Communication Plan for BuzzBerry
1. Public Relations and Publicity:
o Create a fictitious character/mascot, Sid The Techie, who would represent the
following characteristics: tech- savvy, young, peppy, rebellious, responsible,
traditional, positive, and confident. Sid would represent todays tech-savvy youth,
and would be used in various communication material - ad campaigns/
posters/TVCs etc.o Engage a youth icon, Ranbir Kapoor, as the Spokesperson and endorser for the
brand. The target audience would be able to relate to a young endorser and this
would leverage the positioning of the brand.
o RIMs young officials would also serve as the spokesperson for the brand.
o Create a lot of buzz amongst the youth by employing the youngster as Buzz Agents
in colleges and youth clubs. The buzz agents would promote the brand throughonline viral campaigns and word of mouth.
