Where I can add the most value...
Situation
• Kids sweet brand positioned as “healthy sweet”• Target market does not relate to positioning• Volume is in decline
Task
• Develop top order brand ideas and communication plan to increase appeal to target market• Ensure effectiveness and value for money objectives are met
Action
• Redefine brand positioning, character and tone to appeal to target market • Work with sales team to use brand collateral to present to retailers
Result
• New positioning has created ‘reasons to stock’ and 3 new listings in major multiples• New packaging is on shelf within 9 months• The brand is set for growth
Examples of what I can do
Brand orchestration: Chewits
Situation
• Inconsistent brand messaging across media caused confusion• Web site attracted low levels of visitors. No other internet presence• Brand in danger of becoming irrelevant
Task
• Develop interactive campaign to bring positioning to life• Do something different: create stand-out from competition
Action
• Took the brand to places where the target consumers were by:• developing Facebook fan page• placing iconic Chewits TV ads on YouTube• creating Chewie internet games for consumers
• New web site launched to pull together activity and provide interaction
Result
• In year 1, fan page generated 50k followers, over 100k views on YouTube and millions of plays on Chewits games
• Followers interacted with the brand by influencing flavour development of NPD• Communication plan is now interactive leading to a massive database on consumers

Situation
• Princes dominates the paste and spreads category• The category was in decline as consumers saw it as irrelevant to their lifestyle• Retailers where demanding higher margins whilst retail price was declining
Task
