As the star of Peep Show at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, Holly Madison is the hottestnew vixen of “Sin City”. A larger than life billboard will be placed on the Las Vegasstrip, featuring a picture similar to the one above.

In place of the disco ball, Holly will be sitting on the top of a huge opened oyster with herbottom leg dangling below it, while the top half of her body and her extended leg reachabove the normal rectangular parameter of the board. As opposed to the city surrounding the shell as seen above, the city will be busting out from the inside of the shell (like a pop

up book effect).

The headline will read across the top, “Holly likes it on the late night”. The middle leftside of the board will have the blurb, “24/7 freshness at Oyster Joe’s café, make nextright! At the bottom right corner where the Holly’s World logo appears will be the MLOlogo alongside the tagline: How do you like it?

Chloe and Lamar Odom are lying on a beach bed with champagne in her handand two plates set out in front of them.

them with the silk cloth cover moving slightly by the wind

Creative Brief

What problem are we trying to solve?

• Oysters have caught a bad rap for being smelly, slimly, and dangerousterritory most would rather not enter

• Altering the perception of oysters from dangerous to intriguing will drawmore positive attention to one of the seas most delectable and understatedtreasures.

• Make people crave the experience of eating oysters instead of avoiding it

Who are we communicating?

What’s the unique selling proposition?

• People have a one track mind when it comes to the preparation of oysters,so by highlighting the different ways they can be served, consumers will

come to the conclusion that they may simply prefer one way over anotherrather than no way at all

• In today’s society, people strive for high status, value luxury, and love the

VIP treatment. If the experience of eating oysters brings these things toconsumers’ lives, the interest in eating them will increase

• Tying oysters to our favorite celebrity faces and showing how eating them

is part of how they enjoy the “good life”, consumers will be eager to obtainit the same way

• Associating oysters with the suggestion of sex will add mystique to theproduct and trigger consumer curiosity

What do you want them to feel?

• In the study, a majority of the participants noted that they think that thestatement, “oysters are an aphrodisiac” is a fact. Connecting the food toromance gives oysters a greater sex appeal

Focus Group Summary

My focus group consisted of 13 participants ranging from age 20 to 52. Of the group, 7were females and 6 were males. I asked each participant the same series of questions inan individual and face-to-face setting to keep the environment somewhat constant. The

survey questions along with their results are presented below:

1. Sex:

2. Age:

3. Which of your five senses do you find most valuable?Sight: 10; taste: 2; sound: 1; smell: 0; touch: 0

4. Would you be more likely to try something new on vacation: Yes: 12/No: 1

5. Do you eat things or avoid them according to peer recommendation? Yes: 7/No: 6

6. Would you rather eat/cook at home, dine out, or order in?2 8 3

7. What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word oyster?

8. Have you ever tried an oyster? Yes: 10/ No: 3a: *If so, what did you think? What was the experience like?

9. Do you eat oysters frequently? Yes: 2 /No: 11

10. Would you prefer your oysters served raw/cooked? Raw: 7; Cooked: 6

11. “Oysters are an aphrodisiac”: myth or fact? Myth: 5; Fact: 8

12. Are you aware of any past water contamination scares in the U.S? yes: 12/No: 1a: *If yes, did it affect your choice to eat seafood? Yes: 4 /No: 9

The questions I chose to ask the participants are a combination of generalquestions about the individual’s preferences, followed by some specific questionspertaining to oysters including their knowledge, experiences, and opinions of the food. By

using this variety of questioning, a correlation between consumer personalities and their view on oysters may show, giving some insight into why the public demand of thismollusk is so low, as of late.



By finding out which of the five senses people value the most, I was able to get abetter idea of what people’s first impression of food depends on. A majority of the groupsaid that they value sight over the other four. People tend to be attracted to vibrant, bold,inviting foods to satiate their palate, while oysters carry none of those characteristics.

12 out of the 13 participants said they would be more likely to try something newon vacation. People who don’t normally swim with dolphins, zip line through theAmazon, or day drink, are more inclined to do so on a break from their everyday life. So,

statistically, individuals who would normally pass at the chance are more open toindulging in oysters.

In today’s society, peer opinion is considered superior to most. What dress shouldI wear? Do you like your car insurance company? Should I switch phone services? These

are all questions we ask our friends and family, but whether we use their opinions to makeour decisions remains to be seen. When it comes to food, the group results showed nocorrelation between sex and whether or not peer recommendation is important. Based onthe results, there are almost as many people who do not listen to peer recommendation,as there is who do.

People are more likely to eat oysters when they go out to eat due, in part, to thefact that they aren’t available at every supermarket and aren’t advertised all year-aroundin all 50 states. A majority of the focus group prefers to dine out, yet only 2 out of the 10people who have tried oysters eat them frequently. A majority of the 10 participants whohave tasted oysters at least once in their life described them as slimy and fishy, but only 5of them viewed their oyster tasting experience as a positive one.

The true consumer reaction to the product was shown in survey question #7. Thefirst thing that came to 4 participants minds when hearing the word oyster were of negative connotation, including the words: “not good”, “gross”, “barf”, and “yuck”. All 4had previously tasted oysters and gave their answer based on their experience with them,not an assumption they had or an experience by a friend. 2 participants’ first reactionswere: “yum” and “delicious” and both of them eat oysters frequently. 3 participants firstthoughts were: “vacation/tropical”, “Rockefeller”, and “Bay”. The remainder of theparticipants said the first thing that came to their mind when hearing oyster was“aphrodisiac” and “sex”.

Both participants who had never tried oysters before described them as an

aphrodisiac. This shows how powerful reputation can be, regardless of if it’s true, for

someone to identify oysters as a sexual food while never actually experiencing the afteraffects of them. Leading to the next question, more people think the statement “Oystersare aphrodisiacs” is a factual statement rather than a myth, although there is neither solidproof nor much research done to conclude they actually have the ability to arouse. This,

once again, goes to show how impressionable the public can be when it comes to word-of mouth. The more frequently something is said, the more likely people are to think it’strue.
