection
Just like someone's own first name, the art direction for the advertisement is
plain and simple, yet easy to remember. The background of every advertisement,
excluding the web, is a plain white background. In the fore ground, Izze product
is front and center, with an animal from nature attempting to take the sparkling
juice back. The main color of the advertisements come from the Izze bottle, with
the text and boiler plate colored after the product. The tag-line "nature wants
it back." is in full color, as well as the background of the boiler plate. In the
bottom left hand corner of the advertisement, the packaging of the Izze product
is placed following the call to action and facts about the naturalness of the Izze
product.
17. 17
Web execution
The banner advertisement will have three main parts. The initial will show an Izze bottle with legs
running across the screen followed by the silhouettes of a variety of animals. After the bottle
and animals leave the screen, the bottle will run back across the screen the other way with the
banner, which includes both Izze logos and the tag-line "nature wants it back." After the
banner comes across the screen, the sides with the two Izze logos will remain, and from the
bottom to the top, the call to action, "click here for a chance to win some free izze product,"
will stay on the banner.

Billboards are an important aspect of our campaign because it gives us a viable way to reach our
target audience when they are out of their homes and on the move. Our target audience is full
of urbanites who also enjoy getting outside, making billboards an excellent way to reach them.
Whether they are sitting in traffic or cruising home from a weekend vacation, our billboard
advertising will have our target audience craving the crisp, delicious, all-natural taste of Izze.
Out of home
Twitter is one of the largest social media platforms in the world. Promoted posts with
#NatureWantsItBack will help us further activate our brand. Brand activation is a key part of this
campaign and Twitter promoted posts will play a key role.
Pinterest is a unique platform for creating personal connections with consumers. By
repeatedly updating followers with recipes and pictures relating to Izze, we can build brand loyalty
among customers. Additionally, followers will share Izze posts with their own
followers, allowing us to build a community of Izze-lovers.
26. 2626
MediaChoices:
Television
We chose The Discovery Channel because Izze drinkers experience nature's beauty on
television just as much as they like to drink all natural ingredients. The discovery
channel also connects with our big idea relating to nature. We specifically chose to
advertise on Man v. Wild because Izze drinkers are adventurous and welcome educational
programming.
ESPN is a network that provides throngs of sports lovers with their daily dose of
sporting events and news. Their programming is youthful and action-filled, making
it a good platform to target our demographic. In particular we will concentrate on
SportsCenter, ESPN's flagship show which is a fast-paced news and highlights show.
Because our target market is made up of relatively busy consumers, they use SportsCenter
to catch up on their sporting news.
History Channel viewers are becoming younger with the content heading in a more fun
and reality based network. Izze drinkers have a passion for expanding their knowledge,
but also love having a good time.
To appeal to our target audeince, we have also decided to utilize two cooking shows on
two different networks: Food Network and Bravo Television. On food network, we have
deicded to incorporate Izze as a "secret ingredient" on the famous show chopped, during
the dessert round of the competition. In addition , Izze will be sponsoring Top Chef
Buffalo on Bravo, appearing in the show in a variety of ways, including as a competition
ingredient, as well as a sponsor for the award winner and "Top Chef."

Brand Activation
For the brand activation portion of our campaign we are going to concentrate on grassroots
and social media. Social media is a simple and cost-effective way to solidify our brand and
increase our sales. Through grassroots and guerilla advertising in major metropolitan areas
we can help beautify communities while also increasing our brand awareness.
This portion of our campaign will begin with gardens popping up overnight in major US cities.
With approval from the cities, we will, over the course of one night, construct beautiful
gardens in the shape of Izze's logo in abandoned lots. With every popup garden there will be
signs with #NatureWantsItBack and @Izze with logos of Twitter, Instagram and Facebook,
giving people the motive to share the garden on social media.
In addition, we have decided to partner with a variety of gas stations and super markets to do
brand activation samples. Included with this sample will be a coupon in which the target
audience can save $1.00 on Izze. This coupon will assist in increasing conviction rate in our
target market.

Izze has decided to partner with
one of Bravo TV's top shows, Top
